  • The Black Side of Paradise 4. Bradley

    If it’s true that a house can have a soul or a spirit, then the house Bradley inhabited after separation from his biological mother had a malevolent one that caused discomfort to most of the foster children who lived there over the years. Bradley did not experience this discomfort, and in fact, he felt a…

  • Made in America (Series 1) – Issue 13 – Maria

    It is true that we have dreams that we cannot recall. Some people claim to never have them, but there is no way to know if they are right. Maybe it is true that any time our bodies rest, our minds run wild through our subconscious, only, we are unable to remember those journeys and…

  • Made in America (Series 1) – Issue 12 – Magic in the Basement

    When Dr. Cousins walks into Eakran’s office and sits in front of Maria, he glances at her face as he flips through notes in a file. She is beautiful, he thinks, but no amount of beauty was worth compromising government secrets and he thinks about the careless security guard that had lost his job in…

  • Tommy Pine; Phantom Limbs – Eakran’s Experiments (One-Shots)

    Eakran’s patient, Tommy Pine, was a man who suffered pain in two phantom limbs. He had been at the IBF in Eakran’s basement for a couple months when Dr. Frederick Cousins and Dr. Donna Moss first transferred there from positions at the Mayo Clinic. Tommy lost his limbs in Iraq when he was stationed there…

  • Made in America (Series 1) – Issue 11 – The Alia

    Schizophrenia can be a scary diagnosis. Imagine being trapped inside a box big enough to stand in with no outlets to see the setting where your box is located, but with access to the sounds of the setting. Trapped in darkness, surrounded by sounds with no context, but not permanently trapped. Time inside this box…

  • Made in America (Series 1) – Issue 10 – The Inner Aliarum

    The inability to gauge the consequences of one’s actions, the impact of one’s words on others, is a symptom of Asperger’s, a condition on the Autism Spectrum. Those dealing with the condition often fixate on things, they memorize lists of names, or details from TV shows or books, and most others that encounter them, assume…

  • May 16, 2016 – Old Man Young and the Bronx Avenger Issue 8 Preview

    We’re almost there. It’s almost June and Roy is almost moved into his new house, so he’s settling back into his editor shoes. I’m excited for him, and for the future of the PRL Serials. We have a new headquarters in SC and I have a feeling that we’ll be dusting off the website soon.…

  • May 6, 2016 – Made in America Issue 3 Preview

    Did you read Staring Into the Sun? Have you been dangling on the Made in America cliffhanger from Issue 2? If so, I’ve got a sneak peek at Issue 3 that definitely won’t satisfy all of your curiosities, but hopefully it’ll hold you over until Roy lets us continue. (I’m being passive aggressive on purpose,…

  • May 4 2016

    You’ve all waited so patiently through our impromptu break, Roy sends his apologies, and we wanted to give you something to hold you over until our June 2016 start date. It’s been a hectic time here at the PRL. Things are changing for all of us, most notably our fearless editor. I won’t say too…

  • The True Start of Everything – to be continued

    The universe is expansive. It is teeming with life that owes it’s existence to the mysterious workings of Time and Space, and their child AEther, who made sentience to warp Time ever so slightly. It was a futile endeavor that led to the birth of complex systems created and organized by sentient civilizations scattered across…
