The Snake and The Rabbit
Araminta (Ara) Elizabeth (Lizzie, Liza) Parker (Merryweather?) The December wind tore with force down Bakers Street. As the years progressed on me, my old wound pains me even more.

Once there was Darkness
The fight Part 1 Max and Kessa were fighting in the yard. They had been fighting for hours and quite the crowd had gathered to watch them. Neither of them spoke as they fought. No battle noises.

Once there was Darkness
Chapter 51 Kessa’s house on the mountain became their getaway. Anytime either of them needed a break, that was their retreat. Petro came running up to Kessa.

The Snake and The Rabbit
Wiltshire A few mornings later I came down stairs to find Holmes in his dressing gown. The room filled with smoke. I coughed as I crossed the room to open a window. “Holmes, this atmosphere is positively toxic.” He continued to exhale clouds of smoke. “I am sure the fire services will be here presently.”Continue reading “The Snake and The Rabbit”
