Chapter 6 – Tommy's Story – Second Thoughts. There was a loud knock on his bedroom door, "Come on Tommy what's keeping you." Tommy opened the door and before him stood Victor dressed immaculately in a suit and tie. Victor was his new friend, well sort of. "You look like you're going to a wedding," Tommy joked. "Very funny," Victor snorted, "what's keepin...
Author's note: A bit of warning, I believe, is necessary before proceeding to read this story. It demands the reader to suspend their beliefs, as it contains a smidge of magical realism. Also, it is intended to be light-hearted, so nothing should be taken too seriously. The same recommendation goes for the main character who is quirky, a bit of a scattered...
The door shut and any light that had once illuminated the tiny room, no matter how little, was now totally obliterated by the darkness. It took Avery a minute to process what had just happened. It was almost too much to believe. How could he have been stupid enough to have allowed this to happen? He should have let Rick come with him but Avery never thought...
Thomas and Niko in the City of Trees - Chapter 3 So it's a couple hours later and I'm just sitting there on Lexie's bed, and she's kind of pulling on my arm a little, which is usually a sign that she wants some more attention from me, and all I can think about is how this whole thing with Thomas will go down. Like, will he calm down about the whole stupid...

Badru stared at his brother, confused and a bit afraid. What was he going on about now? A monster? Who was he talking about? "I do not understand you, Manu." He replied, trying to move away but finding his path blocked. "What monster do you mean?" He asked, raising an eyebrow. Manu could be so dramatic sometimes. Manu glared down at Badru and slammed his...
I feel so embarrassed, how could Tag have known I was here? Things had gotten totally out of hand once I had realized that I was being played the fool and our three workers had more in mind than simply cooling off and enjoying the freedom of a week's sweat to be washed away by innocent fun. God damned, I must have come across as the biggest idiot in the wor...
Josh and I went into the house through the garage. Robert was in the living room waiting for us, along with a man with dark hair, wearing a black suit. As we approached he said, "Hello Josh. And you must be TJ. Both Robert and my daughter have told me quite a bit about you." Robert must have seen the puzzlement on my face. "Teej, this is Patrick Landrum, my...
I awoke in my lovers arms. I just relaxed and gazed at him as he slept. It's been months since we made love and I woke up and in his arms. He's such a handsome sight, adorable, breathing loudly, his hair misshapen from sleep. I kissed his face all over, as softly as I could so as not to wake him. It was a cold morning. I enjoyed his warmth. I got close and c...
Before bed and after an evening spent in mostly worthless reflection only half-interrupted by a trip to the gym and the resulting takeout meal, I made a promise to myself.
