Between Minds – A three part short story in progress. Arthur Twindragon is a vigilante, though he is not quite the same as the ones you might know. He can swap his soul with that of another, allowing him to control the body of the criminals he chases. Of course, they have control of his body in that time too, but he often puts enough damage on them with their own hands before they realise what is going on, and before he swaps back into his own body to finish the job. One day however, he stumbles upon an enemy that is quite different from his normal criminals. Rather than having to hunt him down like any other criminal, this one challenges him to a one on one duel. Something is clearly off, yet Arthur accepts the challenge regardless, only to find that this foe is far more dangerous than he initially anticipated…
