It was mine. I knew this because of the round sticker on the keyboard’s cover, of a robot—I think from the cover of an Issac Asimov novel—sitting on a cliff, watching a sky turning purple-orange at sunset. The sticker came in the mail with my subscription to Asimov’s Science Fiction Magazine. One of the many speculative magazines I’d consumed during college (along with Cemetery Dance and Twilight Zone Magazine) as I pounded out stories on that gray Texas Instruments 8010 electric word processor in my attempts to become a writer.

Now a once-whole blue planet floated with just particles of itself as it drifted across this dark, lifeless plain. In a different plane lied a primordial creature of the night finding solace in the eternal night that plagued his castle, the whistle and Chimes of fate had stirred his old blood awake. He knew that times were finally changing, and it seemed he had to get back to the game. "I wonder how Netherndel is faring, it's time I get back" his deep red eyes shone with a dangerous glint as he looked across the darkness, his eyes seemed to bypass the veil between planes for his gaze had a godly presence that came with it.

However, it was as if he were shooting at thin air, as not a single bullet came close to touching her. He waited, his pistol still in hand. His eyes flickered toward the alarm button on the wall, and he made a dash for it. But before he could reach it, his wrist was severed, blood spurting forth. Drenched in sweat, he attempted to cry out in pain, but his head was swiftly separated from his body, colliding with the wall.

The System had been keeping score across three generations and presenting the bill to whoever was currently occupying the Dreadmourne bloodline. He was the last one left to pay it. He set the number aside. Negative Karma was a problem for a version of him that had survived the next three days, and that version didn't exist yet. Third: what he knew. This was the inventory that mattered. He closed his eyes and went through it methodically, the way he had organized notes before examinations in a life that no longer existed. The novel was called The Ashford Chronicles. Seven volumes, the last two released eighteen months apart while the fandom grew increasingly anxious. He had read all seven twi

Stooping, he collected his shoes and stood, offering her a hand to rise. Once she was on her feet, Evelyn turned towards the door, but stopped when her eyes landed on the picture windows. Large snowflakes fell, drifting at wide intervals and glittering weakly in the city lights. Following her gaze, Andrew huffed a laugh. “Snowfall in October. I can’t remember the last time that happened,” he whispered, then turned towards her. “It never fails. The most extraordinary things are constantly transpiring around you.” The irony wasn’t lost upon her. With a deep sigh, she replied, “I think we could both do with a lot more ordinary. Our present life composition has come to feel like the weight upon

“I can get you there fast.” “You shouldn’t go,” I tell him slowly, hating that I’m saying it. “Or at least not to my house.” Resting my head in my hand, I let my eyes fall shut. It’s nearing ten thirty and in theory, we could get to Thorne Hill before midnight. If we hit traffic, that will be a different story. “I’ll be there,” I tell Kristy. “Alone.” * “The Grand Coven can’t get mad that you’re here.” I open the door to Novel Grounds and turn on the light. “Vampires have as much right to live in this town as the non. There are two vampires who live downtown somewhere already.”

“I am an old fellow, I won't look my eyes out; but I'1l call everybody this minute, let others stare at you.” “I'11 come down!” cried Basira. With that, Zastar turned toward the side of the house. “As God lives, somebody is coming!” said he. In fact, from behind the corner appeared young Adam Novoveski, who, coming on horseback, had tied his beast at the side-gate and passed around the house himself, wishing to enter through the main door. Basira, seeing him, was on the ground in two springs, but too late. Unfortunately, Sir Adam had seen her springing from the ladder, and stood confused, astonished, and covered with blushes like a young girl. Basira stood before him in the same way, till a

Dante doesn't want to leave me and a part of me wants him to stay. It is almost sunrise and I can't sleep after my brush with death. On the side table next to the bed are little appetizers and candies, my favorite sweets. Cow livers. I stick a fork in them and suck the blood out, slowly turning them grey, but their blood is nothing close to Ray's. Nothing compares to Ray.
