The Darkness of Light by luclelsea

This is just a collection of thriller, horror and mystery (short) stories. Some of them may be related, but they will mostly be one shots. Enjoy! [TW: blood, violence (and so on...)] Additional information: -There will be no regular updates. New stories will be added once in a blue moon. -These stories are written in so many various contexts and rarely read again with the necessary attention. Hence, I hereby ask for forgiveness for all the eventual grammar aberrations and unexplainable incoherences you may find. -Needless to say, everything you are going to read is pure fiction (or so it has been said).

The Big Run-Off (Holden Burke #1) by noelwhite66
21 parts Complete
**first runner-up at the 5th Ohana Awards (Mystery/Thriller)** "I've given a lot up, sure. We all give things up to different degrees." "How different?" "Depends. We're all different. We all have different things to give up." Holden Burke is a lot of things -- ex-football star, current private investigator, problem solver, and professional smart-ass. In The Big Run-Off, the seemingly simple case of a rich but morally bankrupt petrol tycoon and his wild runaway son gives way to a dark secret spanning forty years and a complex web of lies, blackmail, and murder. (cw: suicide, homophobic language, discussion of homophobic violence)
