Penny Dreadful Chapter 4
Prologue Dear Diary, That feeling from a month ago has finally started to go away. The terrible gas station explosion news still makes me sad but there’s not a lot of that news anymore. I think I’ll stop watching the news for a while. The talk about the crop blaze a few villages over gave me mixed feelings. I got over it by seeing Mr. Joe at his new bakery. He looks happier.

Glass Winter | Chapter XXVII
They bound Sinner to a trunk, close enough for Sowne to hear his breathing once their captors departed, leaving them to rot in the dark. The murderers’ kith had kept itself alive through discourse, but the cold would claim them soon, as it had claimed Therath two sleeps ago.

Who Will Find Them?
Jake had a four-hour drive to mull over all the different ways he might convince the people at Safe Haven that he was simply a concerned individual who wanted to check on the young girl he managed to rescue from a trafficker. No matter how he adjusted the scenario in his mind, 50/50 was the best odds he could come up with. What Jake finally realized was that he needed some help from an outside source; possibly someone from the media. Hopefully, the incident wouldn’t be considered yesterday’s news. Out of the throngs of media pursuing him yesterday , he hoped at least one reporter might be interested in a human-interest follow-up piece.

~ Ed What am I doing? What the hell did I just see? Z cried. I heard them down the hall and am glad I wasn't in their sight. From the looks of the wall they got a little violent.

The Graveyard Hotel
I ran my fingers over the envelope and along the edges of the black seal that secured the contents inside. There was no stamp and no return address. No such letter was found in my mailbox or even tucked in between the front screen door. The letter seemingly appeared out of nowhere on my kitchen table.

Who Will Find Them
You would think that after such an eventful day , Jake would have slept straight through the night, but that wasn’t the case. Beth’s tear-streaked face and pleading eyes kept intruding on his rest. How could anyone be so cruel to a child and cause them that much pain? It was the question he kept replaying over and over in his mind. Jake knew it made no sense, but he felt responsible for this young girl whom he had only met briefly. She wasn’t his sister, or even some long-lost cousin, but the hug she had given him just before they parted formed a lasting bond in his heart.
