Demi-God 02

by Tower Curator — Time passed by Victoria without her really noticing. She fell into a daze as people whirled about around her at an accelerated rate. Mama had come into the room shortly after. Questions flew around, none that Victoria really had answers to. She had been ushered off to a side room where Mama came in and out to offer comfort and the occasional glass of water. Had she fallen asleep? Probably. She couldn't remember any dreams, but she felt refreshed upon waking. Perhaps a lack of dreams was for the best.…

Duality 05

by Tower Curator — The Basement Staying out all night was irritating. Even though I had one whole body that was asleep, my other body yearned for rest and relaxation. While I did take a few breathers at various locations around the city—a bench in Central Park, an open-late diner, and a few bus stops—I never slept and I never let the bag out of my sight. I tried to act normal, like I wasn’t worried about a scary shadow lady following me around. Unfortunately, walking around the city for a full night wasn’t…

Specter 02

by Tower Curator — Adam's eyes fluttered open as a groan escaped his lips. His tongue ran along his teeth. A coppery taste stuck around, almost as if he had been sucking on a penny. The light bulbs hanging from the ceiling were dancing around. Swaying this way and that. He knew that they weren't moving. There probably wasn't even more than one. It was his eyes that were having trouble focusing. And that ringing in his ears was not helping. He reached up to slam his hand down on his alarm clock only to nearly fall…

Duality 01

by Tower Curator — The Family “What is the difference between a hero and a villain?” The man stared at me as if I had two heads. In today’s society, having two heads would be an uncommon sight, but not one that anyone on the street would gawk at for too long. That was just how unique today’s world was. People were different now than they were before. So instead, it would be more accurate to say that he stared at me as if he couldn’t understand how someone old enough to be in high school could possibly ask…

Alchemy and Dead Bodies

by Tower Curator — Chapter I: Departure at Platform Thirteen The train platform bustled with life, the air alive with the chatter of departing passengers, the clang of baggage carts, and the occasional sharp hiss of steam from the waiting engine. Lydia Carrington stood near the edge, her valise at her feet and her gloves clutched tightly in her hands. She was doing her best to keep her nerves at bay, though the energy of the platform wasn’t helping. Professor Alcott stood beside her, a stout man with a wiry beard…

The Cults of Voynich City

by Tower Curator — Chapter I: The Cult of Lost Souls HUMAN RESOURCES Stewart Cinn rolled the stamp on the pad of red ink, lifted it into the air, and slammed it down on the request form with a heavy thud. “Denied.” “Denied?” The old man, face covered in symbolic tattoos, looked up in shock. “How? I filled everything out perfectly.” “I apologize, Minister, but it is the view of Human Resources that your need for sacrifices at this time is superfluous at best.” “Superfluous? You can’t…

Duality 03

by Tower Curator — Can't Do the Sum Work was out for the week. The Snow Queen had actually caused a fair bit of damage to more than just the coffee maker. A few pipes had burst in both the kitchen and the toilets. The freezer had turned into one large block of ice, ruining a decent amount of the food inside. It would be a couple of days before everything got fixed or replaced. Insurance was paying for all of it, apparently. I would like to say that I was enjoying my vacation, but I wasn’t. I just couldn’t get my…

Duality 02

by Tower Curator — Super Burger “Welcome to Super Burger, home of the Super Burger, can I take your order?” “Uh. Yes. One Amazing Burger. No cheese. No bacon. To go. That’s it.” With half lidded eyes, I punched her order into the computer. It was, truly, a mind numbing profession. There was an older man, a Dennis, who had been working between the front counter and the kitchens for over twenty years. I could not fathom how he came into work every day with a smile on his face. Six months of this job and I…

Dead Language 07

by Tower Curator — Joining the Crew “Hi mom, dad. I… um… I don’t exactly know where to start. You probably have a lot of questions after my last video. I’m not sure I was all that articulate. Hah, a linguist not being articulate with her words.” Dorothy smiled, but it didn’t stick around for long. “Alice says that we’ll be in a location soon where I can make a live call to you, but until then, I wanted you to know that I’m alright and to not worry about me, so you get this video! Which will probably…

Dead Language 06

by Tower Curator — Medical Matters “She’s sleeping,” Alister said, closing the door lightly. The heavy metal doors of the Lunar Dial weren’t exactly meant to close silently, but he still tried so as to not wake Dorothy. Gideon sat just outside, reading a book in a chair that he had dragged out to the hall. He was still fully armed from his own excursion out into the city. A precaution Alice had insisted upon. There really wasn’t so much space in the cramped vessel walkways for him to be fully geared out with a…
