When I woke up, I was lying face down under the porch swing, again. My clothes were filthy with vomit, blood, piss and what looked like mud. The cloud laden sky shown blue and the gentle breeze prickled my forearms. I peeled myself off the floor, used the railing for support, and made my way … Continue reading Journal Entry: Benny
A bit of news: Cas
Hello kids, Cas here to let you know that the project is taking longer than expected. I really hate that they make me the bearer of bad news but as any bird has said on the Flintstones, fuck it. I paraphrase. The tigers got out and took over the playground the next park over, recruited … Continue reading A bit of news: Cas
Journal Entry: Steve
Its August 23 and I woke up today, made my bed and jumped into the shower the same way I do everyday. I was dressed before the sun came up.

Hey kids, Cas here with raging headache and a pitcher of Lemony Spiked to dull the pain. The boss and J-man are still out, but guess who I picked up from the airport.

Black and White: part 6
The commander throws me into the front seat of an O.R.B. vehicle, gets into the driver’s side and we promptly shoot up into the atmosphere. There is a moment of silence before he speaks, “What the fuck were you doing in there?” “I was… having a bad dream,” I slur. “You stupid fuck, tell me … Continue reading Black and White: part 6
