It's
now been over 7 years since the afternoon where Stephanie swallowed
my pet mouse Eddy, and I thought we'd put all that behind us until
recently. Steph moved out of home and began college not long after
that day, and now that she's graduated, she lives alone in a small
house in the city. I still live with our parents, but I've now
finished high school.
I'm
still a virgin, although I did have a girlfriend for a while. Her
name was Linda, and I thought she was the most beautiful thing in the

My
relationship with my older sister has always been strained. I know

quickly as possible. She waited in the hills outside and spied on the
fortress as henchmen came and left on missions. Once she was sure
that most of the henchmen had left the castle, she slipped through
the gate and entered.
The
entry chamber was lined with stone pillars and gargoyles, and a long
red carpet led to a stairway that spiraled up into

Since
Mia wasn't sure she would be able to defeat such a monster as Phoebe
even back in her own timeline, she decided to eat more powered people
while she was still in the future. It hardly mattered when the
timeline she was in was going to be erased, and taking lives was

She
was currently halfway between her time and the future where Phoebe
ruled, and she discovered by asking around and reading newspapers
that people here were
