  Nobody and The Order (1)

  The Nobody   “Come out with your hands up,” came the call from the bull horn. Officers Jackson and Turner, Sergeant Swanson and Captain Quigley had not expected their day to end like this. Work had started as it normally did. Morning muster with the captain, new BOLOs and wanted persons to be aware of. Easy day. When […]

  Fuck Authority (But Use Protection)

  “I want you to summarize the situation as succinctly as you can,” said Mayor Peterson. Police Chief Cook swallowed hard. This was the part of the job he hated. Working the freak beat was one thing, but briefing your boss on it while trying not to sound like a crazy person was just the worst. […]

  Revenge is Love

  

  Jensen’s burly hand pulled Evan back into the alley. “They almost noticed you,” he said in a harsh whisper. “They didn’t. I was being careful,” said Evan. “The cautious man has nine lives,” said Jensen. “Like a cat?” Evan asked. Jensen nodded. “So what you’re saying is they’re pussies.” Jensen smacked Evan upside the head. “I swear, […]

  Insomania

  Previous Entry here. An ongoing continuation of continuations.   “I can’t sleep,” said Evan. “Why not?” asked James. “Because I think you’re friend up there is eating through the ropes again,” said Evan. James unplugged his stun gun from the wall socket and shot the Zilorean Death Worm, knocking it out. It had taken over […]

  Bodily Entrance

  Previous Entry here. A continuation of a continuation. Evan landed in a pile of filth. He picked himself up and jumped back up the stone stairs that led to the alley where his friends and teammates were fighting some asshole named Mass Mask, another merc looking to collect on their heads. He went for another slash […]

  Hell Night

  Previous Entry.  A continuation of the story started in Kconk Kconk. Enjoy…   The Cassini Club had next to no patrons in it and one of them had just exploded into a cloud of black smoke. Evan hoped it would be the only bad thing that happened tonight, but he knew in his gut that it […]

  Kconk Kconk

  “Someone’s at the door,” said Evan. “Yeah,” James replied. “You gonna answer that?” asked Mallory. “No,” said James. “Are you expecting company? Are you in trouble?” asked Evan, reaching for his sword belt, which would have more accurately been called the every-pointy-thing-imaginable belt. “Yes and maybe, but these days it seems to be the rule […]

  Welcome to the Spotlight

  Don’t look at the cameras. That’s the first thing she remembered learning when she first became a hero. Pretend the cameras are invisible, like they’re not there. It had been hard to do at first. News cameras and studio cameras were always big and bulky, even as personal cameras got smaller and sleeker. They were […]

  The Arsonist’s Flywheel

  “Okay, folks, stay close. Our next stop is Techno Wonderland,” the museum guide said. He was a scruffy guy with a greying bushy mustache that belonged on a failed 70’s cop show. Lindsay wondered if perhaps that was the reason he looked so scruffy and dejected. “Oh wow,” someone on the tour said as they […]

  The Hanged Men

  “Say it again,” said Rich. “It’s impossible,” said Butch. “Oooh! One more time,” said Rich. “This ain’t a game, Rich. I ain’t as smart as half the people I know but I know that military contractors ain’t nothing to fuck with. It can’t be done,” said Butch. “Of course it can’t be done. It’s never […]
