Fell Clutch of Circumstance
- Issue number: 1
- Date: December, 2005
Summary: A self-admitted killer laments over the body of his victim, a nude woman impaled upon a curious sword. The police close in on the dark, muggy lowcountry warehouse that is the scene of the crime. It seems that it is only a matter of time before the killer is apprehended.
Author’s note: I am including this issue for historical purposes. I consider it apocryphal/non-canon. The story has diverged from what I originally conceived in 2004, and I don’t like that the issue starts right off with a “fridging”.
