Veiled
Chapter 1 “So, this is Stonewalk College,” Amanda muttered to herself. Her classmates at Dent County High School had been sick with envy when she had been the only student accepted at the nearby campus. Looking around, she was reminded that she was no longer in high school. A black canvas backpack slung over one shoulder, an army duffle bag hanging from the other, the nineteen-year-old freshman stared at the admissions building.

Dialogue with Um-Nusu
“For the purpose of this interview, I will address you as Anunnaki.” "That would be the same as me calling you human. Doing so would not appreciate your individuality. Even as I called you human in my example, I could sense a change in your emotion.”

Davina
I ran fast and I ran far. It was extremely cold out. My hands were stinging and my face numb. I didn’t feel the tree limb when I hit it. I saw blood on my hands and that’s how I knew the tree limb did damage. I looked into the screen on my MP3 player and saw the gash on my right cheek. I decided that I had gotten far enough away from the place I used to call home and I knew that it was time for me to rest. I needed to get some sleep so I curled up in a ball under the tree that I had run into and I went to sleep.

The Curse of Torn Lovers
The waves beat calmly against the shore, foam landing on the darkened sand. Shaye leaned against her head against her knees, watching the waves as she listened to Ashton spin his tale to the other travelers. He told the ancient tale of the sun and moon, the first star-crossed lovers by the light of the campfire.

The Echoes of Silence
John hurried over to the small shape that glinted with promise in the sunlight. It was a heart-shaped locket that had fallen from the hand of the corpse beside it. John picked the locket up and prised it open. Inside were the photos of two young boys. John felt tears fall unchecked onto his grubby cheeks. He looked among the strewn corpses but could not tell if any of them were the two young boys. He placed the locket back into the skeletal hand of the corpse.

Before After
It was dark inside the tank. Anita closed her eyes and opened them again quickly, hoping for a glint of light, but there was nothing. Just the dark. She pressed the heels of her hands into her eye sockets, waiting for the silver foetus to appear. When she digs deep enough she can always find it. Sometimes there are two joined together, like Siamese twins.
