I’d been sneaking around for nearly two weeks now, hoping to catch Vincent and Lucrecia together. I was going to expose Vincent’s secret if it killed me; I couldn’t let this go on. And so it was a small triumph when I found them together in the lab after hours, her seated at her desk, [...]

I woke to the smell of soy sauce and teriyaki. I was still half asleep and I wondered who was cooking before I tried to get up and realized I couldn’t move. The sound of gunshots and broken glass came rushing back and I almost threw up.

“It’s your turn.”
Gast looked away nervously. “I don’t really think she’s ready, Hojo.”
“Ready? If anything, you’re running late with Ifalna. There’s tradition to uphold!”
“Tradition? I don’t…”
“You don’t think? What would Professor Hollander think of you waffling? You know everyone experiments on their wife. Hollander did, Valentine did. I’ve been stalling for you, but I don’t [...]

“I’m sorry, I can only rent you separate rooms unless you’re related. It’s a local law,” the innkeeper apologized.
“But we don’t have enough mon–” Goku started to whine, but Sanzo thwacked him into silence.
“We’re brothers,” Sanzo said evenly.
“You’re all… brothers…” the innkeeper repeated, raising an eyebrow. He’d learned a long time ago that questioning guests [...]

The worst part was always waking up. It was that half-lit place where he still thought of himself as the hero, but saw the hospice around him and didn’t understand.

So now you know why he walks with shoulders bowed and shuffling steps – because of the wings and responsibility he bears. He carries his hands behind his back to hide the blood on them. He is an old man, and he has served many masters. He has served all of them well. This [...]
