We met in Rome.
Let me be more specific. We met in Rome this year. Last year we met in Venice. She always wanted to see Venice. By she, I mean my wife. Ex-wife? Former wife? Wife from a former life? It's hard to explain. Technically speaking, I'm dead. She's alive. We've just celebrated our Cancerversary. It's an awful word, I know. But when you find a loophole connecting eternity to "the world", you call it what it is and go with it. I think next year I'll take her to Iceland. We never got to see the Northern Lights.

The Perfect Wife
I always loved crime shows. Criminal Minds. Dexter. The Equalizer. Older stuff like Columbo, Perry Mason, Quincy. Every night after the kids were in bed I turned on the TV and settled in for the evening. Trecia always sat with me. She never failed to know who done it and know what clues would point to the murderer. It seemed like normal fun. We were married for 16 normal years. Suddenly we weren't normal. Suddenly we weren't married. She was dead. Thank God.

The Hieroglyph's Whisper
Chapter 1: Whispers in the Hall of Echoes The oppressive desert sun beat down on the sprawling city of Memphis, baking the clay bricks and turning the sands the color of sunbaked ochre. Inside the grand Hall of Echoes, however, a cool stillness reigned. Here, amidst towering shelves crammed with papyrus scrolls, Ren, a young apprentice decipherer, squinted at a fragment of ancient stone.
