I would like to thank Kimberley for her apt editing and making it presentable. Enjoy and if you like, please vote and let me know. ***** ANITA "Wow, you've more admirers today!" Auntie Uma chuckled. Completing the usual three rounds of running along the grass track of a local park, huffing and puffing, I stopped in front of the bench where she was seat...
There's no way I'm going to make it there in time. I thought to myself as I pulled my long, wet, red hair back into a tight ponytail. I had just gotten out of the shower, and I was supposed to be at my neighbors' house to baby-sit in 10 minutes. Mr. Dumont and his wife, a newly married young couple had just had their first baby, a beautiful boy, and needed a...

It was too hot to climb. We had gotten up early in the morning, and done a couple routes. There were three of us: Steph, Anna, and Me. Climbing as a trio was a little slow, but it was a lot of fun; and it was doubly fun because it was just us girls. It was late morning, and the sun was beating down on the cliff. It must have already been up in the 90s, an...
This story is directly inspired by my recent visit to Stockholm and I've tried to describe the city as best as possible after only three nights there. I wrote it from a Swedish woman's POV just to see how far I can push the envelope. It's a fun little piece while I work on the sequel for The Singer. Not sure how far I can take this story but we'll see, I hav...
Millicent was not her original name, but she had heard it in a movie and had adopted it for now. Over the thousands of years that she had lived, figuratively speaking, she had had many names. Not so figuratively speaking, she was a vampire, a succubus to be exact, but unlike most of her kind, she no longer killed her food, but kept it around for a few years...
I'm awoken hours before the sun sets by the sounds of combat just a short distance away, igniting my blood-lust. The screams of men, bones crunching, muscles tearing, hearts pumping as arteries are severed and blood soaks uselessly into the earth. I want to be a part of it, clawing at flesh, blood, sweet, thick and hot dripping down my chin as I drink my fil...
I levitated her down through the skylight of my roof, lowering her lightly onto my dark chocolate colored couch. It was very dim here, in my lair. A one room, open plan warehouse loft, bathroom downstairs, not that I needed it but I had human friends... sometimes. I conjured a tiny, bright ball of green witch-fire as I landed lightly, feet first on the light...
The sky is blue and the grass is green. I love this view from my sickle more tree. It smells so sweet and it is serene, so I spread my wings and welcome the breeze. In my hideaway heaven a smell reaches me, like honey and lime or peaches and cream. It holds me and drags me back to my hell, where I'm all alone with not one friend. I realize that the smell was...
