Regrets collect like old friends
Here to relive your darkest moments
I can see no way, I can see no way

And all of the ghouls come out to play
And every demon wants his pound of flesh

Wednesday Morning
Mab's Apartment, and then out to the Dark Forest

I woke up this morning to voices in my apartment. And for some reason it wasn't strange at all- no, it seemed perfectly normal. Perfectly reasonable for my parents to be in my kitchen. Parents do visit their children occasionally, I know.

Of course, mine have been dead for more than half my life. So it was a little strange to see them again.

It was more disturbing that it took me nearly half an hour to realize that they shouldn't be here. The sodden clothes really should have given it away faster.

Went back into my room to dress. So very calmly, I put on my leathers and my coat. Gathered my kit and buckled on my sword. Went out and kissed them both, then left. Stood in the hallway a full minute before I could make myself move. Stood there and listened to the noises coming from inside as I looked out the hall window.

I distinctly recall there being no forest near my yard yesterday.


I'm out of the building and on my way into it before I even think to leave anything resembling a note.
Time to get to work.
