Truth’s immediate thought was to smash up the room. If the ritual space was destroyed, then there could be no ritual, and no danger from the ritual. This thought was followed almost immediately by the thought of what two Tier Eights (or possibly...
2024-07-08 16:00:10 +0000 UTC View PostThe room Harmony was in looked like it was cut out of a roadside motel and dropped straight into the base. Not some mom and pop operation. A big, national chain, where all the furniture was standardized and had to be bought from the head company. ...
2024-07-05 16:00:17 +0000 UTC View PostTruth’s hand slammed backwards before the door could close. Incisive was being very insistent. The more the door closed, the more danger he was in. Which was a hell of a take about an empty, concrete stairwell. The stairs were even designed to b...
2024-07-04 16:00:12 +0000 UTC View PostThe sky was as blue as it ever was. But it wasn’t. The sky was clear as night, filled with a billion billion billion stars. But it wasn’t. The sky was red, the color of cold flames and hot blood, filled with screaming ghosts and raging demons....
2024-07-03 16:00:19 +0000 UTC View PostThe rock was not cooperative. In addition to being invisible, it kept trying to slip out of his memory. As a result, he found himself struggling to keep his balance. Truth could have balanced on a razor’s edge, balanced on another razor’s edge...

2024-07-01 16:00:21 +0000 UTC View PostTruth slowly opened his eyes. He was staring at the smudged interior of the luggage compartment. The packs weren’t very comfortable. How strange. When he crawled in here before, it was like falling asleep on angel feathers and lullabies. Could i...

Truth clarified. He kicked off the rock, moving so fast he wasn’t even a blur to the people around him. The Tongue of One Who Speaks For God whipped off his shoulder, up, then down again, aiming ...
2024-06-25 15:55:49 +0000 UTC View PostThe angel was pissed off. Truth understood that. Respected that, even. He had been called in to do a job, wasn’t able to do the job, and now he was pinned under rubble next to one of God’s little whoopsies. Also known as a human. Truth interna...
2024-06-24 16:00:15 +0000 UTC View PostTruth fell over. He had only stepped about a centimeter, and crossed thirty meters in the process. Straight up. Through the ceiling. Which, unfortunately, put him half a meter above the floor. Which floor, he didn’t know. The way the sealed conc...
2024-06-21 16:00:13 +0000 UTC View PostTruth kept moving deeper into the room, eyes darting. Large plastic bins with little wheels underneath, filled with bed linens. Should be the laundry. Usually that was a job for big talisman machines, but he wasn’t seeing them. Did they send the...

2024-06-20 15:43:03 +0000 UTC View PostTruth tried to think quickly. He could more or less guess where the old doctor’s hate was coming from. He would hate him too, if the situation was reversed. “I was in a bodybag on the way in. Would your hatred extend to giving me directions ou...
2024-06-19 17:33:16 +0000 UTC View PostWoke up to my dog eating something he shouldn't. One round of induced vomiting later, and we are off to the vet. I'm still expecting to get the chapter up today. Sorry for the inconvenience.

2024-06-15 14:53:58 +0000 UTC View PostThe morgue was not nearly as quiet as Truth had hoped. He had never stuck around the bodies he made. He had certainly never paid attention to the noises they made once they were dead. It wasn’t so much that it was creepy. It was that it was ...

2024-06-11 16:00:14 +0000 UTC View PostThere had been too much horror. Too much suffering. The inevitable crushing down on him as it did on everyone else. It was just that Truth had the means to do something about it. Just a little bit. Just in this one place, at this one moment. In a ...
2024-06-10 16:00:17 +0000 UTC View PostTruth crawled out of the sewers. It wasn’t easy. The manhole he had come down through had partially collapsed in on itself. It was, in his inexpert opinion, a minor miracle that the sewer itself hadn’t caved in. Theoretically, he could use Ear...
2024-06-07 16:00:13 +0000 UTC View PostIt was a sound he had never heard before. Heartbreak, outrage, and the sound of tearing stone. Of shattered glass and shattered people. It went on and on, how long he couldn’t say because he was still lost in the horror of the sound long after i...
