But before you start shouting, "the blood of Jesus," let me tell you the crazy story behind the name. Well, we were watching a fairly boring match that afternoon and de...
#writinginprogress FORTNIGHT PROLOGUE Dim blue lights cast an eerie glow over the room, while speakers reverberated diabolically, filling the air with pounding bass. Grim faces, shrouded in shadow, sought solace at the bottom of green bottles, each sip an escape from their harsh reality.
