Promos

Nocturnal, Something lives deep beneath the streets of San Francsico. Something that has been there for centuries, something that comes out at night ... to feed on the dregs of society. A sub-culture, with its own myths, its own legends of leader named The King that will lead them out of bondage, and their own demon, a hunting shadow known only as Savior.

Christiana's Shallow Thoughts, Christiana Ellis' surreal, daily thoughts on many subjects.
