~~Jack~~ "Name them yet?" "No. Really torn on it too." Jack leaned down, held out his hand, and smiled as the two crows each took some oats from his palm. "It's gotta be something meaningful." "Bonnie and Clyde?" His sire laughed at his own joke. Tacky, but the mafia boss man made it work. "I'm thinking something a bit less depressing. Just... nothing co...
~~The Year: 1986~~ ~~Mason Harding~~ Being alone is horrible. Lot of the people he knew — knew being a strong word — thought being alone was bad, and rough. But to them it was just a word.

Hiding behind a blanket of grey, the sky saw fit to let loose yet another torrent of heavy rain to the tired people below. A fine mist formed over the asphalt roads and the cold winds of autumn added to the almost funereal atmosphere choking the town at present. Most people saw fit to stay indoors, while a few daring souls hurriedly jogged by with hoods fe...

He asked politely with an accent Riley Ranfurly (32), couldn't quite identify, "Is this chair taken?" It was, because no one was sitting on it or the other five vacant chairs around the table.

There are things you do first in any emergency. When somebody falls down with a cardiac arrest, you pump on his chest to oxygenate the brain until somebody can help defibrillate the heart and hopefully restore a normal rhythm. You stop the bleeding before worrying about a broken bone. I was sitting out on my patio trying figure out what I needed to do first...

It all began with him getting into a fight with his fiancée Jenny in the morning, steadily going downhill until ending with this last meeting...with almost 12 hours of pure Hell in between.
