Diminuendo – Chapter 8: Tremolo
Chapter 8: Tremolo Adriel barely slept a wink. He was…agitated. In a frenzy. Keyed up. Stretched like taffy through a taffy puller. He’d done his nightly (despite it being morning) prayer, crawled into bed, and found no peace. Only the howling winds of his mind filling his ears. Causing his heart to pound, his blood…

Poetry – January 30th, 2023
January 30th, 2023 A fog-like dread rolls in sending chips of ice down my spine and leaving slick wet trails behind. Then came the creaking. The creeping sound of walls pressing and bending out of shape, a low groan of protest that brings my eyes up towards the cracks splitting the ceiling. Cracks that seem…

Short Story – Primary Legacy
Primary Legacy His mother dying hadn’t been surprising. She’d been sick for years. And Theo had been her caretaker. He cooked her meals, measured her medicine, and comforted her when fever and nightmares had their grip on her. “No hospital,” she’d beg, voice hoarse from disuse, “can’t trust them, none of them.” Theo tried to…

Diminuendo – Chapter 7: Adagio
Chapter 7: Adagio Shiloh slipped a long-sleeved top over her head. It was surprisingly similar to the kind of shirt she would be wearing around this time anyways. Though not as soft and somehow plainer than what she would choose for herself. A simple off-white with a pair of gray sweatpants. She’d already worn it…

Diminuendo – Chapter 6: Espressivo
Chapter 6: Espressivo Adriel squeezed the bridge of his nose and forced himself to take deep breaths. Fingers shaking, he tried to ignore the pounding headache aching to burst through his skull. He took another sip of coffee. It was either his first cup or his tenth. He couldn’t remember, every time he thought he…

Diminuendo – Chapter 5: Legato, Fine
Chapter 5: Legato, Fine Shiloh blinked up at the woman standing over her. She was…one of the most elegant and beautiful women she’d ever seen in her life. A flowy, yellow sundress wrapped around her, bright against the off-white ivory of her skin. Long wavy tresses of blonde hair trailed down her shoulders, ending at…

Diminuendo – Chapter 4: Legato Interlude, Âme Damnée
Chapter 4: Legato Interlude, Âme Damnée Myra thought she couldn’t fall any further than she’d already had. And there were elements of that statement that were still true. She was the epitome of a sinner. There were no doubts about that. She indulged in all forms of finery; the finest clothes, foods, places, and gatherings,…

Diminuendo – Chapter 3: Legato, Inizio
Chapter 3: Legato, Inizio Shiloh let out a sigh, a headache already budding between her eyes. If Genesis decided to show their face around her again she’d kill them herself. Getting her property out of holding had quickly become a nightmare. They didn’t care if she was in the middle of filling out a very…

Diminuendo – Chapter 2: A Prima Vista
Chapter 2: A Prima Vista “She’s not the killer.” Adriel stood behind the one-way glass with his arms crossed. His eyes didn’t move from the stranger currently sitting tensely in her chair. He was pretty sure they were wearing similar frowns. “She doesn’t have anything to do with the killer either, nothing but an innocent…

Diminuendo – Chapter 1: Anacrusis
Chapter 1: Anacrusis Adriel woke up to the shrill sound of his phone ringing. He fumbled for it, room pitch black and still half asleep. Only through habit and instinct was he able to swipe his thumb across the screen and bring it to his ear. “Hmgh?” he said, intelligently. “Genesis struck again last night…
