I saw him as soon as I stepped into the concourse. He was perfect Hollywood eye-candy; mid-twenties, tall, muscular, piercing blue eyes, craggy good looks, immaculately cut bottle-blond hair . . . the guy standing next to the stars in ten thousand medium close-ups. His costume was equally perfect; short-sleeved khaki shirt, matching shorts, aviator sunglasse...
Chapter Ten Serenity – Year 27.32.15 The thick mane of blue and gold feathers tingled along the back of Gwark's sinuous neck. What was that noise? Were the eggs in the incubator hatching ahead of time? Gwark wasn't sure he was quite ready to be a father again so soon.

"Ever have one of those lives? You know the kind. All of your life nobody ever notices you. Out of shape. Withdrawn due to ridicule. Really smart but yet get treated like an outcast for it. Ugly on the outside but drop dead gorgeous on the inside. I used to be that way. The crazy thing is when you are too intelligent the wrong people take notice. Right out o...
I woke up the next day, I glanced at the clock and saw that it was 8:30, shit I had slept for 14 straight hours, but at the same time the bed was damn comfortable. I finally rolled out of bed and stretched. I looked around and checked the adjoining bathroom. When I didn't see daddy I put on some shorts and a tank top and went down stairs. As I made it to the...

Sorry it has taken (literally) years to get this out, enjoy! -- AC ***** Finding Marcus It had been a strange morning for Evie. She drove nervously across town in a skirt that only just covered her ass, which for the first time in her life was stret...
