Misery of the Multitudes ch51 the bath, bryx's...

[DEVIATION] Chapter 51: The Bath and Bryx's Intervention In the secret chamber behind Dr. Volta's room of death, the late scientist's enfeebled wife is confronted and accused by the housekeeper, Thingmar. “Easy?” the sick woman blinked. “What do you mean?” “Everything for you has been so easy. You were weak, but everything was brought to you. Everyone in this house slaved for you, and even Ward, the butler, has paid for it. Yesterday I was a mother, today, thanks to you, I am in mourning. Is that fair, my lady?” “What… what do you mean to do to me?” Thingmar stopped and regarded the woman for a long moment, saying nothing. “Thingmar?” The housekeeper went and opened and the panel in the wall. This is a panel we have seen before, dear reader, for it was here that Dr. Volta kept the vat of chemical which he kept on hand to dispose of inconvenient things, like remains. It would now be put to another purpose, it seemed. There was no mistaking the vat, for it carried its own strong smell

Nameless Sails ch50 between the devil and deep sea

[DEVIATION] I threw myself across Ist, hoping we would pass for more of the dead. To my dismay, one of the devils reached down to try and take the weapons off of the dead pirate under us. The hand was large, scarred, and entirely too familiar. “What’s all this?” I heard the voice in my ear. He must have realized the truth. I found myself pulled to one side. [DEVIATION] L. Between Devil and Deep Sea “Repel them!” the captain cried. A hatch near at hand was thrown open and there soon appeared more sailors. Now they were in their combat gear, and this batch looked more lively by far. “There aren’t that many of them! You can take them.” I saw the plan then, that the three of us could not be missed in the forefront. What tipped me to the notion was the fact that I witnessed a growing trend in the actions of the three large piratea: this being that they aimed to wound now more often than they did to kill. If they shot a man in the back, it was only to ensure that he turned around. In

In Which Love Blooms and Family is Revisited

[DEVIATION] XXXV. In Which Love Blooms and Family is Revisited On a street in Burlington, Vermont, the young frontiersman found himself surrounded by bullies who taunted him and called him a fearful name which seemed to confirm his worst fears. “Explain that!” Bundy shouted at the boy who tormented him, shoving him back. “Why do you call me a bastard?” “Is it not obvious?” said one with gap teeth and suspenders. “you are illegitimate! Your cousins have said as much, and one only needs to look at you to know it, Theodore!” “Get back from me,” Bundy fumed at them. “I don't suppose a one of you knows his father, at least not without a bottle in his mouth.” “Say what you like,” another of the pack said, “but we know your mother for what she is! She is no lady of virtue, Theodore, oh no! Your mother, I say, is no angel, and you are nothing more than her shameful spawn! Why else would you come back here, if not to hear that?” Able to stand no more, Theodore threw fists, but the others

The Murderer Returns

[DEVIATION] XXII. The Murderer Returns “What happened,” Veronica asked Kenneth as she took out a damp cloth to clean the wound, “did he just do that to you and run away?” “I got off a shot at him and it hit, but it was not enough to stop him. I thought at first I might have, but on the road I met some soldiers and some sailors, talking about how he had been along that way and stole a man’s donkey from him. He was headed for the pueblo.” “How did he get ahead of you?” “I was not in a hurry at first, and he went off down the creek. It seemed to me he couldn’t last. If only I had caught up to him and finished the job! Ah!” He winced then, for the wound stung once the cake of blood was off it. “Ruined my good coat…” “This is a bad fix to be in. The last thing we need is a killer running around after the girls. We haven’t even solved what is wrong with them yet.” “One thing is sure, we will never know if he takes them.” Veronica bandaged Kenneth up and they discussed what was to be done.

The Body Discovered

[DEVIATION] CHAPTER LVI. The Body Discovered Confronted in the janitor's closet by Clift, Pony searches for a means of escape. Perched on a span halfway through the small space, he chances to look up. The ceiling was at an angle, and, in that angle, was a large grating which light poured through. This was a vent. Employing one of the tools on hand, Pony carefully cleared the dust from the shelves below the vent, and climbed up to where he faced the grating. It was secured, after a fashion, but he was able to pry it loose with one of the tools he had with him. Tilting it up on one end, he lifted himself and moved to where his shoes rested on the outside of the stairs structure. He shifted out onto the roof of it and looked around him. The whole of the object he rested on was done in the same polished white brick of much of the promenade was made. The divots between the bricks, although partly filled with paint and a glaze of polish, were enough for him to gain a grip with his

The Devil's Footprints - THE FINAL CHAPTER

[DEVIATION] LXXXI. The Night of the Terror In the catacombs, Brett Piper fights with the other gifted man to try and prevent the stone from being discovered. Brett leanrs that the other had a thin chain twined about his rings, but the spirits warn that this is evil magic. The enemy takes hold of Brett and hurls him through a wall. Stones rained down on all side of a hollow in which Brett Pirper crashed and landed on a heap of bones. All was dust and musty smell, and Brett had to struggle to rise, feeling his head and lamenting the abuse. He turned to look at the hole he had made and saw that the glow of the fire from the larger chamber faded off. “He searches,” the spirits told him, “you must let him expend his strength.” “But I must stop him,” Brett replied, trying to drag himself up to lean against the side of the tomb, trying also not to look at the mess of broken bones that covered the floor, “he will bring it to them. They will win.” “Think, Brett,” another spirit said, “think

If that is approved, it will appear for sale on places like Amazon [EMOTE] [EMOTE] This whole thing
