A lonesome soul wandering through years of development, years of pain, years of light. A lonesome soul in disguise, hidden from guilt, hidden from consequences of evil, consequences of death. Will this lonesome soul ever be forgiven for his wrongdoings? Or will he forever be hunted down by his past? 

This story follows the life of James Wilson and the struggles he is faced with from the moment he was thrown into the world. He grows from a weakened soul to a scarred creature, fleeing from the traumas of a cult upbringing, abandoning his only love, Nancy. This all leads to his venture to California throughout the mid-1960s, admiring the real life, the movement of peace, hippie revolution, the secrets of the streets during the night, desire and lust, and the sight of the snake. Pain, addiction, pleasure and love only follows behind, sending James into a spiral of obsession.

The Trial by Wolvestime
37 parts Complete Mature
London 1888. The ripper is on the loose. Everyone despairs not knowing who hides behind the persona. Meanwhile four strangers lives intersect at this impossible moment in time. Each one of them carries a secret, the others cannot know. But time is precious and dirty business threatens to destroy their lives. What burdens do they carry? And how will Jack get to them all? Old summary: She loved his paintings. Always beautiful, a fever dream, red dots and black holes. Men on horses riding to the sunset or death as an angel before the Lord. He loved her but he did not understand how to love. He shivered at the thought, broke at the seams. And in the corners where the city lights could not fall no more, there he fell. The other one. He fell into a habit. Fell into blood. Fell into lust. Until he reached nirvana. ▪Finished

"Why are you acting so weird?" "Well, you're kind of naked." I say matter-of-factly. "Nothing you haven't seen before." Sky says casually. I feel a blush rise to my cheeks. He does remember. Sky never talks about that time. "You remember." I mumble. "Chase, I can't hear you from all the way over there.." I walk into the bathroom feeling awkward and like I'm intruding on his privacy or something. But Sky just keeps on showering like nothing's going on. × × × Chase and Sky had sex. It happened two years ago on a whim. Sky (who's also the father of Chase's niece) seems to have forgotten all about it. Chase definitely hasn't.

"Why do you allow me back into your life? You know I'm only going to push you away again," he said with all honestly, not to hurt her, but because he knew how he behaved with her. And a part of him doubted that he would change. Even for her. "Because one day, you are going to realize what we have, and you won't push me away," she answered. It's funny how life can be so perfect one moment, and so awful the next. Other people are usually the cause of this back and forth, but what if it was just one person? One who couldn't love themselves, so they were incapable of loving others? John and Arianna have known each other since they were young. Friends, lovers, enemies: they have been through it all. They go through years of ups and downs, the losses, the gains, the middle ground as they try to find their way. Find their life. Will they be together? Or will circumstances keep tearing them apart? Only time will tell if their love will remain... Unrequited.
