  When we met, there was a new realm With you joining me at the helm Hand in hand we’d walk in the park Passionate kisses in the dark Ending the right that you’re called miss Beginning our time in wedded bliss All anew we hear the bells chime Creating what would be our time We’ll admit that it was hard work Doing everything that it took Love won’t die even when we’re old But that's a tale yet to be told And if I die before I wake My marriage vow, I didn’t break When I die, will you be alright Will you still be kept warm at night Buried deep, will you think of me Or fade into obscurity I know full well that thought is wrong Your love for me is just that strong So in Heaven I sit and wait For our first eternity date

  On this week's Character Corner, meet the Vampire Council member, the representative from Japan, Hideo Yamagata. A trained samurai, he is the voice of reason of the Council, constantly weighing the issues brought before them carefully and cautiously. 

  Two sides of the same coin, we are One with needles, the other bar Sadly, the syringe breaks the skin Wondering if it’s from my sin Both from backgrounds of love and hate Are both our addictions our fate Virtually, we spoke for hours Inside us, the demon cowers Waiting to strike when our guard’s down Feeding it more for it to drown Once in the veins, heroin flows The beast within suddenly grows A lethal dose that no one can see God, please help us, this cannot be She’ll never get to see Paris Thanks to our Border Tsar Harris Then thought I was forgotten Finding the news, feeling rotten Left in a world alone to face Feeling like I was a disgrace Now my lines are no longer blurred Craving alcohol is now cured At your low, why didn’t you turn Leaving me to face this fire burn Wishing we didn’t have this gene We miss and love our little bean

                                                              The Case of David Van Holden Val, the Vampire King of Compassion, was out on the hunt. He was looking for something to snack on as it had been days since he’d fed. As he shadowdanced across town, he finally stumbled across what he was looking for. Although it went against his new rules, he found himself, David Van Holden. He was busy striking his girlfriend for the umpteenth time. He made his way over to the abuser, he shoved him to the side, scared the living hell out of Jillian Wayans, causing her to run off. Furious, the so-called man stood up and got right in the face of the interrupter. Screaming at the blond-haired rescuer, he shoved him to the ground. Laughing at the so-called man trying to be a “tough guy,” the monarch jumped and slammed the weakling against ...

 

  A voice was silenced the other day, A chilling thought that fills with dismay One assassin's bullet takes a life, Leaving behind his children and wife Killed for his difference of opinion Just another Antifa minion It’s not hate speech when you disagree Try to convince us with your decree Who’s the fascist doing this to him Setting off laughter while others grim Acting like a spoiled child, you lash out, Never listening proceeds to shout Claim you hate guns yet hide behind But your side's understanding and kind You’re not a patriot or hero You’re a low-life coward, a zero We’re getting tired of all your shit Bitch and whining like some little twit You’re not woke at all, but fast asleep Look in the mirror, you mindless sheep It's really time you woke up this day Things in life won't always go your way The candle went out, but lit the flame In the end, no one will know your name Write manifestos that mean NOTHING Becaus...

On this week's Character Corner, meet the man-monster, Frederick. Created by Dr. Albert Gertner for the Nazi's, this gentle giant was deemed to ugly for the "Master Race" and is shunned by Himmler. He goes ballistic and kills the entire battalion that's stationed at the castle he's kept at when he finds out his friend had been murdered. 

  Our dear little baby is our second chance at hope His laughter helps heal the wounds that we once had to cope The smiles he shares can even melt the coldest heart His beautiful eyes showed that he loved us from the start Cute is the word when he dances on his tippy toes Even more so when together we rub nose to nose During the wintertime, his fingers will be gloved The warm feeling of our will let him know he is loved We will be there for our little guy, no matter what For whatever happens to him, our hearts will not shut Our love for him will shine even when times are darker Even when he’s older, he’ll be our baby Parker

  See the lonely teddy bear sitting on the lawn Covered in glistening dew right before the dawn Loved only by a special little girl Who used to have golden locks and a large front curl During the night, the chemo only makes her ill All the ruckus he made, and is sitting there still At times, this regal guy is a heroic knight Defending the fair princess with all of his might Sometimes they’re both a couple of trained super spies While on other days, the world’s greatest private eyes They can terrorize the seas on their pirate ship Or conduct an expedition on some space trip Judging her on her performance as a dancer These best friends are waging a war against cancer Their adventures are her sole means by which to cope He’s the one who gives her a single shred of hope She returns for that scary night is over now A look of pure love comes racing across her brow Comfort wraps up her heart when she feels his soft touch Funny how the smallest thing...

  This week's Character Corner meets Dr. Albert Gertner. Gertner was the scientist that Nazi Germany hired to create their own "Super Soldier." In the process, he made his own Modern-day Prometheus in the being of Frederick. 

    This Bonus Character Corner introduces you to Ian Jordan, the patriarch of the Jordan family. A hardworking family man, he is loved by his daughter, who calls him "Poppy," and his wife. However, their relationship has been strained ever since Elizabeth's mother died. Still, as hard as it gets, his undying love for his wife keeps him going. 

Greetings and salutations, friends,                 I bid you welcome from the hospital bed of love, and I was wondering what your thoughts are on this month’s work. We had "Symphony for a Sinner" for our tale this month, and for Sonnet Sunday, we featured two romantic poems. “How I Love Thee” and “Lillies in the Field.” Some fun facts about the poem “How I Love Thee”: it started as a song I wrote for the band I was in, The Vamp Tramps. Now, the lead singer and I became friends fast, but didn’t discuss the sound we wanted. I was in the mindset of a power bass, like Ozzy has, where the bass plays the melody and the guitar accentuates it. Well, I told Johnny that I wanted to sing that song in a certain way. I’m imagining piano, cello, and violin playing the music. Well, Johnny wanted to showcase that he could sing it, and I’d be impressed.             ...
