The God Child: Chapter 1 Awake
The sky above shone bright with the midday sun, playing red through closed eyelids. The boye blinked and squinted up at the cloudless sky. Trees waved in the distance and the cool grass danced with the breeze. As far as he could see, he lay alone in the park. The boy moved to sit up…

An Awoken Mind: Chapter 7
Friday It was difficult to tell how long he’d been asleep but when Erick woke up he didn’t think it had been very long. He was tired but not sleepy, if that made sense. He tried turning over to his other side but that did nothing for him. Was there much point to even sleeping…

An Awoken Mind: Chapter 6
Thursday When he awoke, Erick lay there on his cot for a long while. With all the windows and doors boarded up the interior stayed fairly dark, though to his eyes it remained gray, not quite fading out of sight. All the while that he lay there, he went over in his mind what his…

An Awoken Mind: Chapter 5
Wednesday A network of canals and smaller ditches wove through town and Erick had found a large culvert that was mostly dry where he could hide out in and spent the night there. A thin rivulet of water ran down the very bottom of the culvert but there was plenty of space on either side…

An Awoken Mind: Chapter 4

An Awoken Mind: Chapter 3
A Few More Days The majority of Sunday was spent in boredom. With nothing to do and nowhere to go, their options were quite limited. Erick’s energy was returning, but they both agreed that it would be best to wait until he had a larger store built up. “I feel like I’m in prison,” Sarah…

An Awoken Mind: Chapter 2
Saturday Erick blinked and he was greeted by a dull gray morning; the sun had yet to rise though it wasn’t far off. A thick quilted blanket had been draped over Erick sometime during the night. A quick look around revealed that Sarah was not inside the car. Through the shot out windows on the…

An Awoken Mind: Chapter 1
Friday An orange, open-top Jeep with sun baked mud splattered halfway up the doors and countless dents and scratches pulled into the driveway and honked. The house that this driveway belonged to was nothing special, every third house in the neighborhood was almost exactly the same; Only the cars and flowerbeds set them apart, and…

Wanderer
The bench was hard, made of granite. In the shade beneath the nearby oak it was cool to the touch, though Corrine couldn’t feel it. She was aware of the hardness and the temperature, but she didn’t feel things like she used to. A breeze was blowing and it, too, was unfelt by her. It…
