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 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.

Imagine my surprise, when, in November of 2005, I was surprised to see my short story collection The Imagination’s Provocation: Volume I on the Barnes and Noble bookshelves.  It was a surreal–and very welcome–sight!  Of course, I brought Kristen back the next night to take some photographs of this watershed moment.

This character is the wanted traitor, heroic Freedom.  I first created him sometime around 1991.  He can currently be found in my short story collections The Imagination’s Provocation: Volume I and Volume II.
