So...yeah; took long enough didn't it? XD Welcome to the first chapter of Purgatory Sweets - We Three Kings: The Book of Balthazar (and you though the last one was a mouthful).
Right; well to be honest I debated about posting this. I'm not sure I have the pacing down right or enough story hooks. So I was going to post it alongside Chapter 2 later in order to try and offer a bit more insight into what the hell is going on in this crazy tale.
But if you've read The Book of Melchior; then you might have a fair idea already. ^_~
As usual; read, enjoy, feel free to nitpick and critique it to bits. XD That's what it's here for. <3
And trust me...it's about to get a lot weirder from here on out. ^_~
(But just wondering; is this sentence missing a word??? "...and only then after trying to put it out any drop of free water..." Also, "grey" is the British form of "gray". Unless you did it on purpose. Then it's all good. :3 )
.///. Thank you though. Nothing stood out as too silly or anything? Nothing too rushed? I'd kinda debated about the glue-trap but I needed a reason to keep Lilly from rushing in and getting caught already. XD In the first chapter she was a bit more cowardly but I wanted her to be more assertive and bold. :3 So she needed something to keep her out of the group lynching. XD
