Chapter 7: Chase has a revelation CHASE Once Griffin leaves, I take a few minutes to lie back in bed and stare up at the ceiling. I want to make it clear that I'm not angry about a stupid kiss, rather what it meant. Caleb is just another one of those guys who made me feel special enough to get intimate, only to toss me aside once I've served my purpose. I...
Chapter 4: Two steps forward, one step back GRIFFIN I wake up the next morning feeling even more guilt than I did after leaving Derek's room. I look over at my phone, ignoring the notifications that are deep in the trenches of a miscellaneous folder that no one knows I have. I cringe as I hover over it for a few seconds before deleting the app entirely. Th...

Author's Note: I've been working on another project. This story will be on hiatus for the time being. The monk was shivering. It was a bright summer's day outside the small council room with the heat of mid-July scorching through its wide balcony.

"I swear I'm going to quit!" Leo protested. "No," his boss, Bob smirked, understanding my frustration and taking joy out of it. "I won't. I won't work with that... that..." "Yes?"

Chapter 2: Old habits die hard. Chase walked into my room as I still lied there, half asleep, "Hello? Griff?" I open my eyes and see him standing there, "Don't you knock? And what are you doing here? It's probably like 8 in the morning!" Chase walks towards the windows, opens the blinds and lets in the bright sun, "Griff. It's nearly 12, you need to get...
Alex kisses Benny's forehead and puts his arm around me. I feel a sense of love and pride when we are linked together like this. It's saying to the world this is my family. "Hey, Benny Boo!" Alex whispers. The nickname gets him a giggle from our little munchkin. "Why don't we introduce you to your horse?" He giggles again. Alex walks us as we are over to...

The Day After: 2 Beep... Beep... Beep... Beep... I woke up, startled by my alarm clock. I threw my arm down towards my nightstand to quiet the shrill sound with my hand. My eyes opened to meet the familiar sight of my ceiling fan. After the last day's events it was comforting to find myself in familiar territory. I turned my head to the empty space beside...
The rain on the window distorts the trucks moving across the dark concrete. It shifts their colours into melted patterns that jump and run and fragment the outlines of distant figures. Burly men in heavy coats move about the haze. Dark, heavy coats pulled tight against the weather. Red faces closed against the cold. Germany is a dark, wet wasteland of dies...
