There had never been a worse time to sneeze. Nost twitching, stomach churning and there it was. The loudest sneeze I'd ever heard. Hopefully that monster around the corner didn't bat an eye, except he did and he was angry.

Since witnessing the turning, he pledged his life to the one who had saved him from the madness of his people, but delusion still had him pinned by its coarse claws, the fight for freedom had just begun.

Billowing curtains above his head woke John. Peaking through his lashes, the sun beckoned him to start the day with a yawn and a good stretch. Scratching Henry behind the ears, he savored the dawn - his favorite time of day. The early morning air was crisp and the world seemed a new creation rising out of the night.

The meadow, ah yes, the meadow...
You'll walk in and think it the product of dreams and fairy tales. It will be then the meadow will strike.

The words "don’t tell" had become the sweetest words Bowen Baine could hear coming from the 15 year old Princess Adara. Though he was five years her senior, he wasn’t at all more mature, being an ogre, or any more knowledgeable about the things that had been taking place between them lately.

He stood there confused. The tears begged him to let them go, but he held them back. His ego was too strong for that but not too strong to beg. He watched the gun kiss his daughter's ear. "I'll give you the package. I'll do whatever you want." "Too late for that." His wife's face lit up as she pulled the trigger.

Humm... This seems promising.

The clock ceased its melancholy ticking at precisely one second to the hour. The hour was when the screaming began.

How it happened nobody knew. Boom! Boom!! Boom!!! All at once people began to scamper for safety looking for where to hide. The sky exploded raining fires and brimstones .
