Dear readers, again I must apologize to you. I work a difficult job that sometimes smashes into my weekend and when I planned to finalize the narration videos for 11 and 12, work called. So, I plan on finishing both tomorrow, Monday once this proposal for work is finished (out of my hands Tuesday). But… Continue reading Episode Twelve
(Hi readers. Apologies on the lack of a video today. I will endeavor to get it up ASAP. My intention has been not to let this story, or any writing, impact my mental health negatively.

https://youtu.be/nVhkFIDwbuA I grab Mateo by the arm and haul him into the house through one of the broken windows, praying the four newcomers haven’t noticed us yet.

https://youtu.be/wA9m2GSxaJs Mateo and I stand at the edge of the Shells on the roof of a dilapidated apartment complex. The ruins of Houston’s university stretch before us.

It takes their ideals and their principles and weaves them a very fine noose. Terrence Lilac, Report on Affect Hues: Bronze Part Two: Dead Cape Domino Five days after Danger Close’s death, Bedevil rides in a luxury SUV… Continue reading Episode Seven
https://youtu.be/N0O7UuEUSYk A storm sewer isn’t an ideal place for a meal. Given the circumstances, it’ll have to do. We’re not far from one of my usual haunts, but I didn’t want to drag Mateo there in case we get followed again. My plan now is to see who else might chase us, or if we’re… Continue reading Episode Six
https://youtu.be/kEpvPXBCoZM Thump, thump, thump. Heavy metal boots march on the chapel roof. I stare in horror at the ceiling, waiting for the guillotine blade to fall. “How do you think he found us so quickly?” Megajoule asks. “I don’t know,” I mutter.

https://youtu.be/8Pzoj2riLBQ Two hours ago, I slipped into the Marskin warehouse expecting to find a gang of a dozen welterweight punks.
