Good & Evil Chapter 16 

January 4, 2017

Well now! Sounds like our guy is falling a little deeper into the depths of depravity, no? Openly acknowledging his attempts of deceit and manipulation? Ballsy move, if you ask me. What if these Overseer people busted his door down and found his journal? He’d be screwed, right? Not that he’s given them reason to, … More Good & Evil Chapter 16

Good & Evil: Chapter 15

January 4, 2017

Days and days of work. Raw hands, tattered hair, and dry, cracking skin. I find pause in my attempts to deceive my arbitrators. My plan to prove my purity has gone awry. The Overseer of my block is not content with the work that we are doing, and he takes out his frustrations on us … More Good & Evil: Chapter 15

Good & Evil: Chapter 14

December 30, 2016

Well well well, what have we here? Does he love her? What do you think? She’s going to be mine. Sort of an odd term to use, right? Almost sounds like he views her as property. Property he doesn’t want to share, as it seems. So, here’s what I wonder: does Mikal love Estella? How … More Good & Evil: Chapter 14

Good & Evil: Chapter 13

December 30, 2016

She’s going to be mine. I cannot stand the thought of Donavan having her. I must find a way to convince them that I have become Good. That I’m pure. Today I spoke with the Overseer. I told him how much I appreciated this process, and for opening my eyes. It was something I believe … More Good & Evil: Chapter 13

Good & Evil: Chapter 11

December 30, 2016

A curious thing happened today. I was visited by a Younger who had just completed his Filing. He has graduated from his childish status and was Filed Left to become a Contributor. I recall him approaching me this morning, slowly opening the door to my office as he peered inside with a strange glint in … More Good & Evil: Chapter 11

Good & Evil: Chapter 10

December 27, 2016

Almost makes you feel sorry for the girl, huh? Funny thing, love. It’s different in everyone’s eyes, wouldn’t you say? After all, are we sure our good friend Mikal here was intent on the benevolence of his little fling with Estella? Or did he just play the game the right way so he could land … More Good & Evil: Chapter 10

Good & Evil: Chapter 9

December 27, 2016

Oh, what shall I do?! There must have been a mistake. I cannot accept this. Mikal has been Filed left! I shan’t see him again, and my heart aches when I think of it. All this time we’ve spent in anticipation, patiently waiting for the day when we would be Filed together. How could this … More Good & Evil: Chapter 9

Good & Evil: Chapter 4

December 22, 2016

Here we are again. Told you I’d be your guide, didn’t I? Let me guess. You’re curious as to what the hell is going on. Well, here ya go. When earth was finally stripped of her last bits of natural resources, people descended into havoc. There was a several year period where human beings reverted … More Good & Evil: Chapter 4

Good & Evil: Chapter 5

December 22, 2016

I hate this place. Mother told me I’m being too harsh. I know better. This place was created out of fire and brimstone, I’m sure of it. Where else on this God forsaken planet can I go? It’s as if the entire world is brainless. The Filing was yesterday. I went Left.  At first, I … More Good & Evil: Chapter 5

Good & Evil: Chapter 6

December 22, 2016

Well he sure doesn’t sound happy, does he? Rightfully so, I may add. Not that my opinion matters, of course, but it’s there nonetheless. But I digress. After all, you don’t want my opinion, now do you? You want context. Here you are. After the collapse we spoke of previously, the world took awhile to … More Good & Evil: Chapter 6
