    Hub A Potion for Every Occasion

    He'd been hoping the short one would be in and out quickly enough, but his shopping spree was seemingly endless. Carradine had to wonder how the half-pint planned to haul his wares out of the door, shy of strapping them to his bald head. Alas, fate was not on his side, and of that, he should...

    Open Silence beneath

    Carradine had seen his share of ominous shit. Hell, he’d authored a fair bit of it. But none of it settled over him quite like the weighted dread that gripped him now, as he caught sight of the figures the bizarre child placed on the table. Child... no. This wasn’t some wayward brat touched in...

    Private Eating My Wings

    "How carelessly they dilute the tale. I'm wounded, really." Her eyes could search and search for the familiar glint she knew so well, but she would find no match among the throng enchanted by the childish theatrics on display.

    Dare Homecoming

    There would be no return without hurdles. The road home was a graveyard of broken intentions. He hadn’t expected smooth passage, only to bleed slower on the way. The panicked shout of the driver cut through the steady drum of rain on canvas. The wagon lurched sideways, skidding in the mud...

    Hub A Potion for Every Occasion

    The Serpent's Still A damned appropriate name, considering how far into the snake's nest Carradine had come. With each step he took further into Crown's Hold, he could feel the intangible coils wrap around his ankles, the familiar sounds of shackles ringing in his ears with every move he made...

    Dare Homecoming

    It wasn't much different than being in a cell, was it? To pass the time, he'd counted the similarities. The smell of mold, cramped and unwashed bodies, with rotting wood surrounding him on all sides. The damp sensation against his backside as the splintered bench dug at his flesh through the...

    Carradine

    To my dearest Blackbird. These will be my last words to you. This is not the outcome I wished for either of us, that I promise you. For so many years your wings have lifted me up, carried me to heights I'd never dared dream. In the warmth of your arms, I found beauty beyond these stone walls...
