Organ - Chapter 22

ORGAN Chapter Twenty Two Katie paced around the room with delicate steps to avoid the scratchy irritating carpet against her bare soles, Oscar disappeared that morning and had been gone all day, darkness was taking him from her once again and just at a crucial moment that she believed was the hill they needed to climb together, he had agreed to go with her to find a hospital and now once again he was missing in action. When she woke up that morning he was already gone, the room was empty and the covers had been pulled back from her leaving the cold air to wake her up rudely, she thought to herself on the possibility that sleeping in the same bed as this young hurt man might have been a terrible idea but as she had a restful night it seemed improbable that sharing the bed was a trigger for him.  “Here I go thinking I could send a man spiralling with a glimpse of my tatty pyjamas” she mumbled to herself as she chewed on her thumbnail and glanced out the window, it illuminated nothing...

ORGAN Chapter Twenty One Oscar woke before Katie, she was sound asleep snoring quietly into her pillow laying on her side facing his portion of the bed, the blankets between them had been kicked off at some stage and found their way back onto the floor. Between the gaps in the blinds, he could see the sunlight had not yet fully risen over the adjacent buildings that blocked out most of the light. Oscar watched her sleeping and could not help but imagine waking up like this in a different life, with her as his other, holding him intimately in the long hours of the night after he had been out working for himself just like his father taught him to strive after.  “Breed” the voice called out to him through his body.  Oscar was startled by an unfamiliar word in its vocabulary, but this one-sided dialogue was something he had grown to live with, in his worst loneliest moments he secretly longed for the company it brought despite the ramifications.  “Touch….Breed!” it called out...

ORGAN Chapter Twenty Oscar sneaked a peak through the blinds facing the hotels balcony walkway, Katie woke up at the sound of them moving against glass, looking up at him from the floor, her makeshift bed, he seemed vacant like a shirt dangling without body on a hanger.  “Oscar, are you okay? What are you doing?” Katie asked shuffling herself onto her side against the hard carpet. “Showing them it’s safe, they needed to see” he muttered into the glass. Katie saw a look in the corner of his eye that worried her intensely, it was neglected of everything that made this man himself.  “Who needed to see?” she asked wiping her forearm over her eyes to ensure she was conscious, and this was not some uncanny venture into dreamland brought on by these particularly unusual days, his lack of response only worried her more. “Please go back to bed Oscar, it’s still early. We can talk about it in the morning” she pleaded with her roommate hoping he would snap back into frame.  “Be quie...

It is hot. Let's get that out of the way, it is 32 degrees in parts of the UK and our country isn't built for it. Yes, I am boiling in my skin, and yes, this is worrying for the future summers (is it even summer yet?) as the temp continues to climb. Now lets stop talking about the fucking sun. Chapter 19 of Organ is available on the site for free, we are heading towards the final third of the book and I can see that the numbers are dwindling but steady. Just from views alone I can see that at least five people are religiously reading this book when the next chapter comes out, its pleasing to see some folks enjoying my writing. After this is finished I will be moving onto formatting and updating Bulldog 1 for the website, so stick around for more free daily stories. If you haven't already, check out Release and the short crisp sci-fi story I published on the site.  Every company online today wants to sell you something, or turn you into a product to sell to advertise...

ORGAN Chapter Nineteen Katie woke up early the following day, knowing it was essentially now or never if she was going to complete her recently acquired crusade to find Oscar and bring him back into the world of the living. Last night’s escapade through the vicinity of the degrading bus terminal, had led her to a rough in every sense of the word clue from a less than reliable source, now it was her obligation to follow up, do what the police are apparently failing to do in bringing Oscar home. Her car burst into life with a splutter of a low tank, the radio was still off after her need to calm down in silence on last night’s journey home, but today she was more equipped for an adventure into what she realistically understood could become a more dangerous hunting ground.  Before she left for the day Katie stuffed a shoulder bag with essentials for her day-out, some provisions for Oscar in case his health had deteriorated, blankets, some nutrient rich breakfast bars, a change of clot...
