The metro train rumbled as it made its way toward Western Brooklyn, the graffiti ridden stone walls flashing by as it shot past at blurring speeds. Most of the people seated in the moderately comfortable plastic benches of the locomotive were either looking at their phones, talking, or trying to […]
Shane tensed as he mentally steeled himself for whatever it was Maria’s power was about to put him through. His mind cycled through the possibilities before the world around him warped suddenly, as if he was staring into a giant fun-house mirror. But he was pleasantly surprised to feel nothing […]
There was always a certain rhythm or flow to a fight, and anyone could see it. As a spectator it was easier but with enough training and experience you could see it even while you were the one fighting. If trained properly, a person could remove any discernible pattern from […]
