    Prologue

  3. Chapter Two: The Incubus in the Tea Room Sunday morning dawned grey and reluctant over Leamington Spa, as if the weather itself was still recovering from the previous night's chaos. In the Hartley kitchen, the situation had... stabilized. Sort of. Simon was still tied to the chair, though the ropes had been loosened to something more symbolic than practical. He'd stopped trying to launch himself at Matt approximately four hours ago, around the
  4. Six months after surviving a demonic body swap, the squad is back—and Leamington Spa has a love problem. When a coven of witches accidentally fuses with a succubus, their broken spell unleashes chaos: a Deliveroo driver turned Regency suitor, a wrestler feeding grapes to the wrong boyfriend, and two Charlies fighting their own impossible attraction. Now the demon hunting squad must stop the Love Eternal Project before the whole town drowns in romance. Featuring cursed love potions, extremely polite demonic possessions, and the most awkward school day ever.
  5. Chapter One: The Incident at the Royal Pump Rooms Six months. It had been six months since Taine had traded his immortality for a teenager's life, six months since Tyler had given up his family's protection pendant, six months since the Hartley kitchen had become the unofficial headquarters of Leamington Spa's only (and thoroughly unqualified) demon hunting squad. Six months of chaos. Six months of takeaway containers. Six months of Matt enthusiastically categorizing every

    This is the horror of a thing like this. I always loathe the type of reality show that relies on the ignorance of their participants, the ones that are designed to humiliate and belittle people. I Am not a proponent of Reality TV as a whole, i think it's insidious, and it's only a matter of time till someone starts to apply this formula without consent.

    Tim is getting there, he's on the right track. And Justin has an idea... Tide is slowly turning, but it is turning.

    morning folks I get asked, "what about the teachers?" My reply is: "What makes you think the teachers don't know already?"

    Chapter 14: The Despair Protocol The world had not just become hostile; it had undergone a fundamental shift in its very physics. For Sam Evans, the air in Hilcrest High had become a thick, viscous fluid, each step a laborious push against a current of silent judgment. The hallways, once a neutral landscape of lockers and scuffed linoleum, were now a gauntlet meticulously designed for his own erasure. This wasn't the chaotic violence of a bully in a stairwell; this was a cold, syst

    I just treat it like a job, and push myself to do as much as I can. It may not all be the greatest, I know some of my work is a bit Pulpy, but i love what I do. I am currently writing: Knight in the Darkness About a blind Squire mistaken for a Lord in the First Crusade (It is historical fantasy, so there is magic, fantasy tropes, and a bit of good fun with Ser Val... A woman who is LEGALLY a man because the King doesn't want to admit a girl beat up all his best knights. She doesn't know what to do about this. A broke hedge Knight, who's squire looks richer than the does. And another squire called Lloyd who is far too old to be a squire, and tried to keep said others out of trouble. AND A DOG just for @drpaladin

    They haven't quite gotten as far as finding one yet... though Raid DOES have a supernatural division... I enjoy book two more than book one, it's got the beats down, and connects more with the absurdist nature of the demon culture. That and I had a bit more fun with it. Simon is a standout character. Lynix is amazingly good fun. And Chloe get's her regency style, Bridgerton romance... with a polish delivery driver for Diliveroo.

    That's my little book. Please like, review, recommend (Black button beside where you like the chapter... it looks like a white medal on black) I hope you enjoyed it... Next up is : Charlie vs the Coven of Love. It's utter chaos so...
  19. Chapter Fourteen: Epilogue — The Demon Hunting Squad (Don't Tell Mum) Three months later, the Hartley kitchen had become something its architect had never intended: a functioning family space. The change was subtle but unmistakable. The granite countertops were still pristine, but now they held a permanent ring from Chloe's coffee mug. The table that had once seated eight in sterile silence now groaned under the weight of textbooks, laptops, and at least three half-empty tak

    To be fair I have an annoying water stain in my mudroom that has been bothering me... so, you know... that might be the culprit

    GM : Game Master. I imagine this much like a roleplaying game, where instead of characters, there are real people being directed. There is a wonderful Japanese TV show with a similar premise of challenge cards, just far more dystopian and a lot more murder. https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=Alice+in+Borderland&ved=2ahUKEwjogLf-_6iTAxXxZkEAHQ8xOc8QgK4QegQIARAB

    the mistake they're making is giving Tim a way up the ladder. Once he begins figuring out how all of this works, he starts to break it. Justin, however, needs to start paying better attention.

    Chapter 13: The Summit The ceiling tile had a brown, map-like stain in the corner that Tim hadn't noticed the night before. That was the first thought. The second was the ache in his back from the too-soft mattress. This wasn't a bad dream he'd just woken up from. This was the second morning. The silence in Ben's room wasn't the stunned silence of shock; it was the hollow, accepting silence of a new, worse reality. He was still here. He was still homeless. He rolled over
