Crossing Over

By William Dilbert

Three lives. Three characters. Three tales of supernatural intrigue and thrills.

Sit back with "A Game of Cards" and experience the moment an unnamed character, not much different from you or I, gets a sorely needed break from an otherwise distressing day. Nothing like a nice game and sweet little guest to put that twinkle back in your eyes.

Descend down a path of victorian devilry with the British socialite Arden as he writes about the triviality of mortal life, only to be interrupted by an uninvited guest intent on collecting a debt. "Dragon's Den" signals a descent from seemingly innocent stories and benign characters to a tale of ancient rivalries and powers that stem from beyond the pale. You never know what skeletons are hidden in a person's closet.

Like any good story, we must come to the end. And the end is where "Shade" begins. A cautionary tale of the depths of human sadness, "Shade" follows the night of an old and jaded man by the name of Ackerson. Look through a small window into the cold and empty corridors of his long-quiet home. You might even catch a glimpse of the monsters we make ourselves.

Shadows danced across my nose. Just as quickly as the formless shapes ran and faded, my fingers struck the light switch. As usual,
