With unmatched wit...

Caeli-Amur is a city-state where magic and technology are interchangeable; where minotaurs and sirens are real; where philosopher-assassins and seditionists are not the most dangerous elements in a city alive with threat.

But at night, the spirit of the ancient city comes alive, to haunt the old places."Nighttime in Caeli-Amur" is not about minotaurs or sirens, but about a family whose lives in this place are fat...

A man, haunted; some loch ness madness lurking beneath the scruffy surface. Rolling stones trip broken bones, a stitch won’t darn this time. Abandoned, a breath of freedom desired away from the fires of Hell. A disciplined panther stalking with bated breath; pounce, or pursue no further. Anguished cries, darkening eyes. My favorite zest.
