Part V of :from the Chronicles of Purgatory Station is entitled “Excitor Electrifies!”  It focuses on Purgatory Station’s newest Colossal, Excitor! 

Fresh in from Chicago, Excitor’s first order of business is letting Purgatory Station know all about him.  He chooses Kristina Carlock to be his own personal reporter, but why her?  Furthermore, when Excitor faces his first Mega-Mal, the mercenary called Barrage, will Excitor live long enough to get the fame, fortune, and girl he so desperately desires?

Watch out, World!  Scott William Foley has learned how to make banners.  From now on, no one is safe.

Below are the banners I’ve made so far.  If you’d like to use one as a link on your blog or website, I’d be ecstatic to send you the code.  Just email me at scottwilliamfoley@gmail.com.

Above is the Shadow Serpent, a serial killer stalking the innocent citizens of Purgatory Station.  No one knows who he is or when he’ll strike.  Even Purgatory Station’s most experienced defender, the Nocturnal Knight, can’t catch this murderer on his own.  He therefore puts together a new team of fellow protectors, and they finally face down the Shadow Serpent.  However, like life, the Shadow Serpent’s methods and motivations are not easily defined.

 To read of the Shadow Serpent and his misdeeds, check him out in The Imagination’s Provocation: Volume II.

This is El Fuego, a mysterious young man recruited by the Nocturnal Knight to battle the Shadow Serpent.  His powers allow him to manifest and control fire, much as Excitor can create and manipulate electricity.  Because of their similarities and independent streak, the two young men don’t always see eye to eye.

I hope to one day devote an entire story to only El Fuego, but for now you can read about his adventures with the Nocturnal Knight’s team in my short story collection The Imagination’s Provocation: Volume II.

This is my first sketch of a Celestial Spetatrix.  They are the opposite of the Celestial Knights because their duty is to simply observe and record the life of their assigned human. 

For one specific Celestial Spetatrix, her task was a sorrowful one because she had to watch the worst “human” of all - the Fallen One.  You can read about this particular Celestial Spetatrix and her plight in my novel Souls Triumphant.

(BE WARNED!  If you click on the image and read the notes written next to the sketch, a MAJOR plot revelation will be exposed.)   

These characters and sketches were originally conceived for a short story back in my creative writing class at Illinois State University.  The above notes are from the 1998 journal I used in the class to flesh out ideas.

Oh, and if you look very closely at the sketch, you’ll see the Celestial Spetatrix holding a pair of “goggles.”  At one point, these “goggles” were going to be a major plot device, but I cut them out in order to make the Celestial Knight’s sword more relevant.

This is The Black Hole, a man willing to do pretty much anything for the right price.  With his ability to create a giant vortex behind him, he’s virtually unstoppable.  Which raises the question: “How do you defeat him?” 

To find out who comes out the victor in the confrontation between he and Freedom, read my short story collection The Imagination’s Provocation: Volume II.
