Doing my best not to let his blood trickle on the floorboards—yet failing miserably—I look over the shoulder of a grinning Meeko as the sun coming through the window shimmers around the outline of her body.

“When will you let me take it?” I ask. Placing her feet on the ground, she lets out a muted yawn before wiggling her toes. Looking at them the same as she does, they remind me of juicy little piggies getting ready to go to market. “Not now, if that’s what you’re implying. You’ll have Read more

All those freaks. Those fucked up losers trying to cling to things that aren’t even there. Lost and weak. Heads full of stupid ideas. Hearts full of love with nowhere to go. Always fearful. Always regretting what can’t be undone. So many mistakes. So many wrong turns. But where’s the fun in fitting in? Where’s Read more
