Gia walked down the halls of Altamonte Springs Senior High School, confident in herself. She had only been here a few months, but she had become known as a fair, but strict teacher. She had trouble coping with these students who seemed to tower over her small frame, she just topped 5', and she felt sometimes overpowered, but her stern stance had let her prev...
A balmy evening breeze stirred the curtains of Constance's window. She tipped her face into the welcome scents of mingled salt air, flowers, and spicy food being cooked in the village below. Festival time. How she had loved the festivals as a girl! Strange to think of it like that. Only a year ago, she'd gone to the festival with her father, the two of t...
I had the worst case of writer's block, you guys. I knew what I wanted to write, but I didn't know exactly how to go about it. I know it's been awfully long though, so for those of you who have stayed patient with me, I offer my thanks and I hope you enjoy. More to come soon. Or at least, sooner. * * * Open. I opened my eyes. It was as though a sudden...

Another paleskin was batted aside by Xoruk's iron club. The soldier went flying, crashing into a nearby tree. The bark cracked on impact, the human sliding down in a heap. Thicker and thicker into the crowd he waded, smacking humans aside like toys. He heard several of his brothers cry out "Moktakh!" behind him, the glorious afterlife promised to every orc...

I don't know. *** They figured it out within a few hours. On that embarrassing night when both Vidar and Muriel had been heavily drunk, they must have gone to each other, missing each other, loving each oth...
It was on Monday afternoon that Grant issued a proclamation to his mother and sister. "I want Angela to move in with us." The decision could not have been entirely a surprise to either woman, but nevertheless they were both a little shocked. Grant had only spent a weekend with his new love, and already he wanted her to cohabitate! Did he really know what...
Hi all, izenrann here again. Trying out something a little new, a little old in this chapter... exhibitionism! But I don't want to spoil too much. Enjoy the ride! ****** It was another bright and sunny morning at Brighton Farms (did they even have mornings which weren't bright and sunny) and Clarisse Evans, doctor and hucow, was off to get her weekly sche...
I was baby-sitting for Maree and Todd on that night. They'd departed for places unknown along with Rob, Maree's brother. The kids had been reasonable and had gone to bed with a minimum of fuss and fallen asleep quite quickly. With nothing left to do I'd stooged about on the PC for a while and then watched TV. Typically there was nothing much on TV. If you...
