Victernus - Chapter 6
For the next few hours, Namara laid on a soft bed of white feathers in one of the rooms below the platforms, or control stations, as they had come to call them. A black wooden dresser stood on either side and a waterfall came down just...
Victernus - Chapter 5

Victernus - Chapter 4
Namara felt Hector's hands trying to shake him awake. Sitting up, he yawned and saw that they had stopped. It was midday, and they were sitting in the truck outside of a train station. One of the pressure trains was docked, waiting to...

Namara woke up to the sound of heavy knocking. Someone was at the front door, demanding to come inside. There was a dim light still on in the kitchen doing little to brighten things up. He glanced over at the microwave on one of the racks...
