Beware The Night Novels & Stories

The moon hung low in the ink-black sky, casting an eerie glow over the desolate streets as Matt tread silently through the night. He was in rather high spirits that night. The date with Celeste had gone great. He was finally getting somewhere. Still, despite the giddiness that coursed through him, he was still on high alert for the rogue as well as the Schreiber family. They had been oddly silent. Usually when they decided something, they struck fast. The anticipation was putting him on edge. Matt moved through the narrow alleys, his senses heightened, and his eyes darting from shadow to shadow.

After midnight, the city tested the house the way a patient tests a healed scar. Dreams came to the cousins first. Chairs tilted. Bells rang in halls that had sworn not to. A woman who had survived three winters by washing other people’s grief out of shirts woke to find her hands folded as if in prayer. A boy sat up with a scream he forgave himself for before breath had finished apologizing. Silas, in his room, put a hand to his chest and admired the instrument he had tuned even as he refused to name it aloud: The Vigil of Keeps—a citywide sleep in which appetites could be sanctified without mess.
