Angelic Wars

Nobody expected retaliation; and certainly not of this scale. And yet, how could it be otherwise? They all witnessed the events. But none of them did anything. They all thought someone else would intervene, that it wasn’t their problem.  They could all still hear those two words “Save Me” resounding in their heads, her plea…

A Promise Kept

Dominic bowed his head to hide his face.
 In this neighbourhood it was best not to be noticed especially for someone like him. They would trash, kick and kill him if they found him out. But he had no choice. Death wasn’t the worst option here. Walking with confidence but without bravado, he made his…

Disappointing Victory

The neon glow enveloped the city built by and for corporations. From the penthouse he staid in, he smiled. In the end, he would win. He didn’t even have to try that hard. He merely had to spread crumbs here and there; they had done the rest. He laughed; they called him the Tempter but…

Devastation

She looked over the city from her window; it spread for miles and she could see it all. Some would think her lucky to have such a view, but she could only summon a contemptuous sneer. The city was lost and nothing she could do would change that truth. She had given its inhabitants all…

Novice Mistake

Amber light streamed down from the arched windows, splattering the altar and their upturned faces. The joy in their gaze was one of rapture, as if the radiance they were looking at were divine. And it was in more ways than one. Only men, even the most faithful, weren’t meant to gaze upon the divine…

Wordle #132/Vanish ~ The Longest Road

The evening Ms. Lilian Evergreen was introduced in society remained the most significant event of the decade until her sudden disappearance. That of course took precedence for nobody ever knew for certain what happened to her. Her body was never found; there was no trace of her to be discovered anywhere in the country. She…

Sacred ~ In Love and Light

He looked down upon her, his own mind sundered, as he voluntarily broke her heart. She must believe him evil; how else would she embrace the Fall? But it hurt him; for all these millennia he’d never expected anyone to actually love him. Among his brethren? It was more likely God would forgive him before…

Careful ~ Falling Angels

Laylah walked through the streets, stopping by every so often to speak with some of the homeless people who’d taken up residence in the neighbourhood. The truth was that she let them speak to her: it gave them some power. Thus she sometimes merely gave food, to others she gave time and yet others she…

Argument ~ Revelation

It all started with an argument: a stupid one really. Jason wanted to eat pizza; she didn’t. She wanted to go home: she was tired. And she had some tests tomorrow that she couldn’t afford flunking. But the night had only just started; she couldn’t want to go back to her parents’ place now. Did…

Deprive ~ Reaping

She stands immobile in the shadows. Some might say she lurks: so be it. She doesn’t mind the term. Let them think she does. They believe she is some kind of vampire who thrives in the darkness. She is no vampire: they’re demons of the worst sort. And darkness is only a state of mind,…

Un/Faithful ~ Corrupted

In response to the Daily Post writing prompt Un/Faithful “Forgive me Father for I have sinned. It has been six days since my last confession.” He cast a quick glance through the thin partition of the confessional because of the teary tone: Eleanor. She’d cried; she still was. But she knelt in the perfect penitent…

Name ~ Life Defined

  In response to Linda G Hill’s stream of consciousness prompt Name “Miss, Miss are you ok?” She opened her eyes. And blacked out. When she opened her eyes again, she was in an unknown place. But she was in a bed comfortably settled. A man in a white jacket sat there by her side,…
