COMICALITY
2 May 1975 - 16 April 2024
    Sadly, Comicality passed away after over a year long struggle with liver failure. Comicality, Comsie, Comet, Com ... what ever name you knew him by, was a household name to an entire community of devotees. He was larger than life, outgoing, friendly, a great friend, always helpful and an extremely talented author. Comsie was everywhere with eBooks (available on Amazon), his e-zine Imagine, ShackOutBack, his forums and more. He is missed by his many fans (this site and its staff included) but his stories live on.
    Comsie wrote a lot of books and short stories. "New Kid in School," "On the Outside," "My One True Weakness" and "My Only Escape" are just a few that come to mind, but that's the tip of the iceberg. In my mind, his defining work was "Gone from Daylight." It's the story of Justin and Tayrn, their great love for each other and their struggles in the vampire world. It is here on this page that I present that series and its many, many spin offs.

    It wasn't like waking up from a dream, it wasn't like the peaceful opening of your eyes after a long night's slumber ... this was different. This was pain. Unbearable, agonizing pain. I couldn't even tell where or when it started, I just know that it continued to intensify, more and more by the second, FORCING me into consciousness.

    I watched silently that night, as did the others, while the dirty deed took place. Was I the only one holding my breath? I was nervous as hell. However, I must admit that I somehow never doubted his abilities for a second. After all the things I had heard about how good he was at it, I guess I was just excited to see him in action for the first time.

    It was quite possibly the worst pain that I had experienced since my crossover. My stomach had collapsed completely and I could barely breathe at all. My eyes were burning painfully, drying out from the lack of fluids, the friction of my eyelids scratching my pupils almost every time I blinked. My mouth was dry, as though it were full of sand. My body felt twisted and bruised from the inside, and my heartbeat was slowing down.

    The air around me seemed especially crisp that night. Especial quiet. It brought a feeling of sudden awkwardness to my every step. Maybe it was chasing Chad around half the city earlier that was making my body tingle this way. When I actually thought about it, it was pretty amazing that I was able to keep up. My body seemed to know exactly what to do, even when my mind was completely lost. I could feel my instincts growing so rapidly that they began kicking into gear before my mind could even give the command.

    He never once told us where we were going that night. Gyro simply led the way and we followed, hoping that he had some kind of 'possible' solution to all of this trouble we had gotten ourselves into. We owed Jeremy a lot of money for the blood that he had given me, and he was looking to collect. No more excuses, no more extensions.

    I didn't know where, or when, or even IF, I could stop running at this point! My feet were barely scraping the street's surface as my body was propelled forward at a blinding pace. Even with my eyes tearing up over what I had done, the wind resistance alone helped to keep my vision clear. Still ... it hadn't washed away the memory of what I had just done. Over and over again I saw it in my mind's eye. I felt it. My angered fist hitting the face of the only boy I've ever loved.

    "Remember, Justin ... it's not a matter of pushing or forcing it to work. You've just got to concentrate. That's all," Bryson said, standing behind me at a close, but 'safe', distance. "Remember, a vampire's extra is merely an extension of himself. Become one with who you really are inside, and then focus it outwards."

    As I stood outside on the hospital lawn by the parking lot, looking up into the window where Richie used to lean over in his bed and look out into his limited vision of the world, I felt a guilt ridden chill fall on my shoulders like a shower of ice. A moment of fear. A moment of doubt. Exactly how long had it been since I've been here? Time was such an ineffectual part of my life now, ever since I've been born into darkness. You lose track of it so easily. Minutes taken for granted as immortality stands closely behind you, promising you two fresh moments for each one wasted. I had completely lost my sense of what time even was anymore. My memories....falling and fading away into a fuzzy haze.

    Even when getting off of the train, Taryn couldn't connect his once brilliant, emerald green, eyes with my own. If only I could get him to look at me, just once. But he never did. Instead he kept himself anchored to Rain's comforting embrace to the point where even reaching out to touch his shoulder was impossible. His eyes had literally been exhausted of their tears, swollen and dry, bloodshot to the degree where it just looked like it hurt him to blink. But it wasn't the pain that was displayed on his face that really hurt me...it was the dead expression of his soul that truly worried me.

    This was an experiment from some years ago to be a 'round robin' story, where different authors stepped up to add their own creative flair for each chapter. However, seeing as that's no longer the plan, I'm rebooting the series so I can take it to completion myself! It's a "GFD" spinoff that I really thought needed to be told. I hope you guys like it!
    A vampire wakes up in the midst of a fierce battle ... badly injured, and suffering from a spell of selective memory loss! Who is he? What was he doing there? And what will happen if he CAN'T get his memories back? Or even worse ...
    What will happen if he CAN?
