Alex led the way, the twenty-two people we’d rescued following close on his heels as we pushed south toward the center of the city, away from the coast and the oncoming horde of lobster-th...
2025-07-31 22:43:08 +0000 UTC View PostAlex's plan involved sitting tight and waiting, so that we could get more information about our latest set of enemies. I was fine with that, provided we stepped in before anything truly awfu...
2025-07-31 01:56:17 +0000 UTC View PostMy hands and arms were sore, but Cliff the triceratops was worse off by a long shot. A few bits of fossilized bone had snapped off when I tossed him down against the pavement, and cracks spi...
2025-07-30 01:03:54 +0000 UTC View PostNo shit, there I was, an undead triceratops bearing down on me, and all I could think about was ‘Jurassic World, eat your heart out!’ I mean, sure, those movies had awesome animatronic d...
2025-07-29 01:49:47 +0000 UTC View PostI’m not sure what I was expecting to find when we went outside, but it for sure wasn’t empty streets.
That’s what we saw, though.
The wind blew through the street, stirring...
2025-07-25 21:24:44 +0000 UTC View PostSorry, folks! Thought this got uploaded last night, but it didn't. So, two chapters today to catch up! -Kevin
We reached my apartment without any issues. There’d b...
2025-07-25 21:24:18 +0000 UTC View PostI gotta say, the applause felt really good. It was more than nice. It was like validation for all the shit I’d gone through since this whole mess started. Holy crap, was that real...
2025-07-24 01:13:09 +0000 UTC View PostThe drop wasn’t far. It was a straight fall for about six feet or so, into a pile of sand. I slipped some, but my Agility boost kept me on my feet. Alex landed beside me a moment later, an...
2025-07-22 21:48:07 +0000 UTC View PostWe ran into a few more ants as we descended the steps past one floor after another. I stabbed each with my spear as we came across them, taking them out. Alex was two steps behind me, tappin...
2025-07-22 00:32:23 +0000 UTC View PostIt was full dark by the time the fires burned down, and Tom said he didn’t want us to have to risk crossing the street to get to my apartment building. Personally, I thought he was trying ...
2025-07-18 21:43:02 +0000 UTC View PostThe goblins were still building their fort. They spotted us; I felt sure of that. But they didn’t advance toward us, so I let them be, too. There was no sense borrowing trouble. I was conf...
2025-07-17 21:03:15 +0000 UTC View PostWe didn't chat much as we made our way back through the train tunnel. I didn't have much to say, and I guess Alex was keeping his thoughts to himself, too. Nothing attacked us, although I wa...
2025-07-17 01:05:00 +0000 UTC View PostThe flames raced forward, eating away at the webs as they rushed up each strand and fiber. The webbing filled the entire stairway all the way to the ceiling, so for the most part the flames ...
2025-07-15 22:37:57 +0000 UTC View PostCool news on the publishing front! The ink is still drying on the contract, but I've signed a three-book publishing deal with Aethon Books for the "Accidental Necromancer" series!

2025-07-14 22:27:14 +0000 UTC View PostThere was something up on the platform. Something big, or bigger than the ratkin, anyway. It rose from a pool of shadow near the wall, strutting closer to the light, and I got my first good ...
2025-07-11 20:38:09 +0000 UTC View PostI made excellent time as I pressed on. Between all the boosts those crystals had given me, I was in amazing athletic shape now, and I used all of that to move quickly past the train...
2025-07-10 21:51:37 +0000 UTC View PostFirst I set my backpack down on the tracks in front of me. I sipped some more water, draining the rest of my first bottle, and put it away. Then I fished in all my pockets, emptying them of ...
2025-07-09 23:19:15 +0000 UTC View PostStill feeling strangely flushed after the double increase, I got back to my feet and looked down at the three dead human bodies. I didn’t want to look. Didn’t want to see if one...

2025-07-08 01:10:27 +0000 UTC View PostThere were two concierge staff in the lobby, helping usher the kids through the doors, and four more adults. All six of them were armed with some sort of makeshift weapon, either a baseball ...
2025-07-05 02:40:26 +0000 UTC View PostI couldn’t help but feel an enormous weight leave my shoulders. We were back in an area of relative safety, with other adults who could help me get these kids home. There were still more u...
2025-07-03 21:10:57 +0000 UTC View PostI raced down the tracks, quickly catching up with my charges. I wasn’t even tired, another sign that the Stamina boost from those stones was really working. Manuel was way out ahead of the...
2025-07-03 01:39:37 +0000 UTC View PostWe pushed ahead through the rail tunnel and must have hit a bit of luck, because no more monsters popped up trying to kill us. I had a little hope that whatever we’d run into down there wa...
2025-07-02 02:12:25 +0000 UTC View PostThe ethics of whether or not I should hand strange objects to children turned out to be the least of my worries. Now I had eleven kids who all wanted to become the superhero or wizard. Since...
2025-06-30 20:49:09 +0000 UTC View PostThere were more of them this time, way more. They rushed in too fast for me to count them easily. One scuttled along the wall, trying to get past me to the kids, so I swiped at it, using my ...
2025-06-28 00:56:36 +0000 UTC View PostWe’d barely made it twenty feet before I heard scuttling sounds from somewhere up ahead. By that time, I knew those sounds. I’d heard them a few times. Three giant bugs came around the c...
2025-06-26 21:44:39 +0000 UTC View PostThe crack was a tight squeeze for me, but thankfully the passage on the other side was a bit bigger than the entry. I was able to stand up inside, and while the ceiling wasn’t that much ab...
2025-06-25 20:14:51 +0000 UTC View PostThe flare went out about five minutes after we got moving. As it started to gutter, I grabbed one of the glow sticks from my bag, cracked it, and tied it to the end of my spear with some of ...
