114. Dust

The distant sound of approaching vehicles caused my ears to prick. 

"Vehicles are coming," I said, clenching the fingers on my newly regrown right hand, "We've got to go." 

It...

113. Azad

Eyes closed and heavy, the most I was able to do upon waking was remembering all of the chaos of what happened. Reaching the bunker. Being set upon by the Pied Piper officers. Xandra and I splittin...

112. Sweating Blood

Flames erupted in the corridor just as Azad, carrying me on his back and Xandra in his arms, bounded along it. Fresh searing pain. The shredded remains of my shirt along my back had been set on fir...

111. Just Burgess

Azad had loomed over me, yelling at me to change back to my human form. His skin had the same bright pink sunburnt hue to it, and his huge swollen muscles bulged, and steam continued to rise off hi...

110. Tension! Times Three!

Please don't let me down. 

This was the thought which rang clear in my mind as the beast I had become descended upon Azad. 

He nimbly dodged more of my swipes, backtr...

109. The Beast In Me

The officers wavered in the wake of Azad's declaration for the officers to drop their weapons

Then an officer, no older than twenty, who looked and sounded Mexican-American, began to speak up...

108 - The World's Greatest Hero

The sound of explosions and gunfire from somewhere within the factory I was already in told me the onslaught which had made Xandra desperate enough to cry out for help hadn't relented.

107 - Dragon Fire

No sooner had I bounded my way to the end of the next corridor, with a large set of black double doors rapidly growing larger on my approach, did the double-doors burst open with explosive force.&n...

106. Smarter, Not Harder

The Pied Piper Task Force jeep I had crawled out from exploded, lighting up the early morning sky with a great orange plume. 

Three more dead, I thought, as I ran.  2025-01-16 21:02:57 +0000 UTC View Post

Backstory Chapters, or Keep Pushing Ahead?

For this Patreon I am considering adding backstory chapters for characters like Tiffany, Blain, Robert Hoffman, Xandra, and more. They're outside Burgess's point of view and would work as self-cont...

105 - No Easy Way Out

Using my enlarged thigh muscles, I shot out of the bunker with as much force as I could muster.

The flashes of gunfire, not darts, but real gunfire, lit up the forest like a strobe l...

Chapter 104 - The Bunker

Although it was still night and several hours until dawn, the sound of the insects was a constant zipping to our ears, and was so annoying we were forced to reduce our heightened hearing t...

Chapter 103 - Elastic

We had taken some time to eat the last of the chocolate bars Xandra had stolen from the Putsley Bay petrol station. She threw her wrapper off the edge, watching it flip and twirl on its way down to...

Chapter 102 - Dump Heap

There was little more than barren earth on either side of the road. Somewhat to my relief, though I could see in the dark perfectly fine, Xandra and I didn't have to walk in darkness thanks to the ...

Chapter 101 - Surrounded

It became quickly apparent to me that Xandra was not satisfied with just coiling up and running at close to a sprinting pace, even after she had said she wanted us to push ourselves more than usual...
