Pressed gently against the paper, his lead pencil took down the minor details streaming from his mind. Crack! He must have leaned on it too...
The night was warm and unusually quiet, as she laid in her bed. She had her pink silk covers pulled up around her as she listened to the noises coming from her parents room. Her father sounded so mad, this frightened her. She slipped out of her bed and walked over to another bed and peeked at the slumbering child that laid within its soft sheets. Seeing the...

"So, ah...when do you want to try and do this?" William asked, still surprised that things had headed off in this particular direction. Admittedly he wouldn't mind seeing Grace's body, though he was well aware that would be the extent of it. "How about tonight after dinner?" Mellissa suggested. "Why don't you join us, and then we can leave from there?" "So...

I'm a Turkish immigrant, for God's sake! I definitely didn't think that by dating this seemingly conservative girl from a supposedly strict family, that I would b...
19.1: Moonsong ----------------- Erik rubbed his eyes with the palms of his hands and sighed, his breath ruffling at some of the papers on his desk. Neat writing covered the pages, all concerning the now-bustling village of Suravale, nestled in amongst the ruins of the once-great city of the same name. He went over them again, the grainy feeling in his e...

It all felt like a dream. Joan Woodruff wasn't in the best of moods. It was a Friday evening in late September, and as she got off from work she had a sinking feeling it would be like any other Friday evening, spent alone in her house—the house she had grown up in, and which she now occupied all by herself, as her parents were dead. So after the workday wa...
