Dane, Noriko, and Bertie: Balancing Act
Dane couldn't remember the dream upon waking, but he knew it had been bad. Shadowy figures in the dark, hissing and burbling, reaching for him. He couldn't remember what they looked...
Dane, Alan, and Darian: What Families are For
Dane Bennett moved through the rooms of the empty house, wandering through the bare-walled halls of a soft, dark green. He considered the open, empty rooms to his left and right,...
Rabbit Heart Pt. 3 - Ch. 6
Chapter 6 In the dark, a lantern swayed from side to side. Someone was patrolling the deck of the _Twilight Promise--_a marine, I was sure. Nobody in the crow's nest then, most likely. A large, powerful...
Rabbit Heart Pt. 3 - Ch. 5
