                           The Dawn of Destruction Interitus 1 – Book One Chapter Ten               “My heavenly prophetess, it is an honor to finally meet you. You are even more beautiful than the disciples led me to believe,” the man said, lightly bowing as a sign of respect.             Naomi gazed briefly upon the man that Antonius had sent to meet her in this underground chamber. He was humbled to be in her presence, which Naomi figured meant he would make an ideal puppet. He had completely bought that she was the representative of God Himself. It therefore led Naomi to believe that this meeting would go very smoothly for her on the road to her totalitarian ambitions. And although his face was dirty and his clothes were stained with the sweat of a long journey, she believed that he could ...

An Aftershock of Hope and Fear: Epilogue

                 Interitus 3: Short Story #1: An Aftershock of Hope and Fear Epilogue   “Pretty sure I’m in the right place… but I can’t say for certain. Can you let me through? I have an invitation from Abraham Tamatoa,” said the dark-haired woman as she unfolded the sweat-stained letter in her hand.

Abraham narrowed his eyes when the next drop cascaded into the puddle, using the incident reflection to search the adjacent cells for Ophelia. But once again, they were all empty. He had hardly seen her since they arrived in this makeshift prison, and he had already lost track of time. With no exposure ...
