Fatal Reunion 
by Lee Mitchell  

We agreed that our love would endure until the end of time, our souls bound for all eternity by those two simple words, “I do.” For better or for worse. In sickness and in health. ’Til death do us part.

And ’til death do us reunite.

Our love gave me the strength and the will to seek you out from beyond the vastness of infinity, this unending plane where I was meant to rest and pause and know everlasting peace. But how could I be at peace without you by my side?

I defied all odds, transcending time and space, to find you and bring you here. I gathered my new friends, planned a party to mark the occasion, and tore you from that old, tired realm which held you from me. It took nearly all that was left of my being to finish the feat, nearly impossible, but somehow, I managed. Somehow, love prevailed over even death itself.

So now, after all I went through to get you here, why do you do nothing but scream?

More from Author Lee Mitchell:

Alisha Brown led a mundane life until the day monsters started trying to kill her and random strangers began to shy away from her in awe.

All hell broke loose, quite literally, after Randy Thomas turned right on Main for Honey’s instead of making a left for home and then murdered his beloved wife in an unusually gruesome way. Escaping police and stopping traffic in New York City with a gas-spewing tentacle erupting from his mouth, his fears are confirmed: That one small backslide would serve as the final tipping point for all mankind, inviting in a timeless destructive force that would lead him to the frontlines of the war to end all wars.

A growing population has succumbed to their worst fears, some transforming into dreaded fictional monsters—leaving the streets flooded with vampires, werewolves, spontaneously combusting humans, and other horrors—while others have become angels and demons determined to fight in the holy war they believe is upon them.

Questions soon arise as Randy’s and Alisha’s roles in this bizarre apocalypse become uncertain. One is a professed sinner, the other an asexual virgin. Each has been touched by the hand of fate, and each believes they are humanity’s last hope. But belief can be a funny thing…

The Divine Darkness is the first installment of The Divine Darkness apocalyptic horror trilogy.
