Likewise do speakers squeal from ominous silence to foreboding static and every PDA device matches, syncing to the same channel. The screens and sound clear slowly, and the familiar face they show is illuminated only by faint blue light, as that cast by ( Read more... )

[ Standing on the white sand at the southern end of the jungle path, a little girl stares out over the choppy waves. Darkness blankets the island, but this young girl holds an old oil lamp, its light a dim orange beacon. The cold sea breeze ruffles short blond hair as the child of about ten years looks impassively at the ocean, then the sky ( Read more... )

{Quite suddenly, the sun drops below the horizon and the island is pitched into total and complete darkness. Even the lamps and pool lights fall into blackness.

{Oh, but Agabail has found new treasures! Along with the large shining knife from room H1 and the interesting leather gloves from room I2, she has also procured from room A2 a rather interesting firearm, a nice shiny pistol ( Read more... )
