Miracle Court

Time to start testing.

Probably the most unreassuring sentence Zenith had ever heard come out of someone?s mouth. He fought a cringe, merely nodding as Maverick left the room, d...

Normal really wasn?t something that they were used to.
Nor was it something that they had ever really aimed for.
But right now it was something that he would kill to have.
He did not want to have to fear or be overly emotional.
He wanted his life to rewind about three years and set to repeat.
Only put Aly and Shadow in the mix somehow.
And rid of the woman he did no...

"Fight for him?” Zenith laughed dryly, shaking his head, “I did everything possible to try and get him back.” He frowned, “It’s a complica...

As much as an illness can explain some behavior, it wasn’t like Zenith was overtaken by someone else either. Some of the things he said were just things that truly had crossed his mind at some point, even during his more stable time.
Self laothing…true, but no less difficult to hear.
The words made Shadow cringe, feeling most of his irritation morph into a strange sensa...

There it was.
So close.
Each and every step felt like a new begging, so much closer to the manor. To Aly. He was tempted to in some way look cheerful, but for some reason wasn’t able to have enough time to, Shadow unable to get into the place, offering another alternative.
Which sounded fine to Zenith, anything would be fine to him as long as they got in there. That was...

A new start?
Let's not get carried away.

When Shadow met Zenith, sparks were flying..and not in the romantic sense.
Everything in between these two went awry, hatred quickly gaining place...or was it really as bad as hatred?
Aly. It was all her. ...

There was something very calming about nothingness, the heavy black blanket of sleep that coated his eyes, ears muted, sucking the world into an abyss full of eerie silences. No more stress, no more pain, just quiet. Just him and his disfunctioning brain.
He wondered if that was what death was like.
To be caught in a vortex of-
Nothing.
Somewhere deep down he knew he was s...

The next morning Shadow woke to the ordinary sound of distant arguing between a hoard of drunken men. Just another day down here in the Court. Rubbing a sleepy set of eyes, he managed to pull himself out of bed to go and clean himself up. After all, he had a big day ahead of himself.

After a good warm shower, some decent dark grey cargo and a black cotton turtle neck, he slipped on his ...

The third day (Meeting with Shadow)
I haven't a clue of what to say, what to think.. I simply do not know where I stand right now or what it is I am trying to accomplish with all of this. What will it all matter at the end of my life? Will it even? Really, I should just leave, end this all now while ...

As lovely as it would be to say at sunrise on the second day, it's not exactly a possibility here, there are no sunrise. So, during quiet hours of the market on the second day, the time where the few free willed children are granted the right to live outside the shelter of their modest residence, Alyssa undertook the way which separated her home from his. It was surprising, but somehow, a little ...

The next week.

Today I meet Shadow again. And this time I'm going to be sure that everything goes perfectly. I will not show up early. I will be on time. If he's not there the moment I arrive, I will leave. I must learn how to avoid temptation, even if it means avoiding Alyssa completely for a little while. It is...

After a long three day wait.
It has been a very long time since I have thought of someone in a way that wasn't annoyed or angered. Friends have a way of eluding me. Some how, though, a few days ago, I met someone. I wouldn't even hardly call it meeting, rather an exchange of hand, a simple, tense hello. But even...

Four Months Earlier...

There's something about the way I live these days that could make your skin crawl, that would make you wonder why your living the way you are right now when there's so much hell happening somewhere else. There's something odd about how one place can be so wonderful while a...

[Warning:]Story may contain some shocking content.

In the darkness there lays a secret, sunken in the depths of hell.
The world of the wicked, the land of the greedy, sinners rejoice in their new found wealth.
Here is a game so little played, won only if lives are lost.
