Christy squirmed in her seat. The day was hot and dry and the classroom seemed as though it were an oven, cooking the inhabitants merrily and distracting them from their third installment of Destinos. Everyone was restless and she took some comfort in the fact that the desks and chairs were creaking as the students shifted about; it made her own movements in...

Andre West fidgeted in his car seat. "OK," he whispered into his watch, like it was a spy gadget from a James Bond movie, "the time is 17:30 hours and I've been surveilling the unknown address for two hours with no sign of any movement other than the mailman leaving a package." Did it matter that he didn't have a smart watch recording him, that his watch was...

Many of you find the need to send threats to me just because I wrote a character that is a bit emotional, as a matter of fact the main character is largely based on my own emotions.

I am not a nice guy. As long as I remember, I've not been the nicest of all fellows. In fact, calling me polite is often a stretch. It's not like I try to be an ass. It's more like I'll be a wiseass when treated like one, I'll tell people what I want. I'm assertive. Direct. Being this way has taught me several life lessons over the years. One consistent on...
