September 16th, 7 months and 66 days since the first zombie report
We had finally settled in!
Things were dusted off, glued back together and tidied up.
It was beginning to feel like a real home. We had a real good look in all of the rooms, cupboards and small cracks where things could be hiding.
But it seemed to be perfect.
Everyone got a room and a bathroom. Riley got his own room and when Megan's baby is born, it'll get its own room too.
Turns out this place is bigger than it lets on. There's a small circular pool out back with lawn chairs and a pool house with pool toys.
During Spring and Summer, we'll have a lot of yard work to do. But it'll be worth it. The guys are talking about this being a forever home.
We spent Paxton's birthday with him, drinking, throwing up and drinking again. And we do have power - Alex, Gage and Paxton managed to figure out the electricity that led to this house.
The solar panels are just environment friendly.
It was a good day.
We moved in. Alex and I made up. Oh, and Riley said his first word.
'Brother'. To say Alex cried was an understatement - he was a blubbering idiot. He also got the balls to ask out Megan, which is good!
But its still a shock to me that after everything we've been through, we made it out alive. Here we are.
I was laying in bed with Paxton who was tickling my arm. "You okay sweet boy?" I asked him, he's a bit quiet.
"I'm okay. Perfect, actually. Just thinking, that's all." He smiled, kissing the top of my head, "About what?"
My skin was pressed to his bare chest and nothing had ever felt better.

"About how much I love you."
That was a shock. I mean, he always says I love you but he actually admitted to thinking about it!
"Pax." I gushed. "I just mean, you're finally mine. You can't slip out of my fingertips or leave me without saying goodbye. You're finally mine forever."
I felt tears behind my eyes but I blinked them away, "I love you so much it's addicting. I can't get enough of you!"
"Oh really? Tell me how much you love me." Paxton smirked, winking at me as his hands gripped my waist.

I served up dinner that night. A little soup. Made of beans and other leftover stuff.
It's the first dinner we'll have as a 'family'. At the dinner table. It took me a while to navigate this house. Find where things go.
But, I did discover a wine cabinet.
"We made it guys."

Little Death
Not quite immortal, but certainly not human, Tabitha and Sam blended in for years as a seemingly normal couple-- hitting the bars together, scraping out a living on the edge of society, never revealing that the violent ends of their human lives had rebirthed them as Mara--a succubus and an incubus. But when a mutual mistake brings down punishment upon them, forcing them to separate, each loses the only thing that matters--their lover, partner, and soul mate. Tabitha, determined to placate the entities who control her fate, takes to the streets of New York City to find a long-lost relic she hopes will win their favor; by night, she pursues the dreamers who welcome her into their beds and, sometimes, their wallets. Sam, despondent and struggling, escapes deeper and deeper into a relationship with a human woman enchanted with him--and one that could risk all he has left. Until a single encounter changes everything, and he will have Tabitha back no matter what the cost.

NEVER SPLIT THE PARTY: The Adventures of The Creeping Bam (BOOK TWO: One Cold Trail)
After their fateful misadventure in the mountainous Norther Reaches of RUNDAO, a dark new threat to all of RUNDAO has been revealed to the mercenary band of THE CREEPING BAM and their newest member, half-orc bandit SHAYLINE SWIFT-KILL. Returning their hard-won cargo to THE SILVER ORDER in their city stronghold in BAVAT, they find their well-deserved rest will have to rest – half-elf wizard GAEL FOXTAIL’s father has disappeared while performing an investigation in the coastal city of UNTERMER, and it’s up to our motley crew to find him. As a son of Untermer, wily bakaneko thief ART OF SHADOWS is the perfect choice to lead the way, but he has ghosts of his own to face as their investigation brings them into the orbit of the THIEVES GUILD. But there are daker forces at work here, and as they uncover a dark conspiracy and form an uneasy alliance with a trio of tough sellswords with their own stake in the game, led by dwarven warrior THELGAEWYNN FROSTFORGE, the Creeping Bam begin to suspect this may be connected to that unfinished business they started back up north … This is a love letter and homage to the high-fantasy worlds of the tabletop RPGs like Dungeons & Dragons, Pathfinder and Warhammer and the sword & sorcery cinema and literature I fell in love with as a kid growing up in the 80s, from Robert E. Howard’s Conan the Barbarian (and the awesome Schwarzenegger movie, STILL my favourite fantasy film EVER), The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit and Ron Howard and George Lucas’ Willow, to the more grown-up and edgy worlds of grimdark masters George RR Martin and (my all-time favourite) Joe Abercrombie, as well as a BIG DOLLOP of Terry Pratchett’s immortal Discworld series. IMPORTANT: This story contains material which some readers may consider to be mature, such as battle violence, some strong language and occasional mild sexual scenes. If this is not your kind of thing, this story is not for you. I am also serializing this story on Tumblr, Wattpad, Quotev and Sweek.
