PRL Serials

  • Issue 5, Vol. II – July 12, 2016

    We’re back and have we got some serials for you. It’s really hot this summer, I suggest you pour a cool glass of tea (or lemonade, but don’t mix them because that’s pretentious), put your feet up, and relax into the continuing adventures of your favorite PRL characters. It’s a nice break from all the…

  • July 9, 2016

    Apparently, I just took the week off, which honestly wasn’t the plan, but here we are. Look for Issue 5 tomorrow and, hey, chins up out there folks. The news is terribly depressing, but don’t let it get you down. If you get sad, then the terrorists win and we don’t want that. I did…

  • 2. The Americans Part 1 and 3. The Americans Part 2 -Shield Wars 1: Free Radicals

    2.  The Americans Part 1 “They are many things,” says one Mars to a Brother, “naive foremost, unlike few others, On top for a moment because they are An ideal: the truest freedom humans know; Of course that comes with many caveats For, the price of freedom is freedom  Itself, but access to the pinnacles…

  • Diode Issue 2 – Crude (One-Shots)

    Following the shooting at the apartment complex where Ivan lived with his family, the landlord, a lady with a very short temper, stood in the doorway looking at the apartment where one of the tenets had been shot. There was viscera staining the carpet and though the crime scene cleanup crew would eventually make their…

  • Issue 4, Vol. II – June 27, 2016

    Did you watch the season finale of Game of Thrones? Holy crap I’m excited about next season. If you haven’t seen it, you don’t have to worry about spoilers from me, but watch it immediately. Now that the season is over, there’s nothing worth watching and we can all turn off the TV until the…

  • The Magician 4. Tied Down and Bound 

    When he comes to again, Kevin is strapped to a bed and looking up into lights that make him feel like he has woken up during surgery. He can’t move anything because of the straps on his wrists and ankles, at his knees and elbows, around his pelvis, torso, neck and head. And there is…

  • Diode Issue 1 (Part 2) – Anode (One-Shots)

    As Clay was giving the punching bag his all, in a different part of town, a young man named Ivan was preparing to leave the local hospital where he gave his time as a volunteer. He’d been there all night with an old man who’d suffered a heart attack and had no family to comfort…

  • The Black Side of Paradise 3. Bradford (conclusion)

    Bradford knew one thing, he would not live another day in his mother’s house and he would find a place to live that suited his sensibilities. Maybe there was a nice mansion in a forest of well groomed trees and a garden maze that he could find to live. But when he tried to run…

  • The Magician 3. Old Haunts

    Throwing knives at targets that he’d created out of thin air seems to have sharpened Kevin’s reflexes (the word play is very much intended). The section of the street he’d created to divert a car speeding on a street where he found himself while trying to avoid a conversation with a statuesque woman named Anish,…

  • Issue 3, Vol. II – June 20, 2016

    It’s me, the mercurial editor of the PRL Serials here to present the continuation, and eventual conclusion, of Volume II. I won’t bore you all with apologies, they’re so 2015 anyway, and we’re just going to forge ahead. It’s been an interesting time for me, and here at the PRL, and I hope we can…
