It was a weird fight as things have gone agaisnt the undead for me. My Blade and my Piece seemd to make efective hits, with visible damage. Heck my last shot even scattered bone and brain matter over the roof. But none of it seemed to really bother him more than a temporary inconvenience. Other und...

So I asked some questions of those who know some things over there and it turns out this guy may have been active for almsot a year. I haven't found any confirmation of American sightings of him, but apparently the locals know about him well. The local civilians call him the Dragon, I think for the...

Of course, he made the mistake of looking over the edge to watch me fall. I’d managed to snag the fire escape just before it got out of reach, so when he looked over, I was hanging there, waiting. I drilled him right between the eyes with a shot from my Piece. His head snapped backwards confirming ...

Recently a long term customer of mine who knows about my other interests forwarded this to me. It was sent to him by his son, who was serving overseas. Where we were precisely is classified, but I can tell you we were in a country that is currently experiencing an insurgency involving extremist jih...

The corpse man and I made eye contact. “Just my luck” he muttered with a self-mocking laugh, then made a break for a fire escape. “No you don’t.” I brought up my Piece and opened up at the copse man as he clambered up the fire escape. I scored a few hits, slowing him down for a moment with my silve...

We continued like that for several hours. Remy got the idea of looking at the people of the street as vulnerable, easy prey for something looking to take a human life pretty easily, but it took him longer to get why they were on the streets and why they just didn’t go somewhere else. It took a whil...

The full moon was hanging large in the sky by the time we got downtown. I directed Remy past the more fashionable, well-lit areas. The gentrification of the downtown core had forced the street people to the fringes around the downtown. As the prey moved, the predators would follow. So, to make the ...

Ghost ship: Panama tanker goes off grid, washes up with no crew A crewless ship washed ashore in Liberia last week, according to NBC News. The oil tanker, Tamaya 1, reported its last known coordinates April 22 heading toward the Dakar port in Senegal, according to World Maritime News. It was found ...

I really should have learned by now that I am better off staying at home when the date reads Friday the 13th. I’ve been bitten, clawed, stabbed and shot on that inauspicious day. I’ve wound up arrested, hospitalized and committed on that thirteen times cursed day. So I really should have just staye...

I wasn't the one that brought her into the game. In fact, my preference was to give her a way out of the game completely. But the game tends not to let pieces just walk away. However, unlike the ones that brought her into the game, I've never forced her into anything. She got to make choices with m...

Castling is also a defensive move that limits your mobility. You give up being able to react for the perception of a strong defence. However, that defence is still able to be penetrated and when it is, you have nowhere to run. I'm much more fond of using a Rook aggressively to eliminate my opponent...

We've had a rough road recently. We've lost friends and family. We've had to make some hard choices. I don't expect those will stop anytime soon, but for the moment I am smiling and relieved that my daughter Hannah is resting comfortably after delivering the first of what I expect will be many chil...

Actually, Darcy decided that as a parent it was important for her to accept responsibility for her past and the consequences that go along with it. She (and I) both feel that to do otherwise wold send a wholly inappropriate message to our children. So while I do appreciate your offer, there is no i...

As is probably no secret, my wife, Darcy, had a somewhat troubled past. In recent years, she has been working hard to reform herself. In the nearly three years since we wed, she has been an exemplary role model to all of our children. As a part of reforming herself, she decided that it was time to ...

I don't think predator and prey could last together in the same city openly for an extended period without the prey learning ways to defend themselves and, eventually, to turn the tables. So I can easily see the humans getting sick of being lower in the food chain and taking steps to adjust the soc...
