Savannah, Colt, and their general likeness are literary property of my best friend. He's created a whole "universe" (Leoverse) with them and I'd appreciate it if they aren't stolen. This was written to be something else and turned into a pretty decent FanFic of his project "Infinite Sadness" so logically I changed the names. Which was all I had to change....
Jocelyn was sitting on the couch in the living room watching the television and trying to relax. Today had been somewhat stressful with the first day of classes at the local university. There wasn't really anything on for her to watch and so she was growing more bored by the minute. Then the idea came to her to take a nap. There wasn't anyone else at home si...

She feels her face blushing. The message seizes control of her mind. Form the moment she is aware of it she perceives the world around her only through a veil. She functions. But j...
Sophie sobbed into her tissue trying to regain control of her emotions. She gulped nervously and tried to concentrate on her typing. If her boss found her crying he would be very angry with her and he was so unsympathetic. Just the thought of him made her cry even more and she stifled her cries of sadness. Little did she realise that someone had already seen...
"Oh my God," the view takes my breath away and those three words are all I can manage. The sky stretches for miles and in it, shining brighter than anything I can see in the States, are millions of stars.

I'm late for class. I run up two flights of stairs and open the door to the dark lecture theatre, for a moment I stand in the darkness trying to see. As my vision gets better, I realize I am pretty much staring straight at you. I put down my bag on the front seats, which are never occupied. I sit down, painfully avoiding your gaze; I didn't expect you to be...
When I woke up in the hospital, what I saw first was Grace, asleep in a chair next to my bed. My head was still pounding a bit, my face still a little swollen, but I managed a smile as I admired her sleeping form with my unbandaged eye. I tried turning a bit, letting out a soft groan as my body was still a bit sore. This woke up my savior with a start. "Oh...
Jelena, I bet you just didn't know how surprised you looked when I walked into that shop! I knew you were working there. Your mother had told mine, and she told me when I went home for Easter. The way that word gets round in home towns. A lovely job, my mum said. You were training to become chief buyer for the whole chain. In the meantime, there you were, se...
When Stewart arrived at the dinner party with a life-sized mannequin tucked under his arm, Stella asked him if he would care to deposit it in the cloakroom where the rest of the guests had left their coats. Ignoring her, Stewart marched down the hall to the dining room. Stella scurried after him. The conversation stopped as he set the mannequin—dressed in a...
