The Lich[July 2022]Leaving the British airport, my next objective was to reach the embassy and collect my weapons and armor. I flagged down a cab.“Where to Sir?” He asked as I sat down.“The embassy if you please.” I said and turned my attention to the scenery of London.“Will do Sir.” He said and ignited the engine.The cab driver kept glancing at me through the mirror.“You here on vacation?” He asked.“Just here on business.” I replied nonchalantly.“Whatcha a young kid like you searching for on the streets of London?, what sorta business if you don't mind me asking.” He asked and glanced through the mirror.I wanted to just ignore the curious man but then I decided to piggyback on a famous movie punchline.“Sorry, but its the kind I'll have to kill you if I tell you.”He laughed out loud.“You a special agent or a team guy?” He asked.“Neither. I'm just a kid like you said.” I said in way that cut off any further conversation.The rest of the drive was silent and soon I arrived

Witch-huntWe arrived at a small town, under the pitch black night. The folks weren't exactly the friendly type either. I strolled around the street searching for an eatery or at least a snack-bar.I found a bar and I went in. I was greeted with the silence the moment I got in. The bustling bar had turned into a graveyard.“You lost fella?” the male bartender asked as he reached his hand below the counter.“You need food or milk?” He asked again and that's when I knew something was up. I turned around and looked at the fear stricken men and women staring at me.“Good Sir, is it liquor you want?” he asked again. I smelt gunpowder and I knew the bartender was holding a gun ready to shoot in case I turn out to be the bad guy.He was a middle-aged bald man, he wasn't brawny, he seems to not have eaten for a year.“Do you have steak? With lots of sauce. Oh yeah, I'll need that milk you mentioned earlier as well.” I said. I still stood by the door.“Pick a table Sir. I will get your orders r

Gunshots in the roomSarah felt a cold sensation creep over her body as someone led her to a mansion bathed in pale moonlight. A tall fence surrounded the property, creating a mysterious aura that sent chills down her spine. The house was filled with strange sounds, such as the hiss of the wind sweeping through dry leaves and invisible whispers echoing in the night air. Sarah was both frightened and surprised by the atmosphere that stirred the imagination.She sighed heavily as the man escorting her pushed open the large door to the house. The door rattled as it opened, revealing a spacious living room with classical ornaments and luxurious furniture that looked like objects thrown from the Victorian era. Large candles lit up the room, creating strange shadows all over the walls.Without warning, Sarah was suddenly pulled into the basement by a large, fierce-looking man. The man wore a black cloak that fluttered behind him as he held Sarah firmly by the arm. His eyes were sharp and fi

Punishment Lucian sternly ordered, "Lock her in the room!"Sarah felt out of control and helpless as Lucian ordered his guards to confine her in the room. The room was not the dirty, dark place it had been before; however, the emptiness within created a sense of emptiness that was difficult to express. She surrendered, allowing herself to be guided into her captivity.A bodyguard with a broad chest led Sarah into a room that now looked more like a luxurious prison. The walls were adorned with expensive artwork, but a lonely feel permeated the room. Lucian, who had previously given her a cold stare, now smiled contentedly as the door to the room slammed shut behind him.Sarah shot Lucian a cold stare after the question he asked. "The doctor only told me about the possibilities," she said sharply.Lucian tried to change his tone, becoming softer. "You can get pregnant, right?" he asked again.However, Sarah remained silent, leaving the question hanging in the air. Lucian felt frustrat

You're funnySarah was silent in her reverie, thinking about Lucian's honesty as a werewolf. Ever since they first met, she had felt something odd about the man. But she had never witnessed his transformation as a werewolf."Is he really a fantasy creature like what he said? Or is that just a lie? Werewolf? That sounds like a lie.""Enough thinking about your escape, Sarah," Lucian broke Sarah's reverie suddenly.Sarah was startled and looked Lucian straight in the eye, "I'm not thinking about anything, Mr. Lucian."However, with his piercing gaze, Lucian could detect the anxiety plaguing Sarah's mind. "Never mind, don't lie. You're not good at lying. We should talk about other matters," Lucian said seriously.Sarah nodded, waiting for Lucian to continue their conversation."Sarah, are you pregnant yet?"Sarah was surprised by the sudden question. She examined herself, looking for signs of pregnancy. "I don't know, Sir. I've never checked."Lucian grimly looked at Sarah, "You must co
