Part 11: Payton – English; Village of the Warrior ~*~*~*~*~*~*~ If there was ever a time that Dominic wanted to take back everything he had said, now was definitely the time.

ZARDOZ CHAPTER FIVE OZ THE GREAT AND POWERFUL "A long night Culane?" I asked sarcastically when that wicked man entered the dining hall in the morning.

Galinda trailed in behind him looking very smug and more relaxed...
This is the same main character as the other stories, but this is a few years after the divorce. As always, you can read these in any order. Zoey is based on a real person, but I changed her name, city, career, and so on. ***** It had been several years since the divorce, and I had gone through a couple of short relationships, but nothing serious. I was in...
Now my father was away looking for something to do, and on this night I woke from thirst. The hour was late and there was no traffic noise at all. The sound of crickets played against the conspicuously absent noises of the street. Strangely, there was a light on in the living room.

It had been a long, hot summer. Another girl and I hatched a plan to take a few days to go up to the mountains in the north. It had to be cooler there. We decided to go in late August—take 3 days off for a 5 day weekend--just us two girls and the great outdoors. All things considered, I hardly knew her. She wasn't a really close friend.
