Posted by Wolf2407 , 21 September 2012 -

A Desperate Trade

The dog had been relatively easy to skin, even with his inexperience, and he’d been told how to do it, so it...

Hope for the Hopeless

14

It was going to be a bitter winter.

He’d seen starvation before, during the Urban Wars, in London, the man thought. It had been one of many factors in the chaos, one thing to add to the howls of the dying that haunted the night.

Children, he remembered, had killed each other for scraps, chased the...

The hunger was sharp enough to drive him to insanity.

Roarke fell to his knees, clutched his head in his hands, and whimpered with the sharp agony as his gut clenched and...

Fire in the Sky

Roarke gently stroked his fingers down the back of Tintrí’s neck.

-Patrick Roarke
