What Lives in the Sludge, Episode 9: Shattered These odd companions walk the line between cautious distrust and blind fumbling in the dark. They lack all the subtlety that they have been tasked with.

What Lives in the Sludge, Episode 6: Fire and Blood Mistakes are made in haste, but compounded in apathy. A lesson that these odd companions really should have learned by this juncture. No matter.

Others move to cling on to existence, caring not who gets in their way. Like us on Facebook: www.facebook.com/DemipiaT3A/ Follow us on Twitter for...
