“You. Without direction, you did not do well, did you? How did you lead?

Haziel, without breaking his gaze upon the vast room of convalescing, electrified souls, spoke swiftly to his mentor. “What shall be of these sinful creatures? Surely they will be cast aside for there is no repentance for this!” Chamuel was silent. Though unflinching, he felt troubled inside in regards to the entire situation. His greatest…

An array of multiple colors shot out from their suspended cocoons, connecting one to the next, back to front. Like white fire and lightning, with as many variations of vibrant color as a rainbow, their paralysis seized them with no escape remotely possible.

Savannah’s eyes welled up and hot tears blemished her pale face as she spoke, wavering. “Peter, it’s…

The hot summer sun was at its peak as it shone brightly through the dense leaves. The light cascaded down, creating a myriad of sunny slivers illuminating their path inside the woods.

When Peter and Savannah arrived, all were in attendance. Savannah felt it immediately: a presence of darkness. An enemy within grasp but out of sight. Peter sensed it too, and their gaze said it all.

On its bottom there was a sign, hand-written then laminated piss-poorly, with air bubbles and folds. The sign read, ‘Hear lies Peter Percy. From ashes to ashes and then…

Suddenly, they all cried out in one of many screams of terror as the pulling sensation became a feeling of dropping, with no parachute to soften the fall. They plummeted like dead weight and the portal turned black as night. The grip on each other loosened as they tumbled and turned, bodies bumping and bouncing…

The catacomb was without season. No high temperatures, prevailing winds, inches of snow or pools of rain. The sun didn’t shine. There was no night. Little vegetation, a constant cool environment and no animals or insects. It was truly an abandoned land, forsaken yet created for a purpose. Minutes passed like days. Days accumulated as…

When all the dust settled, and weapons flung to the earth, the boys stood arm in arm, looks of pure unadulterated satisfaction on their young faces.
