《Revival Factory & Other Novellas》The Nymphs of Mosaic (Ch.10)

It was around 11 PM when my phone rang inside bedroom. I was forced to awake just in order to answer the call even though I didn’t want to. Is it Joey? I asked myself as I turned on lights to see the number.
It wasn’t my son's number. I seemed to have forgotten him but someone else had remembered me. The call was straight from phone booth.
I picked the receiver, "Rick Tarot here."
"Good it's you. I'm Dormer." He gasped.
"Speak to someone else. Make new friends to speak to. Even if you want to speak to me, don’t call me in such time –" I was annoyed.
"Something's urgent. I'm coming to your house right now."
"Wait! Wait! You aren't" I was surprised with him in a sudden.
"Yes I am. I already am on the way."
Damn! "Why would you come here?" I yelled at him.
"This is nasty Tarot. This has gone nasty now. Someone sent me a letter inside my house and there was written that he had seen me bury the corpse. He says he will inform cops about it."
"Then what's the point in coming here? You want to hide or what?"
"He has named you in the letter as well. I cannot speak everything on phone. I must be there." His voice became more and more frightened.
It gave a jolt to my body. Sleep flew away out of the window.
Dormer resumed, "If I had met him in person then I could have convinced him but here is just a piece of paper with threat scribbled on it. I am coming there right now whether you want me to come or not."
"Come as fast as you can." I said and put the receiver back on dial pad. Then I went to my bed and sat with hands clutching my bald head and sweaty forehead.

I got up, removed night gown, dressed up in a casual way and began to wait for his newly made friend. I didn’t know what time it was going to be when Dormer would alive. I had no idea if he was coming by foot or had hired a cab.
Hire a cab, you son of a bitch. I cursed Dormer.
Half an hour later phone again rang.
"Dormer! Are you an idiot? Why didn’t you come here?" I raged at him.
"I'm sorry. Your new friend isn’t coming there now." He said.
"Why wouldn’t you come?" I questioned Dormer after remembering how much hurry he was in when he had called him half an hour ago. And now he was saying tat he didn’t need to come here anymore.
"Because he's dead." The answer came.

Killing Roar: Part 2: Mortal Mewling
Part 2 - Mortal Mewling: Perry's been living his dream in the guard, fighting spike feeders, proving himself to be a valuable member of the community, but his many concerns linger, weighing him down with more questions and regrets. The strange event within the dungeon. The rise of the prey-movement. The critical mass of spike feeders looming around the corner. Things have been going wrong for Titan City, and it feels like they're only going to get worse. Can he help save what he's worked for or will it all fall to ruin? Part 1 - Killing Roar: When Perry was blessed with a platypus beast soul, he thought his chances of joining the village guard were over. No one had every heard of a platypus. It seemed like an obvious prey soul, given it wasn't in the village's records. Only the strongest could be part of the village guard. He thought that would never get the chance to defend the village from the spike feeders, the deadly creatures jutting out with hazardous spikes haphazardly all over. Only predator beast souls were given the requisite training and allowed to join the village guard. Perry just didn't meet their criteria. He was also wrong.Soon Perry will live out his wildest dreams and more, as he scales the rankings of beast soul mastery, fights innumerable dangerous spike feeders and solves mysteries related to the origin of beast souls and spike feeders. And maybe, just maybe, he'll even get to join the city guard. Genre-wise, Mortal Mewling is a GameLit story (light on the GameLit) focused on action and adventure. The Gore tag is there more as a precaution, rather than a promise to keep producing gory words. Mortal Mewling is a bit of a slow burn in terms of start, scale and capacity of the protagonist. Book 2... has now begun! Updates Monday and Thursday
