Vampires have been sprouting up in unusual places since the release of Stephenie Meyers Twilight Saga. I recently received a report as of yesterday by a girl only identified by her first name of Taylor that vampires are roaming the halls of Westwood Middle School in Gainesville. I usually don't pay much attention to such reports but given the specifics of the case has given me pause for thought. Just what do these vampires want? She stated they were particularity concerned about their sharp teeth, hopefully they have good dental hygiene habits. Ensuring … [Read More...]
Hunt for the Skinwalker I was gripped with fear at what I was watching in the headlights of the car. At first it seemed to be a un-clothed man shrouded in some sort of an animal hide. A violent storm was raging and the rain was falling in buckets as I concentrated focusing my eyes in on the figure not ten feet in front of the car. There was a flash of light and what followed can only be described as 20 minutes of pure terror that left both myself and my vehicle in shambles, we both were a total wreak. There have been countless stories about … [Read More...]

About the cold ones who were different from the rest of their kind, who came to Quileute lands in hopes of forging a new life. The Quileutes didn't take that very well, and a treaty was made - albeit against the Quileutes' better judgment. The cold ones were our pack's entire reason for transforming, after all. … [Read More...]
