Elvey’s Adventures: The Black Bird

(Notice: Due to a busy schedule, I may not publish the next section of Elvey’s Adventures on Monday) Liam stared at Mr. Elvey. “You came!” He said, “I thought –” Elvey interrupted him, saying, “I’m not the Elvey that was just with you…” he added in a heavier tone, “And hopefully he’s not the man

Elvey’s Adventures: The Fog

Finished with following the instructions Elvey had given her, Rachel pressed the enter key, stepping back. Nothing changed. “What’s supposed to happen now?” Steve asked, looking at Elvey. “The entrance to the garden has opened,” he began. “The garden?” Steve interrupted, “I don’t see any garden – how could…” “It’s a complex computer system, designed

Elvey’s Adventures: Entering the Lion’s Den

Steve Bates took over driving, with Liam and Rachel asleep in the back, after 20 minutes of introduction and explanation. He did not have far to go, however. Driving along a road lined with several large, dull buildings, he peered on either side at the addresses as he drove. Then, with a double look, he

Elvey’s Adventures: Believing the Impossible

When Elvey awoke, his wound had been dressed. He was in Liam’s room, on the bed, there were sounds of wakefulness in the house, and Steve Bates was standing next to the lamp, rubbing his chin. Elvey looked at the clock. It was 3:40 in the morning. He’d been out for almost thirty minutes.

Rachel yawned, and then said, “I don’t suppose it’s possible for you to take the wheel for a while?” Elvey smiled. Before he answered, Rachel said, “If you’re not really here, how can you be sitting here?” “I’m not,” he answered, “And anyway, you wouldn’t want to be stopped for driving without anyone in the

Elvey’s Adventures: Overtime

“What did you think of Peterson?” Rachel looked at Elvey. She had examined the crime scene, examined the notes, returned to the station, and was now headed home. The rain had finally stopped. “Peterson?” She said, pausing a second, “He – seems nice. Sort of appeared out of nowhere, though. Is he an imposter –

Elvey’s Adventures: The Detective

The thunder rumbled overhead, causing the plaque hanging on the wall to rattle slightly. At the same time, there was a gentle knock. Detective Rachel Hughes looked up, but soon returned her attention to the report she was writing. Another thunderclap. This time it did not rattle the plaque. The knocking started again. This time,

Homespun Tabby Continuation

It’s been a weird week. Like…. “is it Thursday already?” sort of week.I think I’ve been busier too. It doesn’t feel like it, but I have a couple extra projects I’m working on currently, so it’s been interesting. Now, I could get carried away with complaining about or excusing why I haven’t done more, but

Elvey’s Adventures: Coward

Elvey opened his eyes and stared up at the house in front of them, opposite the garden. “It worked,” he muttered and took a long, deep breath. After a short pause, he stood, saying, “I suppose I have to explore every room, until I find the key.” “If it takes you that long to find

Elvey’s Adventures: The Garden

Elvey, his hand on the door, stopped suddenly. “Let’s see if this works again,” he said, a half-smile on his face. He focused on the door in front of them, not blinking. He remained that way for almost a minute, and then carefully opened the door. Instead of seeing a long hallway, the room where
