The Sahara Africa THE DOORS TO THE ROOM blow off the hinges and land clattering with a loud clang. Instantly, Stone's and Dupree's weapons come up aimed at the door. "Don't bother," Natalya says looking over her shoulder. Aurelia strides into the rooms followed closely by Spencer. She throws up her hand and both guns fly from the two CATU agents' hands a...
A quick fun story in the vein of the last one I submitted, this one about a huntress getting far more than she bargained for while hunting a demoness. ***** The forest sighed in the autumn breeze, tasting of frosty promise and long nights. Owls hooted, their wings gliding with a ruffle of feathered beats. Leaves stirred, hissing on outstretched limbs. Wate...
"Shit, my other shoe!" Rachel cursed, as the heel on her shoe broke off. Already one shoe had been ruined as she and her friends walked through the graveyard to where Ross and Monica's Grandmother was being buried, and now she may have turned her ankle as the heel on the second one snapped.

ผี "I told you, Jeff, I'm a skeptic." "I've traveled the world, been to the sites of war crimes, genocides, murders, hotel fires, and I've not once, NOT ONCE seen a ghost." "My offer still stands.

Chapter 16 - Love and Marriage ***** "How does marriage work in Skyrim?" I asked the priest, who introduced himself as Maramal. I'd seen him once or twice in the Bee and Barb, calling all of us sinners for drinking alcohol, listening to music, and generally enjoying ourselves. "You wish to get married?" he asked, sounding a little surprised. I guess he'd...
As the plane made its final approach to the short runway I peered out the window to the minuscule island below. Wayne and I hadn't been on a vacation in years. We were both looking forward to getting away and this was the destination we chose. There were no pools, hotels, casinos, cars...nothing. It was perfect for us. "I'm so glad to have my feet planted b...
Narlissa Quickhands, half-elf and master thief, walked with Sesreh through the beautiful night-clad gardens that he had shaped within the dagger's realm. She was back in her flimsy nightgown, enjoying how it felt on her skin. She was astounded by how this could be the same place that had been a nightmarish hellscape only a few hours before.

HALLOWEEN CONTEST 2018 submission. Everything is made up from my own imagination and over 18. I hope you enjoy. * I felt rather than heard her as she approached my office window.

Jake and Nyrae turned at a slight noise they heard from the doorway. There in the door way was Gen though her eyes were hardly open. Jake ran to her fearing she was going to fall.
