《The Scratchers Among Us》Chapter 14 - The Accusation
Advertisement
“How could this happen he? was with us the whole time!” Alyelle said sadly. “He did go to do wires in electrical, maybe it was then that… one of our ‘friends’ killed him.” Skelly said. He made sure that he did the air quotes to emphasise that one of them had betrayed the crew. “Ughh why are we here Pato wasn’t even that important!” Kaj said very rudely. “First of all his name is Potato, and second of all he was our friend and a great brother to Lilly!” Alyelle said, very angrily. “Okay Kaj, that wasn't nice but we're running out of time we need to find out who the imposter is.” Olivia said, trying to sound innocent. “Ok fine but whoever did this you're so dead to me!” said Skelly. Why is Kaj being so rude and why is Olivia trying to change the subject? Lilly thought. Of course she hadn’t expected any different response from Kaj but it was still strange… but the more pressing behavior? That was Olivia. She decided she’d dwell on that a little later after this meeting while she was finishing up her last tasks. “Well are we done here?” Kaj asked. “Yeah” Olivia replied blankly. Lilly suspected she had something… something dramatic on her mind, since Lilly didn’t have much info on her she didn’t know what Olivia’s thoughts were always on. Which would explain how she wouldn’t pay attention when they had “meetings.” Finally, when Kaj left, Skelly huddled up with the rest of the crewmates and told everyone he had an accusation to make. Lilly’s throat became dry and suddenly her face became hot as she quietly whispered “I hope it’s not me.” repeatedly and so much that her already dry throat, hurt and she stopped. “Well, I think it’s…” He started to whisper and Lilly was sure of what he’d say but there was still a small chance he wouldn't… right? “Lilly'' Everyone suddenly backed away from her with a look of horror on their faces. Alyelle cried, “Why would you do that to your own brother! To us?!” Lilly couldn’t think of an explanation so she just blurted out “It’s not me! Don’t believe him!”

Lightfall 4: Darkest Sinlight
Darkness descends over Ardjia, that newly discovered beautiful gemlike planet and its many hundreds of starlane jump points that the Syndicate, the Identic, and Ardjia herself are all too willing to commit murder to control. What is the darkest sin of a world of dark energy users? Where blood is the currency of truth, of power, of life itself, where living sacrifices have their hearts ripped out and offered to the gods atop ancient pyramids, what could possibly be considered a dark blasphemy? Lord Lightfall and the undisputed King of Sunset Highland face their own darkest sins while trying to stay alive and bring the dark ka culture of Ardjia up out of the gravity well and out into the Intergalactic Identic all the while trying to maintain a bit of integrity amidst an array of awful choices whose consequences may come to affect millions on Ardjia if not billions throughout the Identic.
8 107Blue Road
Richard didn't heed his guardian's warnings about the mysterious and shady place from the flyer he came across. He wanted a big break and a chance to make quick and easy money, but never expected to find himself tricked and caught in a twisted experiment conjured up by scientists. Transformed into a monstrous blue, blob-like creature, Richard flees the scene in a panic. He teams up with a ghostly child named Fawn, who wants revenge on her parents' killer, and leaves town to find the one responsible for their (recently) destroyed lives. Federal Agents, corrupt corporate heads, shady scientists, and even the police are all on his trail. Richard will need to use his newly honed skills to uncover the truth of who's really behind the scenes, and who to trust. What will they uncover? [Heads up, it's going to be a slow burn, and will take a while for the story to really get going.]
