Melani had been sitting on the ledge for what seemed like days. Below her the Brayer lay on its stomach, twitching occasionally and making moaning noises less often. She had sat here, waiting, fearing it was some kind of ploy on the beast's part. She knew that made no sense, the creature was much stronger and faster than she and could have easily caught her...
3:45. The numbers on the digital clock by the bed cast a green glow over the room. Outside, the street was quiet, save for the rustling of the leaves swirling in the autumn breeze. Inside, the only sound was the deep, even breath of sleep. She had gotten home at the regular time. The boys were already there and doing homework. The oldest was working on mat...
He awoke. He could feel the stiffness in his limbs. And then the cold wind blew across him, bringing memory with the chill. The battle he had waged against the dark lord. His companions falling one by one. And finally…alone…surrounded by demons…he was taken. They did not finish him there, but dragged him back to their foul lair. In that darkness he lost...
The sound of rocks crackled beneath Kim's shoes breaking the silence along the trail, as the 36-year-old Armenian Goddess, dashed along the trail near her Hollywood home. Kim was charmed by the sounds of birds chirping in the trees and the sight of the numerous shades of oranges, reds, browns, and yellows of the leaves that laid along the ground below and hu...
'On a scale of jello to cookies, how stoned do I look?' he asks. I start to laugh, it's not even funny. His straight face, in this underwater themed cafe, I've got the giggles. I'm really trying hard to stop. I take a shaky breath, suppressing the laughter. A sip of Heineken gives me something to focus on. My other friend says, 'I think you mean baked,' whil...
Sherehe was larger then any of them had anticipated. Fox had told him all things were traded but he had expected it to be little more then a collection of stalls and a single Inn for road weary travelers. Instead, it was a small town unto itself with what they assumed were smugglers and traders mingling in the streets. Nero and Maua watch from the back of...
Sitting in a very dark room with no windows and no light; my hand holds a small slender candle, the flame flickers softly. The only thing fanning the flame is my breath while I sit and look down on it. It is a weak flame but still burning. I have taken great care to keep it burning, keeping it alive, hiding it from those that would want to blow it out and fo...
Alrek awoke to the sounds of a man in orgasm. He reflexively reached for a pillow to cover his ears. There was no pillow to grab. It took him a moment to register that he was still underwater, and a few more moments to register what that meant. When he did, his eyes shot open. He felt weak. Agonizingly weak. Like he'd just lifted a hundred pounds above his...
Late in the night, the touch of a hand roused the princess from her sleep. "No, my lord," she mumbled. "I can take no more tonight, I beg you." "Hush, girl..." hissed a raspy voice from the darkness. The fire had died down to only coals, and in their red glow, the princess could make out the figure of the old man she'd seen in the banquet tent. "I have see...
The crowd surged towards me and I experienced a momentary sense of panic as I felt myself carried along with the momentum. Everyone seemed to be shouting, and ahead of me I could see massed ranks of men dressed in long brightly coloured robes, their faces covered in coloured paint. They were brandishing swords and as the bright light of the sun caught them,...
