New Fiction 2022 - May
"The Ghost Birds" by Karen Russell (2021)
You see them when you look away.
The Bible, Douay-Rheims, Complete - "1 Kings" ed. Richard Challoner (1752)
Saul done fucked up and all of Israel pays the price. God really loves an underdog though, helping David survive and accrue power on the sidelines as he gets built up to be the good king.
The Bible, Douay-Rheims, Complete - "2 Kings" ed. Richard Challoner (1752)
This is some real Game of Thrones-ass Bible with the fallout from Saul's death and David's coming and going as he keeps having to fight off the Philistines and others. And I thought Kings was a 2-parter but now you're telling me there's ANOTHER TWO chapters of king-making?
Dracula Daily - "May" by Bram Stoker & ed. Matt Kirkland (1897)
My good friend Jonathan Harker is having a rough start to his summer.
"Gorn Trek" by dux (2022)
All of Star Trek is poorer for having not received a TV series following the continued journeys of Gorn.
Outer Wilds - "Echoes of the Eye" dev. Mobius Digital (2021)
I was sour over being made to dwell in the dark, but I understand now. The rest of it bowled me over and now I’ll gladly replay those segments with more appreciation. I can’t get enough of conspiracy board gameplay.
Aperture Desk Job dev. Valve (2022)
Yep, Valve needs to make more games.
Sitting dir. Emily Yoshida (2017)
Hold my hand and tell me of yesterday.
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness dir. Sam Raimi (2022)
Like: it's so weird and VERY Sam Raimi horror-goof. Dislike: too many moving parts and definitely hindered by MCU tie-in fluff. EEAAO is my multiverse of choice this season.
The Ancestral dir. Le-Van Kiet (2022)
You can’t run away when you’re chasing.
Petite Maman dir. Céline Sciamma (2022)
An understanding achieved is the greatest moment.
Firestarter dir. Keith Thomas (2022)
Control was the illusion. Now it’s chaos we seek.
Eraserhead dir. David Lynch (1977)
Motile horrors.
Videodrome dir. David Cronenberg (1983)
Ah, yes, absolutely long live the new flesh.
Men dir. Alex Garland (2022)
You almost got there.
Crash dir. David Cronenberg (1996)
Meet me on I-5 and I’ll show you something sweet.
The Bob's Burgers Movie dir. Loren Bouchard & Bernard Derriman (2022)
A feature-length pace isn’t always the way.
Goosebumps - "Stay Out of the Basement" (1996)
You know you shouldn’t go back for the dog.
Goosebumps - "Monster Blood" (1996)
Leave Aunt Kathryn to her hi-jinks.
Goosebumps - "Let's Get Invisible" (1996)
If we’re in it together then it might not be so bad.
Goosebumps - "The Girl Who Cried Monster" (1995)
Self-defeating prophecies.
Goosebumps - "The Ghost Next Door" (1998)
An eternity of repayment.
Goosebumps - "Be Careful What You Wish For" (1996)
Leave good endings alone when you bring them to TV.
Goosebumps - "The Werewolf of Fever Swamp" (1996)
If a howl works, take it.
Goosebumps - "You Can't Scare Me" (1996)
The perfect girl is real actually.
Goosebumps - "One Day at Horrorland" (1997)
You had to take it too far.
Goosebumps - "More Monster Blood" (1996)
A light jaunt through 1970s TV set design.
Goosebumps - "Scarecrow Walks at Midnight" (1996)
Nope.
Goosebumps - "Go Eat Worms" (1996)
Perhaps the most awful notion.
Goosebumps - "Ghost Beach" (1996)
Just stick to nice hotels.
Goosebumps - "Return of the Mummy" (1995)
Story so nice they did it twice.
Goosebumps - "Phantom of the Auditorium" (1995)
Not the dark and handsome stranger you’re looking for.
Como Dice el Dicho - "Muerto el perro se acabó la rabia" (2019)
Except I wouldn’t even want a dog.

Daily Kaito Death Wish: I want to attach firestarters underneath his windows, all attached through the inside of the house, then I shut the windows and press a remote detonator to make them all alight at once. The impact will break his windows, bringing a rush of cool air to further fuel the fire. Obviously he'll be inside the house when this happens.

FFXIVWrite22 - Cutting Corners
“You know you don’t gotta read that thing, Ghisy. Priest still gives you food whether you know the answers or not. Pa’s been using my copy for firestarters and Brother Marcel aint even noticed.”
Ghislain ignored the younger boy, hunching over his battered copy of the  Enchiridion and trying to let the words on the page drown out all else.
An older boy spoke. “Aw, but Lil Ghisy aint in it jus’ for the free grub. He wants to be the one chosen to go study with all them fancy nobs too soft to hunt dragons. Can’t go cuttin’ corners if you wanna get all them headpats and The Fury’s ticket outta the Brume.”
“Oh, his pretty face already punched his ticket, me ma says.” An older girl well on the way to a total transformation into Her Ma cut in. “One of them nobs liked his look. Offered to buy him up as a plaything for their son. Parents’d be fools to turn that down, all the mouths they ‘ave to feed.”
Ghislain snapped the book shut and ran off down the alley. Maybe the tannery would prove a quieter place to read. And leave a less foul stench in the air than all this gossip.
~
“I’m bored, Boy!” Another wad of paper landed atop the page as Ghislain worked, smearing the ink and assuring that he would need to start anew yet again. He closed his eyes and let out a slow breath letting every hint of annoyance leave his expression before he lifted his face to meet the gaze of the sole heir of house Malveaux.
“Apologies, Master Theoren.” Ghislain kept his voice as carefully neutral as possible. “Perhaps if you were the one writing the essay, the process would be more engaging for you.”
“You’re the one who’ll take the lashings if the tutors think I’m slacking.” Theoren answered with a smug little smile. “Only fair I let you be the one to make the case for how much I’ve learned, hmm?”
“As you say.” Ghislain rose to fetch another sheet of parchment to begin the forgery anew. Would not do to have the work submitted in his own hand, after all. Or to ask the little lordling to put forth even the minimal effort of copying the essay over himself.
Theoren intercepted him, placing a thick arm between Ghislain and the shelf. “I’m bored,” he repeated. “Come outside and spar with me.”
Ghislain’s eyes fell to floor. He knew an order when he heard one, and yet. “A sword is a knight’s weapon, Master Theoren. I am common born. It’s not-”
“It’s as appropriate as I say it is, Boy!” Theoren cut him off, the arm that was barring him from the shelf now caught around his shoulder and steered him toward the courtyard. “Besides, it’s not as though I’m teaching you properly. I just want something to practice against that’ll hit me back. Or try to.” The last was said with such snide confidence that Ghislain felt himself prickling and had to push the feeling down hard though he found that this time it would not stay.
As he was forced into the courtyard. As Theoren selected swords for them both and tossed Ghislain his weapon in a way that would ensure he could not catch it without risking a cut and so must scramble to gather it from the ground while the lordling snickered at him. As they took their stances and that insufferable smile remained on his daily tormentor’s face. The anger would not stay down. It flashed in his eyes and lashed out with his blade, scoring the first touch of the match in the form of a clean slice through the right sleeve of Theoren’s jacket, leaving it hanging loose, a hindrance to the movement of his sword arm.
“Lucky shot,” Theoren sneered, shifting his sword to his off hand with a grin. “But if you’d like me to make this more fair..”
Ghislain’s blade quickly shut his mouth, making the same cut on the left sleeve before he’d even fallen fully back into stance. Theoren angrily ripped both sleeves all the way off with some effort and reset position. A dangerous heat simmered in his eyes, letting Ghislain know that the first hit he allowed his young master to land would not be cutting cloth.
The fight began in earnest, a blur of thrusts and parries, footwork and feints. Ghislain had never been formally trained in the blade but he’d watched the lessons his young master attended with the same care and attention he gave to all his studies and this was not the first time he’d been forced to play unwilling training dummy to a spoiled brat with a careless sword. He’d learned quickly. This bout was not overlong. It ended with Theoren’s blade on the ground and Ghislain’s leveled at his throat. A long moment passed with their eyes locked before Ghislain stepped back, lowering his sword.
Theoren closed with him, hands balled into fists and Ghislain braced himself to try and take the inevitable blow with grace but it did not come. Theoren stepped back, eyes on the blade still in Ghislain’s hand. “The sword is a fool’s weapon, anyway,” he spat. “It’s spears that kill dragons.” And then he was gone, leaving Ghislain to collect and replace the weapons. He was just turning to gather up the remnants of those finely stitched sleeves when he found someone else was already picking them up. It was Laurent, House Malveaux’s Swordmaster.
The man looked him up and down appraisingly. “Unpolished,” he finally said. “But the basics are solid enough. Meet me here after dinner in the evenings and I’ll see if I can’t make something more of you.”
“But Master..” Ghislain stammered. “I’m common born and my duties are..”
“I know you’ll cut no corners in your other duties, young man,” Laurent smiled at him with more than a hint of fondness. “And this one may prove your most vital. With the master you have? One of you will certainly need to know how to properly wield a sword.”
~
His lungs burned in the frigid air as he rushed up the hill. The unknown assailant was just lifting his odd cylindrical weapon again as Ghislain reached him, a slice of his blade knocking it from the man’s grip and a second slice opening his throat. He dropped gurgling to the ground and Ghislain kicked the weapon out of crawling reach before turning to slide and stumble back down the hill begging the Fury for mercy every ilm of the way.
The Fury offered him none. There at the base of the hill was Theoren, eyes wide open and seeing nothing, the hole in his chest steaming in the cold. Dead. In an instant.
Ghislain dropped to his knees, screaming out his anger and frustration. His home, his life, every dream he’d had or lost was gone. He should have died for his master’s sake and that error would be corrected for him the moment he returned, with worse to fall on his family. Lord Malveaux would want back whatever coin he’d paid for him. And they would not have it to give.
The realization settled on him, first as lead but then, strangely, as a wild sort of fluttering hope. Far better for him to have died here. He looked back up to the dying man on the hill. A man with hair the same color as his own and built much the same as well. Perhaps the Fury had some mercy for him this day after all.
The man had no struggle left in him as Ghislain stripped him, replacing the rough leathers with his own thickspun travelling clothes. He was likely already dead by the time Ghislain hefted the weapon the man had used to kill Theoren and pointed it down at his face. Just one little movement of the finger. All the effort it takes to end a life. Or start a new one.
With that corner decisively cut, Ghislain returned to the chocobo nervously dancing by the roadside. The bird had always liked him more than Theoren anyway. It wouldn’t complain. He hauled himself into the saddle and urged his new mount into a run towards anywhere but here.

A Note from the Author
Ten years.
God damn.
On July 31st 2012, exactly ten years ago to the day, I posted the first chapter of Digimon Inferno to Fanfiction.net. It was my first attempt at writing something for the web, and my first time being actively involved in a fandom of any sort, small and niche as it may have been. I’d crafted plans for fake Digimon stories before, but for  the first time I felt I could make this work; I finally had a plan for a full 50 episode epic much like the ones I’d grown up watching in the official series, and I was curious and hopeful to see how far I’d get.
And well, here we are. Over 150 chapters, over 750 screenshots, over 1 million words. How.
A lot can change in ten years. I started an engineering degree, and finished with a 2:1. I got the dream job I’d wanted since I was a child, and then moved on after a couple of years once I realised my dream job wasn’t what I thought it’d be. I since became a fully-fledged electrical engineer working in nuclear fusion. I learnt to drive (after four attempts). I moved out of my childhood home and into my own rental place. I’ve lived through years of political turmoil. And a global pandemic. I lost my aunt, and my stepdad. I struggle daily with anxiety, depression, and the issues that come from being on the autistic spectrum, and I haven’t even turned 30 yet.
I also taught myself to play the saxophone, and got myself a little garden space out front where I grow herbs, cucumbers and tomatoes.
Life is a lot. It’s scary, it’s horrible, it’s awesome...it’s a lot.
And yet, this silly little story has been a constant throughout all of it. Right from the early days of tropey characters, wonky art and plotholes, all the way through to now with ridiculously overambitious plots, far too many characters...and plotholes. And I’ve loved every minute of it.
This has been the biggest endeavour I’ve ever worked on. It’s made me laugh, it’s made me cry, made me think, rage, scream, cheer, question my own mental health and outlook, and it’s made me write and draw things that ten years ago I could never have imagined doing. All spawning from a dumb anime for kids meant to sell virtual pets. And honestly, I wouldn’t change it for the world.
So thank you, every single one of you who’s engaged at any point during the past decade, and shared in this silly little story I have to tell. I hope you’ve enjoyed it, even as you sharpen your pitchforks at the deliberate pain and suffering I am causing to everybody within it.
After all, everyone needs the chance to pick themselves up after the fall, and find a direction in order to heal. Even if it’s a very long and painful road to get there.
And, well, as you might have gathered, we’re far from finished yet. I’ve still got another solid ten years of stories to tell, and I hope you’ll stick around with me through to the end.
As for now? I’m gonna be taking the month of August off so I can SLEEP. But rest assured, I’ll be back soon. Next time, it’s another glance into the past, and a journey with our three favourite commanders during their early years. See you in 2023 for Firestarters: A Digimon Inferno Prequel.
It’s a long old road, but we’ll still keep walking.
Take care, everyone.
~ Hawk ~
