Lance, a skilled investigator hailing from the bustling city of London, finds himself entangled in a web of murders that seem to have no discernible pattern. In order to get to the bottom of this mystery, he's forced to work with an old friend. But neither of them are willing to reveal the deep-seated secret they've kept from one another, one that could potentially upend not just their work but the very fabric of the world as they know it. As they race against time to solve the murders, they must also grapple with the weight of their hidden truth, one that could trigger an all-out war between the gods, threatening the balance between good and evil and everything that lies in between.
So, I wrote this back in 2015ish, and I have decided to revisit it and fix it. It really needs some TLC, so please bare with me. THIS IS FOR ADULTS ONLY

His best friend, officer Chris Wells is dead and George finds himself with the body and no memory of how. Only a tape recorder and a locker key for a clue.

Kidnapped from his real family to be experimented on. George gets dangled on strings by the killer puppet master and taken on a haunting journey never to be forgotten again.

Killing Is Thrilling
'The night was alive with silence. I moved through it like a shadow, black leather gloves tight on my hands, boots soft against the grass. My gas mask hid my face, leaving only darkness where my eyes should be. The world narrowed to a single point: the house ahead. Tonight, it would belong to me. The farmhouse rose stark and white beneath the moonlight, silent except for the occasional grunt of a pig or the low hum of a cow. They were unaware. They were insignificant. I crouched behind the hedge, eyes scanning, senses alert. Every detail mattered: the flicker of light across the curtains, the faint rustle of movement inside, the way a shadow shifted across the floor. She was there. Oblivious. Popcorn in hand, murmuring to herself as the television flickered. Every motion was a note in tonight's symphony, and I was the conductor. I studied her, cataloging. Timing. Patterns. Fear. She didn't notice me yet, and that was perfect. Patience was everything. One sound, one misstep, and it could all unravel. I rang the doorbell once. Silence. Again. Still nothing. She flinched slightly, just enough to make my pulse quicken. Her small reaction was delicious. A sudden movement in the yard caught my eye-a neighbor's dog barking at some unseen intruder. Its voice was loud, startling, but contained. I froze. My breath slowed. Patience. Observation. The dog's curiosity would pass. I remained still, hidden in shadow, letting the moment stretch. The animal lost interest and padded away. Perfect. I moved to the back of the house, hammer in hand.' ...Complete![A Rainy Day [COMPLETE]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/156288380-256-k432772.jpg)

Midnight Whispers ||18+
My plan was to run away from him. He's a psychopathic monster, but you know the thing about monsters? ~They always follow, They always haunt. They forever stalk, They never stop. ---------------------------------------------------------- He buried his face in my hair at the nape of my neck and whispered~ "Bad move, angel. You shouldn't have cared about him." With that, he fired six bullets into the man who was now lying on the ground with blood all over his chest. He fired one more time not moving away from me or even looking back at that man. He just killed him. "If any other man besides me has your attention, this is what they'll get in return." ---------------------------------------------------------- He started taking steps forward, not afraid of the gun I was pointing at him, and I started taking steps back, unable to shoot him. "You have 10 seconds to pull that trigger. If you don't, I'm gonna let you run, then hunt you down, break into your house, kiss you hard, rip off your clothes, and suck your tits until you beg me to fuck you like the good lil slut you are!" ---------------------------------------------------------- .A tale of obsession and payback.

BLEEDING HEART | ONC 2024
*ONC 2024 entry* **Round Two Ambassador's Pick** **Shortlisted** She's an angel of love; an ill-fitting name, as she's no angel. She strives for a world devoid of pain and sorrow. A world of love; of sex and debauchery without consequences. Unattached forever, she's spent millennia ensuring her world remains free of the chaos caused by heartbreak--a term unknown to the humans she oversees. And she'll do everything to keep it that way, at any cost. Meaning she'll kill any who have malice in their souls, to ensure the survival of those who are pure; their hearts red, the color of love. He's the first of his kind: a demon of heartbreak. New to the world, he's thirsty for love, for carnal relations, but craving to destroy it all once he's had his fill. He seeks despair, but not without having a little bit of fun on the way. He's sent above the surface by his king, to spread his disease, until he meets a feisty, sinfully sexy, devious damsel with immense powers. Her heart is so red, so pure, that he has to have it. To crush it. He makes it his goal to seduce her, trick her, and make her his first heartbreak victim. But she's not an easy one to toy with, as her heart isn't as pure as she lets on. *** ONC Prompts 35, 19, 46Complete
