The Next Wave
I feel it inside of me before I am able to perceive it with my external senses. It feels like a thin, cold, snake made of steel is coiling around the bones of my skeleton. My breathing slows in anticipation of its arrival, and I grit my teeth. I feel light dampness on my skin, […]

She knew that there was a possibility that she had imagined the young man’s smile, but Abigail was […]

He found himself abruptly under the tutelage of a rope maker. […]
