Gothic Tales 2
They were gone. At first they were swaying from left to right at reckless speeds. Then they swayed left, towards the buildings, and were gone. The only thing that remained, the thing that proved that they were indeed there in the first place, was the laughter that hung in the air, soft and sultry, fadingContinue reading “Gothic Tales 2”
Gothic Tales 1
They came rolling out of a nightclub, six of them, laughing and carousing in a drunken heap of pointless celebration, just to be out and done with the week’s college studies. The avenue was nearly empty of people at that late hour, and they were proud to have closed yet another bar, on another Friday,Continue reading “Gothic Tales 1”
TZA-The Beginning 8
Jaqui asked “What did he do next?” “Well”, said Mitch, “he whipped us all into shape and the rest is history.” This didn’t sit right with the kids.

Aaron 3
When Aaron was eight years old, a voice came to him, and it said, “Remember.” Now that he was older and had a much better grip on language, he was able to ask, “Remember what?” And the voice said, “Remember.” Aaron, being the young and impetuous kid that he would be at that age, askedContinue reading “Aaron 3”
The Outing pt final
