Happy New Year

However, I will start off the new year with what I hope is an accurate release schedule for the new year. Please keep in mind that this schedule is fluid, but for now… Lowe’s Point – Short Story web release –…

Epilogue - New
     The creature that Lizzie thought of as the shadow man or sometimes the tik-tok man remained at the edge of the clearing. The Nameless one had watched as the doorway that would bring forth its master had opened, and more troubling, had watched as it had been slammed shut. It had watched as decades of building, prying open, had finally been a success to see the fabric in space and time ripped…

Epilogue
Lizzie stood amongst the ashes of what was once the barn. The air was cool, but probably should have been colder. There was still a lot of heat from the still ground. The wood was all gone, quickly having burned away with nothing to stop it. It had burned unnaturally quick, some would say. The clearing around her was still filled with the remnants of the chaos from earlier, however much of the…

Chapter 60
Lizzie didn’t need to open her eyes to know that she was awake. Why? Because there was no way she could hurt this much if she was asleep or dead. Every single part of her ached to a degree that she wasn’t sure she could even move and there were parts of her that screamed raw like they were burning. Her head felt like a thousand hangovers all happening at once, the pounding of a million drums…

Chapter 59
The breath caught in Lizzies throat for a moment and then suddenly she was gasping for air that wasn’t coming to her. Around her was dark, then bright. A color explosion swirled around her, and she thought she was going blind. There was yelling that turned to screams. None of it she could make out. She barely felt herself getting pushed around, and then… There was nothing, and she found herself…

Chapter 58
She reached forward, expecting her hand to pass through the barrier and that she would be pulled to the other side just like before. Instead, her hand struck something cold, hard and smooth like a barrier of glass that kept her from crossing over. She didn’t get thrown back like Jessica, but there was something there, something solid that kept her from going back. She noticed that it wasn’t the…

Chapter 57
Lizzie couldn’t make sense of what it was she was seeing. It defied everything she knew about reality. At least, what reality was in relation to living things and biology. She couldn’t so much see what was attacking Chad as it looked like soil with long gray grass about a foot high rising out of it. That was, until Elisabeth reached out and tried to pull the thing from Chad’s cheek. That was…

Chapter 56
At first, Lizzie thought she was dead, though the pain in her feet kept her from giving into that belief. She wished she could say she was asleep. At least then, she could believe that all of this had been a nightmare. If it was, it was hell of a bad trip, and she sure as hell wished she didn’t remember any of this when she woke up. It was the arms that were wrapped around her that told her she…

Chapter 55
Her breath was ragged. Something was wrong and she didn’t feel right. It had nothing to do with the pains she felt throughout her body. Those were all external wounds and aches, but this was inside her. Something was burning. A pain was flaring up in her chest and she could feel it heating up from within her. She looked at her hand and saw she was still holding the talisman. Part of her wished…

Chapter 54
“Lizzie! This is your chance” Elizabeth yelled, breaking her out of the trance she was in watching the horror movie that had emerged in front of her. The one werewolf had leapt onto the vampire with the rest of the pack quickly swarming, joining into the fight. Though as she had watched, and as quickly as one werewolf would tear into the things flesh, it healed beneath it and the werewolf would…

Chapter 53
Something was pounding. At first, she thought it was a pounding inside her skull, warning bells ringing, telling her to get away, to run and get as far as she could. But the pounding wasn’t coming from her skull, it was from fists as they pounded at the front door, slamming so hard against the wood that the door shook in its frame. Lizzie couldn’t turn away. She barely noticed the noise that…

Chapter 52
Lizzie woke up feeling exhausted and sore. Part of her was still swimming in dreams, and part of her knew she was back in reality. She was in a cabin, she thought it was the bedroom she had thought of as her own since her time there. The room was dark, she could just as easily be in that other place. Was this the other cabin? Though, as she thought about her time in the other place, she didn’t…

Chapter 51
“You cannot be serious.” Sarah said, letting out an exasperated sigh. “Yep.” Lizzie said, looking at the steering wheel clutched in her hand. Her knuckles were white, and she was doing everything in her power to bite back tears. This was all her fault. They all knew it. “No, you can’t be. There’s no way this could be happening.” Sarah said, still obviously shocked in disbelief. “I don’t think…
