Damien shielded his eyes from the glare of the sun, trying to peer into the thick canopy of trees below him. ‘It’s not use,’ he said with a sigh, turning back to his group of friends. ‘I can’t see anything, even from up here.’ ‘There’s no …
I limped slowly through my living room, reaching for and collapsing into my leather armchair with a sigh. ‘You’re being dramatic,’ my sister said, following after me with an armful of groceries. ‘You don’t know my pain,’ I hissed at her. ‘You don’t understand!’ I couldn’t …
I took shallow breaths, pressed against the metal railing of the abandoned workshop, trying not to cough at the thick dust that permeated the air. They were in here somewhere with me – I could hear them, cackling and snickering, the awful echo ricocheting around the …

I paced around my living room, wondering whether my friend was ever going to show up. We’d agreed to hang out at 3:00 pm. I looked at the clock – 5:30 pm. Almost dinner time. I had been hoping to order a couple of pizzas for us, but by then I wasn’t even sure if …
Okay, I’ve seen a lot of crazy things happen while window tinting for the Empire, but this definitely takes the cake. I’ve been at this gig as Emperor Palantine’s personal window tinter for almost 25 years now, but I’ve never been caught in the middle of a giant battle while the Emperor himself shoots lightning …
