For want of a fuse
For want of a fuse, a circuit was lost.
For want of the circuit, containment was lost.
For want of containment, a worker was lost.
When they touched the worker, the lab was lost.
When it spread from the lab, the city was lost.
To save the city, the soldiers were lost.
Because of the soldiers, we all were lost.
And all for the want of a junction-box fuse.

We walked a hundred miles To fight five million vampires. The old man wouldn’t leave one of us out there. Just two of us left. Shit.
This is turning into one of those days. God is dead, huh? I was just starting to like that guy. The manager is down for the count. Rest in peace, old man.
The whole damn city is on fire. Good thing...

The Rime of the Ghoulish Revenant
(With sincere apologies to Samuel Taylor Coleridge)
Part I
A ghoulish Revenant meeteth three Gallants bidden to a wedding-feast, and detaineth one.
It is a ghoulish Revenant, And he seizeth one of three. `By thy grey skin and fogg’d eye, Now wherefore seize’st thou me?
The Bridegroom’s doors are opened wide, And I am next of kin ; The guests are met, the feast is...

As she sleeps I lie awake thoughts whirling fear spinning she will never know the peace that she brings me just by being beside me at rest and silent.
Her curves against the covers smooth and rounded and alluring as familiar as the darkness behind my eyelids when they close knowing that she’ll be there to protect me never leaving.
Her action smooth and deadly her voice powerful and roaring...
