O’Toole House Chapter 7

The next morning, Gabriella and Bradley were on their way back over to the O’Toole House. She drove this time, taking the back roads to avoid construction while Bradley went through some of the readings they’d gotten. “They’re a mess,” he said for the fourth or fifth time since she’d arrived that morning. “None of […]

O’Toole House Chapter 6

Gabriella had received an apologetic text from Amelia last night, saying that she needed her to take on some of Bradley’s paperwork when she got to work this morning. Yesterday he’d been pulled away to deal with yet another meeting that ended up lasting for nearly two hours, then had to chase down that case […]

O’Toole House Chapter 5

Gabriella had texted James a little while ago that she’d stop by on her way home, but it still felt rude to just walk into his apartment. So she’d knocked a couple times. But when he didn’t answer the door, she opened the door with her key and went inside.  “James?” she called. He didn’t […]

The next morning, Gabriella went to see James. Graham was working the day shift like he’d told her the other night, so she texted James to let him know she was coming, then headed over with a couple frozen containers of tomato and parmesan soup. He’d eaten it the other day when she brought it […]

A couple hours later, Gabriella was in the van with Bradley, heading down the highway into Fitchburg.

He didn’t seem like he wanted to talk and she didn’t blame him after those […]

O’Toole House Chapter 2

When Gabriella got to work the next morning, there was already a stack of cases on the printer in the living room. She walked in, cautiously called out a hello to the silent house, then went straight over and began sorting them. They were all legitimate, unfortunately. Everything was within northern Worcester County, everything had […]

O’Toole House Chapter 1

Gabriella hadn’t expected to be sprayed with so much blood, nor had she expected that blood to be teal. The creature it came out of hadn’t looked like anything too out of the ordinary, just an almost deer-like thing on the Fitchburg State University campus. In the van on their way to the site, Graham […]

72 St. Margaret’s Way Chapter 19

His hand was bandaged. That was the first thing James noticed as he woke up. His hand was resting on the pillow beside him, carefully wrapped in gauze. The drugs weren’t pulling him back down into the darkness now, the way they had as he’d come close to surfacing multiple times. But his body felt […]
