We Will Tell You
Join the revolution, turn and turn and turn Around, follow the sound, watch the birdie Which direction looks right; watch, learn Bet it all on just one card, down and dirty Watch all the ads and pay strict attention Get in the line now and march to the beat With the explosions, fast cuts, pretension […]
Serial Friday ~ Arcadian Journey
Chapter Two Eni no longer stood by Stavo and Brother Dom. She marched up to North and pinned him with her stare. Joy Hardiway, looking distraught, came up as well. Eni made North begin again, though it made him swear. He spoke more slowly under her prodding glare and his tone was not so fraught […]

Serial Tuesday ~ Toliver
Chapter Two Darkness, blacker and denser than the heart of a black hole enveloped Toliver. He thought he blinked his eyes, but there was no reference, no way to compare. He could not feel his body below his neck, but his mouth felt stuffed with worms. Part of him thought he should gag, but it […]
