Dion July 16th, 2017 2:17 AM The walls of rusted metal expanded to seeming eternity into the small tunnels. Dion could feel the s*** and piss up his leg and his feet that tried desperately to stay stable as he swam through the murk. His feet felt like a sponge. The ceilings dripped with gunk and filth with a smell …

Vicars July 16th, 2017 2:02 AM “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to do that back there.” Dion said. “It doesn’t matter now, none of it does,” Apollo said. Staring down below was intimidating for Apollo, with the hot fumes of an exhaust pipe blowing up at him and the skin underneath his mask collecting sweat. It was caught, the wetness …

Dion July 16th, 2017 1:47 AM The crowd of people around Dion jeered and laughed. They pumped their fists and drank from red cups and bottles that fell into lakes of broken glass. Dion watched a man come from this crowd, shirt removed. He was not thin nor strong, but very tall and very drunk. The man looked at him, …

Apollo July 16th, 2017 12:33 AM “Try not to make a scene. Act like ghosts, like we weren’t even here.” Apollo said. Dion stood to his rear across a neon-sign. A strange design, it featured a man (presumably, a man) on the floor sprawled out with a drink in his hand. The club was called, ‘Tipsies’. Cheeky. “I’ve never been …

The Drunk July 16th, 2017 1:39 AM Three drinks had made walking feel like a dance. Six had made it lopsided and slanted. Walking was hard. Especially when she was this drunk. This poor girl, nameless, a nobody in this town. This anonymous drunk was using her friends like walking canes, she rested her weight on them, each side of …

Alestor July 19th, 2017 9:05 PM   “Are you ready, Father?” A young woman said. It was strange, he thought, to be called a father to people who were not his children. And even stranger still, that these children (some, who were nearly twice his age), to worship him with obsessive candor as they did. The young woman trembled as …

Sophie July 18th, 2017 5:22 PM They had not sold anything in the two hours they were there and it was enough to make them look into the sky and beg for a falling anvil. The sun was oppressive, though hidden, lurking in the gray waves of clouds like an invisible ray beam pointed directly to the back of their …

Alestor July 18th, 2017 12:24 PM The fire lapsed around him, in swells and growths like tendrils, sporadic and gluttonous. He saw the fire grows and nodded to what he heard. His eyes, wide open as the giant surfs of red flames wrapped around him. Then he felt hot, though not from the fire that did not feel much of …

  Apollo July 18th, 2017 11:23 AM He sat in that small cubicle of a table, removing the contents of his burger. The lettuce, tomatoes, onions and finally pickles, all of which he put into neat piles around the plate. Dion entered the table with his own plate, staring at Apollo. His face convulsed as he looked at the man …

Alestor July 16, 2017 10:34 AM Alestor did not want to be here, in this cold room, working with the defects of society (as he called them). But today was special, an inauguration of sorts and because of that, he was obliged to tolerate his client’s company. For today was not just for himself, but for the other entity, the …
