The Wintervale Knight: Episode 74

Unsure of what to do next, Lionel remembered Esma Horlock’s words. “He wears the chains of the gray witch,” he said. Adam’s eyebrows raised in question then he said politely, “Well you look like you have a lot to work through. Really wish I could stay and watch you have a mental breakdown, but I need to get my stuff and catch the nearest bus out of here.” He took a step back away from Lionel…

Dragon Fire: Episode 189

With a heavy feeling in his stomach, Ethesius grabbed the wall as the smell of burning wood and smoke filled the air. “What did I just see?” he asked himself. Coughing from the thick smoke, Ethesius ran to the front door and pushed it open. When the morning light struck him in the face, he winced and raised his arm to shield his eyes. “Halt!” someone ordered. In a moment, his eyes adjusted to…

The Prophet of Starfall: Episode 121

Scratches in the Dark Daniel Church tried to calm himself. His knees shook and his muscles tensed. Slipping off his ball cap, he wiped his forehead before directing the beam of the flashlight back down to the open maintenance tunnel. A sudden splash in the water sent a shiver up his spine as he spun around towards the noise. He and Greg Summers were marooned on a small island four feet in…

Unsettled: Episode 103

Once again, Marquez rode with Oliver to the Monaghan estate. Gravel crunched under the tires as the truck left the road and headed up the natural stone driveway. “Dorothy Monaghan is on edge,” Oliver said, “so let me handle things. I don’t want her to cause any trouble for you.” Normally Marquez would rebel against a statement like that, but all she could think was, “He’s worried about…

The Wintervale Knight: Episode 73

After Lionel Hunter left Esma Horlock’s house, he headed for the precinct. Pulling up into the parking lot, he shut off the engine and leaned back against the seat. He wasn’t sure what to believe. A lot of strange and unusual things had happened recently. Valentina Whitlock was dead, another beheading, and there were no breakthroughs in the disappearance of Jason Huffman. Now he had to report to…

Dragon Fire: Episode 188

“What are you doing here?” Alidus asked Vanamir. “How are you alive?” “Aric, why is your chancellor addressing me in that tone?” Vanamir asked. “Has he forgotten his place?” Alidus was furious. Aric could feel the heat rising. As Alidus reached for the hood covering his head, he said, “I will have you know—.” But before he could remove the hood, Aric pulled a knife and threw it at…

The Prophet of Starfall: Episode 120

Three days had passed since the toxic meeting of Katherine, Detective Alex Finn, and Elza in the police station. Nathan pulled into a parking space and shut off his motorcycle just as Elizabeth came in for a landing. “I hope this is the last of it,” Elizabeth announced. “I know,” Nathan replied. “Everyone has been talking about the murder spree.” “Well,” Elizabeth said, “let’s get this…

Unsettled: Episode 102

It was just after seven as the city slowly began to wake. Marquez looked out the window, watching people hurrying to work and kids waiting for the school bus. One woman dressed in a tank top and lightweight running shorts jogged by, an enthusiastic Golden Retriever trotting alongside her. “Well,” Oliver said, sitting down at his desk. He slid a cup of hot coffee across to Marquez. “Thanks,” she…

The Wintervale Knight: Episode 72

Lionel Hunter sat at a table outside Otto’s bakery staring off into nowhere as his cup of coffee and apple fritter grew cold. “I blacked out,” he thought. “Woke up somewhere else. Came back, she was dead.” Sheriff Hector paid for his coffee then noticed Lionel at a nearby table. He walked over and when he saw Lionel’s furrowed brow, he asked, “Detective?” “It doesn’t make sense,” Lionel…

Dragon Fire: Episode 187

“Ethesius, wait!” Lorrien cried. Heartbroken and angry, Ethesius ran as hard and fast as he could. He did not care who was guilty or innocent. All he knew was that he had to get away before his anger drove him to use his newfound powers for something he would regret. Ethesius saw that he was fast approaching the protective wall that surrounded the city of Witherwell Falls, but he did not want…

The Prophet of Starfall: Episode 119

As Nathan slowly regained consciousness, the pulse in his temple pounded like a blacksmith’s hammer. He could hear Elizabeth calling him, but her voice sounded muffled, far away. He lay still and waited for the world to stop spinning. “Nathan?” Elizabeth’s voice called, beginning to clear. The vertigo slowly passed, and the pounding in his temple mellowed to a dull thud. Nathan opened his eyes…

Unsettled: Episode 101

Deputy Oliver stood outside the Hammond residence as Crime Scene worked inside the house, going over every detail. Marquez was standing off by herself talking on her phone. Just then the mayor’s car pulled up. “Great!” Oliver thought. “What’s he doing here?” Mayor Brenden Chance climbed out of his car, his face flush with anger, and stomped towards Oliver. It was tough not to laugh when Mayor…

The Wintervale Knight: Episode 71

When I first arrived in Blackrock, all I wanted was to find my best friend Belle and catch up. I hadn’t seen her since high school, but I knew she would help me decide where I wanted to go and what I wanted to do when I got there. I had spent years taking care of my grandmother, and when she passed, I felt empty. So I sold everything and bought a bus ticket. I figured I would run out of cash…

Dragon Fire: Episode 186

Aric’s heart pounded as he ran across the rooftops. As he leapt from one to another, his time spent as a city guard came back to him. “Why would they hate Alidus so much?” Aric thought. “Something is wrong.” He stopped at the edge of a roof and looked down. In the streets below, people cheered and tossed red powder into the air. “What is this?” Aric asked aloud. One young man, covered in red…

The Prophet of Starfall: Episode 118

As the last vision faded, Nathan felt a sharp pain in his right temple. He grabbed his head when the pain intensified. Then just as suddenly as it struck, the pain subsided and disappeared. A desk lamp clicked on, filling the room with light. Nathan looked up, straining slightly at the glare. Adam Armstrong sat at a desk, papers scattered across its surface, with a laptop open in front of him.…

Unsettled: Episode 100

It had been a long day. Oliver sat at his desk going over crime scene photos, witness testimonies and anything to do with Sheriff Pearson’s murder. Marquez, determined to see this case through to its end, had been falling asleep as Oliver worked, so he sent her to her hotel room to get some rest. She had promised she’d be back in a couple of hours. Oliver rested his eyes for just a moment. He…

The Wintervale Knight: Episode 70

Hector pulled into the parking lot of Sable Kiss right behind Jonah. “Are you certain about this?” Hector asked. “As sure as I can be,” Jonah said. Jonah dug into his jacket pocket and tossed Hector a pair of earplugs. “Put those in,” he insisted. “Be sure they’re all the way in. We can’t afford to hear anything Valentina has to say.” Turning to his car, he added, “Last thing you want is…
