Volume 1 Publishing Announcement (and Other Updates!)

First off, sorry for the recent silence. Life’s been a bit hectic between some personal-life stuff and my main job. On top of that, we’re nearing the end of Volume 3, and I’ve been taking my ...

Chapter 137 - Doll House

The inside of the manor was just as gothic and lifeless as the outside. The front door opened into a grand room overlooked by a second-floor balcony. Faded banners hung in tatters from the railing,...

Chapter 136 - Rideshare

Hilda never found Morrigan particularly intimidating, even knowing what she was. The white skin and glowing red eyes felt more like quirks than threats, and in every other way, Morrigan was just a ...

Chapter 135 - Magic Shop

Down a lonely street, with little more than the occasional abandoned farm or trailer, or a side road marked with a faded “Private Property” sign—an orange Jeep rumbled along, blasting heavy m...

Chapter 134 - Changing

As Morrigan slipped through the staff area, she passed an orderly whistling and spinning a keychain around his finger. For a moment, she thought he was staring at her, but he kept going as if he ha...

Emma's window opened onto a lower roof, with a tree right alongside it to serve as a convenient escape route. Getting down just required stepping onto one sturdy branch that Emma pointed out, and t...

Morrigan directed Evelyn to Emma’s house, and soon they were pulling into the end of the driveway where two other cars were already parked.

“Okay, as promised, here you are,” Evelyn sai...

Chapter 128 - Co-Worker 2

“Hey there, rookie. A little late, are we?”

Morrigan gulped, her eyes fixed on the reaper as he approached. He didn’t carry the calm, almost serene demeanor of Lawrence—the reaper she...

Chapter 127 - Scythe to Meet You

School supply shopping was a little less interesting, and Evelyne seemed to try to get more involved, probably upon realizing left to her own devices, Morrigan might not actually grab anything.

Chapter 126 - Proper Young Lady

Evelyn set a plate down in front of Morrigan with bacon, eggs, toast, and a small bowl of fruit. Morrigan stared at the meal. A home-cooked meal. Her mom rarely made anything, usually simple stuff ...

Morrigan could have just stayed in bed all morning. She’d gone to sleep fairly early, with only a few uncomfortable dreams breaking an otherwise sound night’s rest.

One dream, though, lin...

Chapter 124 - Worst Mascot Ever

Morrigan lay sprawled out on her new bed with her phone held above her face as it put a soft glow on her face in the dark room. She flicked her thumb across the screen to open a group chat with Emm...

Due to an ice storm I was without power for two days earlier this week, and my Internet provider has an ongoing outage. Unfortunately, since I write locally on my desktop computer, posting these ch...

Morrigan found Pepper in the living room and pulled her aside. Without a word, Pepper followed her upstairs, her eyes wide, already bracing for what was coming.

Once inside the bedroom, Morri...

Chapter 121 - Sixteen Years Late

The rest of the day passed slowly, her confinement settling in like a thick blanket. She drifted in and out of sleep with a restless mind. The shelter was alive beyond her door—muffled voices, di...

Chapter 120 - No Rest For the Morrigan

Morrigan slumped in the chair, her eyes heavy with exhaustion. She just wanted this to be over.
