September 21, 2007 (Chimes / Matt Decker) -- Bat spit is a hot commodity in science circles these days. An enzyme known as Desmoteplase has been found in the saliva of vampire bats, according to the Science Daily. This enzyme is known to be a naturally occurring, clot-dissolving agent.

My Dearest Maria,

Charles Holland wished to be alone, if ever any human being had wished fervently to be so. His thoughts were most fearfully oppressive.

*Deep within the caverns he calls his home, Deadend broods. Long has he remained enclosed in his halls, awaiting the day he felt the desire to return to the surface. As he sits in front of his fireplace he reads the journal he has kept these many long months since the Black Raven Inn closed it's doors. His thoughts turn to those he once called family. Something pulls at his consciousness, however...something very familiar. Slowly, he closes the journal and rises. He is ready...it is time. He grabs his favorite smoking jacket and walks to the entrance to his caverns.
