Re: Age Appropriate Live Play
I’m kind of curious where all the outrage is over someone playing a rapist taking joy in antagonizing their victim in public? Or the outrage over the players involved laughing about it in an OOC public channel? Where’s the concern over sensibilities when you have people playing serial killers, tortu...

Re: Meet the Gallows (June 2017)
Here comes the bride… She was coming, right? It had been something modest, the surprise Cooper had orchestrated. A busy morning that started before the sun had bloomed into a small collection of folding chairs, no more than a few dozen, with a rustic carpet that ran down a lane in the center and st...

Re: Meet the Gallows (June 2017)
"Cooper," Mia breathed his name sharply but went no further when he raised a hand to stop her. His rise to his feet and been slow, unhurried. His hat had been abandoned in good manners, leaving a placid expression that shouldn't have been as disconcerting as it was and a furrowed brow. The...

"See? That's muh slugger." Both arms dipped to slide around her expanding waistline, his bearded mouth raining kisses down atop the crown of her head. "S' amazin' what the perspective of twenty plus years'a not livin' at home brings. The things y' learn t' see that y' never saw befo'....

Re: Enraged: My Own Apocalypse (Cooper Dies At The End)
Rage only works if it is justified. That's the trick with rage. You gotta have a reason to be mad. -Sam Kinison This is not how it was supposed to end. Those were the words. It was a sentiment that was timeless, whispered upon the lips the lips of the dying in a thousand different ways; it was a de...

Re: Enraged: My Own Apocalypse (Cooper Dies At The End)
Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers. It may not be difficult to store up in the mind a vast quantity of facts within a comparatively short time, but the ability to form judgments requires the severe discipline of hard work and the tempering heat of experience and maturity. -Calvin Coolidge I guess ...

Re: Enraged: My Own Apocalypse (Cooper Dies At The End)
It is wise to direct your anger towards problems - not people; to focus your energies on answers - not excuses. -William Arthur Ward It was a long, dark tunnel, all ancient stone smoothed over with moisture and lichen. Pretty sure I saw it in two different horror movies and at least a dozen reoccur...

Re: Enraged: My Own Apocalypse (Cooper Dies At The End)
[Continued immediately after...] "Cooper!" Claire yelped, her voice echoing from stone to stone in the dark. There was something to be said for the fight or flight instinct, particularly when it came to protecting a child. An unborn one at that. He caught her by the throat and stifled her ...

Re: Enraged: My Own Apocalypse (Cooper Dies At The End)
"Never anythin' good on television anymo'," I grunted, soured in the moment but quickly losing track of just why. But hey, it was at least obvious that I kept my charming drawl, inner monologue be damned. There were still a pair of teevees running but I had lost interest right about then,...

Re: Enraged: My Own Apocalypse (Cooper Dies At The End)
No memory is ever alone; it's at the end of a trail of memories, a dozen trails that each have their own associations. -Louis L'Amour Another pull from the bottle helped. Idly, I wondered if this thing would ever be empty. Not complaining, though. The stuff taste good going down, with only the fain...

Re: Enraged: My Own Apocalypse (Cooper Dies At The End)
It is a most mortifying reflection for a man to consider what he has done, compared to what he might have done. -Samuel Johnson There was no tunnel. No light at the end of it. The pain was gone and I don’t remember having felt anything else. No stairway to Heaven. No highway to Hell. I couldn’t sme...

Re: Enraged: My Own Apocalypse (Cooper Dies At The End)
A mile was too far away , Claire had said. A quarter mile was too close , Henry had said. They could split the difference , Raven had said, set up shop at a half mile out. A half mile wasn’t the difference between a mile and a quarter, Henry had protested, but the pair of looks he received from bot...

Enraged: My Own Apocalypse (Cooper Dies At The End)
[Original Post Date 10/02/2017] The boundaries which divide Life from Death are at best shadowy and vague.

Daddy Issues
3/21/16 Forty-five minutes when spent in near total silence has a way of stretching on and on much like the single southbound lane that served as the most direct route from Rhydin City to the seventy-some odd sprawling acres that made up the Caelum Manor property. April wasn't quite upon them yet bu...
