I know, I know…you figured it would be a few weeks before I got back to this. I can’t say I blame you. Though, truth be told, I’d rather have dropped a one-shot in as buffer first before doing another chapter of “The Gathering Storm.” But I’m in the zone, so I’ll run with it. […]

[ – To view a list of all current chapters, click here – ] It was an alien feeling for Solstice alone in the skeez lab. It wasn’t her first time in such an environment, but usually when she was in a place like this, it was to kick ass, leave soon thereafter and call […]

Quick Recap (since it’s been a while since I’ve posted a new chapter in this series): Thus far in the series, a supervillain named Janus has moved his operations from the West Coast to the East Coast, with designs on the Connecticut city of New Judah primarily, it seems.

[ – To view a list of all current chapters, click here – ] Darkness is a comforting shroud. A sturdy cloak. Those thoughts passed through the mind of Query, sitting in the semi-darkness of the club as Milo Phillips, while various pairs of rappers took their turns on stage to do a bit of […]

[ – To view a list of all current chapters, click here – ] Entering Janus’ office, she moved with slow, purposeful steps, like a ballet dancer building up toward some grand maneuver—then she abruptly stopped 12 feet away from the imposing mahogany desk, where Janus sat and Underworld and Crazy Jane stood nearby. Standing […]

[ – To view a list of all current chapters, click here – ] Janus gave Underworld a lingering eye-to-eye look over the edge of the files he was perusing and through the eyeholes of his half-comedy/half-tragedy mask.
