Undead Embrace - a vampire horror poem by Neil Benson



A dark poem from a mortal to a vampire lover.

Whenever I run,
wherever I hide,

your dark presence finds me.

It fills me with fear.

It fills me with joy.

I try to resist you,

but my will always fails me.

I am drawn back to you,

across distance and time.

Memories of pleasures,

no mortal could imagine.

Feelings of pain,

no mortal could endure.

My resistance is fading,

closer I come.

Your dark Castle in front of me,

where you've lived for all time.

I go to your chamber

to submit to your will.

Your perfect face before me,

a goddess of death.

Your pale white lips

and dark blue eyes

draw me to your netherworld.

Your mind caresses my cheek

and strokes my body

until I am aflame.

Closer you come,

and I show you my neck.

Ecstasy overwhelms me,

with the sharpest of pain

Wizard under Fire a Novella by Neil Benson


Imagine that you find out that terrorists killed both your parents the day before your 18th birthday. Imagine that you find out that your parents were wizards and you have the potential to be a wizard on the day you bury your parents. Imagine that on your graduation day from wizard training your teachers describe your potential to become a very powerful wizard. Imagine that you can create a shield that renders you and your partner, Ramón Gonzalez, invisible to the human eye and even radar. Imagine that five years later you go on a mission into Pakistan to determine if Al Qaeda wizards are protecting a secret base. Imagine that you and Ramón, a Special Forces Captain, become America's last best defense against terrorist wizards. Imagine that you are in a pitched battle against enemy wizards in an effort to prevent them from blowing up chlorine gas tanks that would kill tens of thousands of people.

This all happens to Athena Weitz in the Novella Wizard under Fire. I will place links to drafts of chapters within a couple of weeks.

Wizard Under Fire a Novella by Neil Benson


I recently completed the last chapter of a first draft for my novella "Wizard under Fire." The story is about a 26 year-old female wizard, Athena Weitz, who works for the Department Of Homeland Security to prevent terrorists, and most especially terrorist wizards, from completing missions in this country. Athena, Tena, is partnered with Ramón Gonzalez, a Special Forces Captain, to form a "Ghost Team." They on the "real deal"  because Tena can create a shield that makes them invisible to the human eye and even radar. The story takes the reader from the time Tena finds out she has the potential to be a wizard to when she and Ramón fight terrorist wizards to prevent them from blowing up chemical tanks  that could cause tens of thousands of deaths.

As I polish each chapter, I will post a link to it. My original intent was to write an 80,000 to 90,000-word novel. However, when I reached 60,000 words I realized there were too many "slow" chapters, and I decided to pare the story down to make it tighter and more exciting. This decision became a more viable option when I decided to self-publish on Amazon. Authors self-publishing on Amazon do not have to adhere to word counts required by most paper publishers.

The picture to the left was "borrowed" to show a female wizard with a fireball. I will obtain an original digital picture of Tena throwing her own fireball. I might add that Tena has dark hair, olive hued skin, and is fully dressed.
