A novel by

 
 
The Acolyte

He never knew I existed.
And he sure as hell didn’t care when I showed up on his doorstep, either.
I only did it on a dare.
But I guess the hope was there that he’d see me and maybe want to be in my life.
I couldn’t have been more wrong.
He hates me with the fire of a thousand suns even though he doesn’t know me.
Maybe that’s just his personality, however, he’ll soon find out that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.
Let’s do this.

The God

Life was perfectly fine until some punk knocked on my front door.
He says he’s my kid and I’m assuming that meant I was supposed to fall to my knees and worship at his altar.
My knees hit the dirt for no one—not even the alleged fruit of my loins.
Besides, I’ve had someone else on my mind for a while.
Not that I’ve been able to avoid it. Ichabod mumbles about her in his sleep.
Maybe the kid wants to meet his auntie … maybe I can finally get some well-deserved revenge.
I can play faux daddy for a little while.
There’s a bigger prize at the end of this rainbow.
You can run, little girl, but you’ll never be able to hide.

The Lover

He looks just like him.
It’s uncanny and terrifying all at once because I’m afraid that he acts like him too.
Lakyn has to learn a lesson, and this was the only thing I was able to come up with to get him to understand that the world doesn’t revolve around him. That he
should care about anyone that cares about him.
I can’t help that I still love him.
Twenty years later and it’s only gotten stronger while my resolve has gotten weaker.
I wish Bea was here.
She always knew how to handle him.
I’m going to force Lakyn to make me a promise since he never goes back on his word.
And maybe, in the end, the three of us will be together again.
Ready to raise hell.
