The Woman in the Watch
The seagulls could be heard cawing in the distance, while the rolling whoosh of the much nearer waves did its best to drown them out. A mild breeze stirred the palm trees into a swaying dance that almost had its own song, and the reddish golden glaze of the horizon warmed the earth, for the moment at least, with a pleasant aura of blissful harmony.

When Containment fails...
Normal Tuesday morning, that’s what Steven thought to himself as he filled his coffee mug at the breakroom coffee machine. Per his custom, he topped off the final 1/4th of his cup with hot chocolate, thereby making the bitter stimulant masquerading as a beverage consumable. He turned to make his way to his office.

Gehenna - Ode to Persephone - Chapter Two "A Grand Entrance"
Chapter Two A Grand Entrance The lights in the grand dining room of the Chateau de la Chevre D’or were as blinding as daylight, as if those in charge of the hotel found a way to bring the sun inside for the night along with their guests. And, just as the outside of the great structure had been updated to match the opulence and splendor of these new times, so had the interior. A grand orgy of evidence that if you were a world traveling sort of person with lots of money to burn they would prefer you burn it here. Burn it, eat it, drink it, bathe in it. They cared not. As long as you were giving them a share for the pleasure of facilitating your debauchery, their attitude was, “It’s the 20’s! Anything Goes!”

Gehenna - Ode to Persephone - Chapter 1 "A Provencal Holiday"
Chapter One A Provencal Holiday July was nearing its final curtain. The time for the season of tourists and sightseers to host its last few nights of bustling parties. Time for the starry-eyed crowds to reawaken to the real world and return to the humdrum of their normal lives – or at least most. For many this otherworldly magic had become a lifestyle, in many ways a religion; transforming this once ordinary place into a site of devout pilgrimage.

The Lost Ark by Zachary A. Pieper
Event Log: 1 Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. Raphael knew he didn’t want to find out. Yet, he always felt this compulsion when he looked out the viewing window on the observation deck. The compulsion to go find out exactly that. Even though it would basically require someone’s death, and he tried to rationalize it away, tried to smother the morbid little curiosity inside him. He never could. He lifted his cocktail to his lips as he contemplated whether or not the mania was getting to him. He thought maybe a trip to the Doc might be wise. But he didn’t want to be put on meds. Or worse, on ice.

Last Train to Dream
For Eliza, the transition was seamless. One moment, she was ambushed in the warehouse. The next, she opened her eyes on the floor of a train. At first, she did not move. Unsure what to make of what she was seeing. I suppose in her mind, she never thought she would end up inside the train to Dream. She most likely never even considered the proposition that it was real. After all, many whispered of a train that existed in the cyber. A train that looked and sounded like a regular mag-track bullet train. With its typical silver and smoke gray interior that elicited a sense of casual calm. They’d heard urban legends of the train that took its cargo to a place no one had been to before. But surely, these were just urban legends, right? The confusion in her eyes, which quickly turned to horror when she realized where she was… It was almost enough to satisfy the thirst for justice, felt by the man who had brought her here.

Of Wolves, Ravens, and Writing Desks by Zachary A. Pieper - Chapter 2
Chapter 2 When the wolf met the Raven “Wakey wakey boyo!” Is all I hear before the cold water hits me. “Fuck! God dammit Ekkert!” I shout as I jolt upright, standing from where I slept on my sofa in the basement. Must have sat down and passed out.

Of Wolves, Ravens, and Writing Desks by Zachary A. Pieper - Chapter 1
Chapter 1 What are you fighting for? When you sign up to The Cages, they don’t tell ya about the smell. Nor do they bother to mention how cramped the passageways are. They can’t even be bothered to clean the old guts off the floor apparently. But as long as the money is real, I guess none of it matters.

About his experience with a man named Doc Ebert.
