Taking a deep breath, Kate stepped from the cab onto the pavement. She looked at the house before her, swallowing hard and checking the number on the mailbox once again to be sure she had the right house. Yep. This was it, all right. She paid the cab driver the fare and gave him an extra five dollars to wait a few minutes until she was sure she had the right...
Hades opened his eyes, and was lost. He was on his back, naked and cold, his body sore where it was pressed against the curling shapes carved into the stone floor. Over his head was a stone vault, fifty feet across and decorated with a magnificent frieze depicting scenes and letters he could not understand, lit by the dim glow of the fluorescent synth-algae...
I checked my piece of paper for the last time, making sure I'd got the address correct. Yes, Flat 19b. I raised my hand to push the buzzer and hesitated. What if we had no longer had a connection? I hadn't seen Joe since I was ten and he twelve, and although we used to play together almost every day, each other's best friends, we had all but lost contact sin...
Turning over in my bed, I was awakened by raised voices coming in through the door to my small room off the kitchen.

I should've known better – but I'm competitive and support my team, fiercely loyal to a fault - and you knew just how to push my buttons. "You know you've got no chance tonight, right?" you taunted me from the bedroom as I stood facing the mirror, fixing my hair before we left for tonight's game. Incredulous, I turned to look at you. "You're awfully confi...
Max awoke to the sound of her alarm at 7 am. She started to open her eyes but had to squint them against the morning sun coming through the window. Her hand went up habitually to caress her husbands chest. Geoff was warm, and the feel of his chest hair tickled her fingers as she gently stroked his chest. As her eyes adjusted to the morning light, she looked...
Chapter 1: Yearning He'd always known. When I was younger I thought I was being coy, but Jonathan saw right through me. I teased at first, but John isn't playful. He's the strong, silent type - heavy on the silence. Of course that made me want him more. Other friends' fathers would tease us back, make corny jokes, or indulge our girly pursuits. John never...
