Growing Pains and Endorphins
(Misha Tulley)
Misha felt alive after her most recent reaping. The power gained from resetting a Tier II to nothing was euphoric to say the least. Endorphins and enzymes never meant to exist in the circulatory system were activated and rel...

Frank was dreaming, he knew that. This time there was no darkness surrounding him that he needed to draw away. Instead, he once again found himself in the same dark obsidian hallway lit by torches on both sides of the hallway.
Just like the last time, there were two guards ...

Within two hours of leaving no less than three drones had direct feeds and were mounted and following Frank as he made his way down Death Row. Their green lights showed that they were clearly filming Frank’s escape in infrared. This was the color that Frank was the most accusto...

Feelings At Home
“And just where have you been?” Mallory asks, like some extremely angry mother who has caught their kids out after curfew. Well, caught in this case means awoken to the pounding of cops on the door, basically demanding to know “is this your child...

If anyone wanted to know exactly what Frank was thinking while making his way up to the summit, where he overlooked the valley of death below, his thoughts would be simple. He would rather jump to his possible death below than ride in a helicopter again.

Fwoop-fwoop-fwoop.

Death was running rampant, pulling out the green light energy of the doctor, and slowly destroying and corrupting it from within. The once fully healthy doctor began to age and wither before Frank’s eyes.

Thick and unrelenting, yet, there was something deeper in the darkness. That is of course if Frank was brave enough to find his way out of the darkness.
The Darkness clung to him, like a thick wet blanket that seemed to almost suffocate if you held ...
