December 29, 2019 FOB Juliett “Somebody turn that damn alarm off!” Sergeant Thomas shouted at one of the intelligence officers stationed at one of FOB Juliett’s bay of surveillance computers. “It’s going to make me deaf!” “We can’t, sir.” The skinny, bespectacled man at the keyboard pushed up his g...

December 29, 2018 Clovely, 45 minutes north of Rhydin Sami had been forced to flash her badge three times at checkpoints across the Rhovnik Foundation grounds and each time she’d expected someone to tell her to turn back around.

December 28, 2018 Clovely, 45 minutes north of Rhydin Sami hit the red button on her phone to start the recording and then sunk back into the same old chair. Snow swirled outside the bedroom window.

December 26, 2018 Clovely, 45 minutes north of Rhydin Sami hit the red button on her phone and then sunk back into the old cream colored armchair in the corner of their bedroom that was covered in navy fleur de lis.

December 25, 2018 Clovely, 45 minutes north of Rhydin Sami hit the red button on the screen of her phone, making sure it was secure where it was propped up on some books on a side table before she took a step back to sink into a chair. “So… hi, Jay.” “I was lamenting the fact that you’ve missed a g...

December 22, 2018 Clovely, 45 minutes north of Rhydin A stifled sob shook her shoulders. Her shaky fingers scrolled through her phone contacts but tears blinded her past making out the names.

December 21, 2018 Clovely, 45 minutes north of Rhydin The grocery store frequented by the Rhovnik officers in the company town of Clovely was… well, in a single word, ridiculous. Everything was artisanal or organic or farm fresh or sustainable or pasture-raised. Sami wasn’t entirely sure what any o...

December 20, 2018 Dragon's Gate, Rhydin “He’s coming back, Sami.” One of Sami’s favorite parts of Stick’s dojo was that the various bunkrooms and offices and sitting rooms and training rooms were around the edges of the square two-story brick building.

October 19, 2018 The village of Clovely to the north of Rhydin proper Highbury Street was one of those charming little streets that the village of Clovely had in abundance.

October 12, 2018 The village of Clovely to the north of Rhydin proper “Sami? Open your eyes, Sami.” The voice was firm and familiar. The hospital bed she was lying on was not.
