There is no such thing in the Universe as an unexplained phenomenon. If there is no reasonable explanation for something, people, as a general rule will make it up. In many cases Common Sense and Reason simple give up, pack a bag, and take off for parts unknown without leaving a forwarding address. However in […]
Morton Penwinkle stood watching the skies. He wasn't so much watching them as waiting for them to fall and he wanted to be sure he was looking when it started. He shoved his hands deep in his pockets, it was after all fairly cold, and stamped his feet to make sure he stayed warm. In […]
The head of the task force assigned to work with us in dealing with Asgard has been going over the reports and aftermath of the encounter in the Boston area for the last 15 minutes but I've tuned out. We lost 8 of our own and only managed, through shear luck, to capture 1 of them. […]
Buildings all around where I sit have collapsed and the streets are littered with abandoned cars and debris from the battle. From the repots I'm getting over my headset we held the city but at a steep price. Cambridge is pretty much leveled, and the North End is gone. No one has any idea how. […]

Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Ziffer Elroy Drumkins. And yes, I believe my parents hated me. Most people just call me Zed. I'm 17, from Boston, MA and I'm a Zombie Hunter. Trust me, it's not as glamorous as it sounds. ¬†In fact it's kind of messy, but I do get to travel […]
The entire room was bathed in bright light. ¬†Not so bright as to be blinding, but bright enough that it was worrying to try and navigate through the room after being in the dark hallway. As his eyes adjusted he could see shadows moving around behind the lights in all directions, their purpose and goals […]
Gustav sat up as the small grey and black dog walked into through the open gate. He looked around at the pack of dogs that flanked him on both sides. He smiled, which considering he was a large Golden Retriever made a fairly expressive grin. "Sam. You have some nerve coming here. Especially with out your […]
