He choked me until my vision went foggy with deaths shadow, and released … Continue reading Ten Years Ago: Part Three
Ten Years Ago: Part Two
The clank-pang of the rickety metal staircase bothered me only slightly as much as the gun pointed at my back.

The scattered light played off their eyes … Continue reading Ten Years Ago: Part Two
Bad Nurse
“Are you sure? He’s going to get better?” Andy says leaning on his new cane. “Yes, the poison from the Consolida, or Larkspur, was the cause for all of the hubbub.” The doctor says, his hands on his hips and cocked head show a little too much relief.
