The-Crawling-Death-Chapter-04

by webnovelverse — THE summer passed uneventfully, with no word from our tenants, ex- cept for the monthly remittance. And then, one morning late in October, as Jim and I were preparing to make a visit of inspection to several properties, I was called to the telephone, and in answer to my response a voice, which, in spite of its tremor and excitement, I recognized as Avery's, asked me to come immedi- ately to Hedgewood. It was not until we were in the car that I told Jim, who was driving, to head for Ormond's place, and…

TALKING-TALBOT-Chapter-04

by webnovelverse — One day not long before they expected to reach Havre, Talbot was taking his customary look at the horses when Harry Furness came to him and said: "May I speak with you, Mr. Talbot?" "Certainly." "I want to explain why I went out in the boat with you." "The truth, Harry ?" Harry flushed. "Yes, sir. The fact that I didn't try to deceive you when you asked me ought to show that I'm not a liar." "I don't think you're a liar; but on the other hand it would have been hard, on the spur of the…

TALKING-TALBOT-Chapter-05

by webnovelverse — Talbot walked slowly away from the house. He didn't doubt that he had been wise to refuse to be drawn into the scheme, whatever it was. It might be that the plotters would have been able to help him; they certainly had hindered him, but his judgment told him that he had acted wisely. The question now was, whether to go on without further thought of them, or to try to figure out first what the extent of their power was, and so be in a position to elude it. There was young Hopkins at the embassy ;…

The-Crawling-Death-Chapter-03

by webnovelverse — JIM sprang to his feet, and with a cry of rage threw the whole weight of his body against the heavy door. He was frantic with fury. I leaped upon him and by sheer strength carried him, kicking and cursing, the length of the hall where I threw him into a settee. "There, you confounded chump!" I shouted. "For two cents I'd punch your face in. What do you mean by disobey- ing orders?" We glared at each other for a moment, and then a sheepish look crept into his face. "I'm sorry, old man," he…

The-Crawling-Death-Chapter-02

by webnovelverse — THE exhilarating rush through the clean, sparkling air soon banished the senseless feeling of uneasiness I had been harboring, and I gave myself up to the enjoyment of the ride. Life may hold better things than a perfect going automobile, a good country road and a bright June day, but I don't know where they are or what. Hedgewood was situated about ten miles from town, but we reached our destination all too soon. As we approached the property we slowed down in order to get a better view. The land had a…

The-Crawling-Death-Chapter-01

by webnovelverse — THE JUNE breeze blowing softly through the open window dis- turbed the papers on my desk, and also my peace of mind. My office was hot and stuffy, and the cooling zephyr whispered of better things out of doors. With a sigh, I pushed back my chair and ruefully contemplated the un- answered correspondence on my desk. Across the way my gaze encountered the terra cotta facade and glaring plate glass of a hideous office building. Be- yond it, although invisible to the physical eye, were lush meadows and…

I-Won-Over-My-Yandere-Boss-Chapter-05

by webnovelverse — I bawled outside the operating room, almost in hysterics until my game-obsessed brain chimed in: If the Feverish Longing skin was available before the actual event date, Xu couldn’t possibly die, right? I scrambled for my phone. In-game, Hanhan lay unconscious, HP bar draining fast. I tapped him over and over nothing. Just when despair hit, a dialogue box popped up: “Are you willing to give your life for the one you love?” Without thinking, I hit “Yes.” Xu had just risked everything…

I-Won-Over-My-Yandere-Boss-Epilogue

by webnovelverse — The Soft-Hearted God I’m a bored god, just drifting around the cosmos, swapping stories with other immortals. One day, cruising by this little blue dot, I was startled by a wish so intense it almost pulled me off my starry ride. Curious, I peeked down. A human girl, Lin Qian was praying, wishing only for her Hanhan to live safe and well. I skimmed her life and saw immediately she and her beloved were meant to keep missing each other, condemned to lonely fates. That annoyed me, so, after giving…

I-Won-Over-My-Yandere-Boss-Chapter-04

by webnovelverse — I kept raising Hanhan; recently the developers even unlocked some new storyline missions. In those animated flashbacks, my cub appeared as a hidden, chronically ill illegitimate child lonely, sickly, cooped up in a grand villa, regularly subjected to medical procedures, and constantly bullied by older kids. The scene lingered on him gazing through the window his only view of the world so full of isolation and helplessness it stung. I glanced over at Xu reading, and couldn't help but wonder: If Hanhan…

The-Lucky-Little-Cat-Chapter-2

by webnovelverse — After a long stay, my belly doesn’t hurt so much anymore. My broken leg is slowly healing, and the bald patches are growing new, soft fur. The woman pays the man in the white coat again and says she’s taking me home. Lucky waves his tail at me through the glass door to say goodbye. This is my first time in a human’s home. The woman’s home is big and empty, but it smells nice—similar to her own scent, which feels a little familiar. She holds me in her arms and scratches my chin. It…
