Moonlight Over a Lost Dog

Tonight’s tale will be told in two parts. For the first part, we follow a young woman as she ventures into the village. The fires of her curiosity were undoubtedly stoked by the villages growing reputation for being infested with thugs, drunks, assholes, and the pedantic creeps who broke them. Her curiosity leads her to the infamous doll museum, and her better judgment leads her to leave it almost immediately. This leads her to the river road, where sleepy houses are overshadowed by trees that s...

Moonlight Over Exposed Bone

For tonight’s tale, we follow our solitary thug as he makes his way through the tunnels that run beneath our ruined village. He was sent there by a mysterious figure. Some call him the bird man, others call him the dirt spider. Our hapless thug is being pursued by an unimaginable horror that has just received a name, and that name is the Rook. The birdman informs our solitary thug that the Rook is coming for him and he will steal the bones from his body. He tells him that his only hope lies in t...

Our pilgrim, a young man who is being relentlessly haunted by an unquiet spirit, has decided he can no longer endure the ice cold touch of the restless dead that pokes him in the eye every Thursday night. He seeks aid from one who is learned in the ways of the dead.

Moonlight Over Desecrated Wine

For tonight’s tale, we find Tomisaburo, the mysterious Kitsune who acts as the demon lord of the ruined village, curled up in a hole he dug in the ground. He is lying there so he does not have to show his face to the moonlight. As he contemplates his place in the world of the living, a world in which he received that savage ass whoopin from them boys, he hears a strange voice. Intrigued by the level of venomous pride and arrogance in the voice, he follows it to its source, a mysterious figure kn...

Moonlight Over a Resurrection

Though it is not my intent to allow this work to descend into the realm of self promotion, I fear it is necessary as it is relevant to tonight’s tale. I wrote a novelette entitled Escaping the Old Charleston Jail, and it is available on Amazon. It’s a dark tale about man at odds with the world around him. He turns to alcohol to dull the pain of fitting in, but the alcohol becomes a prison to him. Our doomed hero eventually finds his escape. Unfortunately, his judgment is so ruined that he escape...

Moonlight Over a Solitary Thug

For tonight’s episode, we find ourselves standing at the crossroads with one of the village’s disaffected youths. As we stand beneath the moon in need of direction and purpose, we await the birdman and his legion of doomed souls. The hour is late, and nothing good is likely to come of any of this. Nevertheless, we stand waiting, mulling over the past crimes and sins that brought us to this lonely street corner. Our guide is an aimless soul, yet he has been enlisted to protect the birdman from th...

Moonlight Over a Coiled Serpent

The village is much quieter after being the recipient of that epic asswhoopin expertly administered by the Rook and his crew. The weed has been pulled from the garden. But parts of the roots still remain. Not enough to warrant the brutal attentions of the Rook, but these loose ends have attracted the attentions of independent agents in search of new holes to invade. For all gardens have their snakes, and our doomed little garden has now been claimed by none other than Sachiko. She is as beautifu...
