It only took a glance to see that the behemoth spirits before him were powerful. They also represented unfettered progress. At eight feet of asphalt, ‘50’ seemed to be in charge…but just barely.  The serpentine mass over his shoulder had avarice and desire in its eyes.  It has desire for itself and desire for the power that ‘50’ ( Read more... )

He felt it.  Everything had changed...again.  The tail to his heads was missing and what is the worth of half a coin?  Miles had slowly melted under his rugged old boots when the certainty had reached him that, for a while, he was safe.  That constant and neverending eye that burned across the horizon like a bad fiction reprodution had blinked, ( Read more... )

So I get off of working a 24 hour shift and realize that I have no cash in my back pocket.  I head to the Suntrust center to pull a few dollors out of the ATM.  ATM is down, diebold is there doing repairs.  Damn it ( Read more... )

  I actually wanted to show up to the shindig that Sol and Gyps threw.  Thought maybe we could clear the air a bit.  Even if it meant beating Sol's ass to do it.

I have birthed children and then found them when thier own parents had ( Read more... )

Hmmmm....The realestate lady thinks I'm crazy for listing the place for $50,000.  Of course, she doesn't realize that the morgage broker has already lost my paperwork.  Now I just need to find a good replacement for the head of trauma surjury at work.  Couple of my interns are truly talented.  So, it shouldn't be too difficult.  Lost my wife.  Lost ( Read more... )

.......Its all gone to hell.  Think it's time to start selling the furniture.  I'm sure the house will sell quickly.

I have not seen nor heard from my wife in two months.  I left for four years to ensure her safty.  I guess she finally decided she couldn't accept that.  Where ever she is...I hope she is safe.  I pray she thinks of me kindly on occasion.  I hope she knows that I will always be her lead in man if she needs it.  I will always patch her up when she ( Read more... )

“I’ll be back in a couple of hours, Hon.” Ruktis said with practiced nonchalance.  It wasn’t that he was ashamed of what he was doing, but rather that he was simply uncomfortable with what he was going to do. A lifetime of training didn’t slough off of a person without some friction.  A certain level of detachment was necessary to do ( Read more... )

The sun had gone down some time ago and the moon shone with terrifying brilliance.  It was nearing the full aspect of its cycle with casual inevitability.  Something was different though.  The night wasn’t the same inviting embrace as always.  It seemed darker somehow, less vibrant.  It wasn’t just Ruktis who noticed it either.  ( Read more... )
