Stories – The Center World

Dead Light

Happy Halloween! This year, I have a story written by Di, featuring Iris & Phoenix, to present for the occasion.

Sometimes things felt just plain wrong.

Not wrong like realizing too late that you answered incorrectly on the test, or say the wrong thing in front of your girlfriend’s parents. Wrong with a capital w, and it was persistent. Not constant, thank god, but close enough to it that it was starting to make everyone feel on edge. Iris was agitated, tapping the tips of her pointed fingers on the edge of the boat, while Phoenix kept himself busy leaning against the mast, flicking a lighter open and closed with his thumb. He should have retired below deck with Midnight, away from the churning visuals of the water around them, but neither spotwould lessen the misery brewing.

In case you missed it, the short comic story Incirrate’s been completed!

Di handled the writing & the concept art for Three-Band (the alien critter), while I handled the thumbnails and comic art.

It was a lot of fun, and it’s something we’ll likely do again, so I created an archive page for all future one shot stories.

Linework by Di with my colors applied.

He shoved a box with a pink slip laying on top into my arms. oculus1 Read More
