Temptation

It’s funny. Not really though. Actually it’s quite… Disheartening? Frustrating? Humiliating? Yeah, I think those three cover how it feels to get up to the sounds of someone else’s music, watching them celebrate what should’ve, could’ve, would’ve been mine… had I not failed. Again. It’s a long, painful walk back up the ramp – Trying to focus on the steps before me instead of meeting…

On Edge

Ken Davison sits up and looks at the plain black and white analog clock on the dingy, dirt stained white wall. The time is 5:13. The morning sun is just beginning to vanquish the horrible night. He lets out a deep sigh before turning to add more weight to the bench press. It was unusual for Ken to be in the gym this early in…

… “Lucy?” “Mmmmmm” … “Lucy?” “Huh?” “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have woken you.” “…No, no… it’s fine. It’s….” … … “Lucy?” “What? Yeah, I’m up. Is everything okay?” “Yes.” “Yes… But?” “No buts.” “Do you want me to move?” “Of course not.” “Then what’s going on? Where’ve you been?” “I didn’t realize you’d be back so early. I went to visit a friend. I needed…

It was a couple of days before the next edition of UGWC Synergy, and Kyra had finally found herself booked – and not just the accompaniment to her fiance while he fought the two people they’d be facing together at Infinity. She wasn’t entirely complaining though. It gave her pause, and now that she finally had another match upcoming, and especially after her little sparring…

Last Week… (Continued from GC.2022.003) “All those…years?” Lucy murmured, her eyes flickering about the room around them, until they came to settle on Rogan’s face, still looking uncomfortable at his sudden admission. “Rogan?” But Rogan didn’t answer. Not right away, at least. The truth was, Rogan knew he could tell Lucy what happened. He knew he would, eventually. That was never in question. What was,…

GC.2022.003: “The ‘Psychopath'”

Once again, things had gone Lucy’s way as she stepped up onto the sidewalk in front of the Pink Pony Pub late on Monday evening. A quick glance at her watch told her that Monday had turned to Tuesday as she’d made her way back down to the Gulf coast. The lights were still on in the pub, and as tired as she was from…

The Message

The flight from Orlando to Denver has been relatively quiet. Ken, Kyra and Adina sit on pillows to try and make the otherwise uncomfortable sleep slightly tolerable. Sitting in the middle seat, Ken does his best not to move. With Kyra asleep holding his hand and her head resting on his chest. Adina was passed out with her head against the window. Their flight had…

GC.2022.002: “The Media Mogul”

Lucy wasted little time in getting back to Alabama after Synergy. To say that she felt weird being in Chicago while Rogan was hundreds of miles away in Alabama would be an understatement. But suffice it to say, the trip back down to the gulf would have gone a lot quicker and a lot less painfully if she would’ve been able to convince the Dark…

Lights Out

Ken Davison was in home mode, still recovering from the deathmatch against Ragdoll and Cervantes. Most of his time with Kyra Johnson had become monotonous, with them sitting at home and doing whatever training their bodies could handle on any given day. As it was, Kyra was off somewhere else in the house, having just argued with Ken about him trying to overdo it because…
