Chapter 1: Elise and Rostand With mounting dread I ascend the stairs to Rostand’s studio. A chill wind rises, swirling about my bare thighs, seeking to conquer the places my lover cannot. What will it be today? What will he demand of me? It will be the same, I fear. It always is. How have I come to this place of dismay I wonder, not for the first time. The...
***Abi's collection points to some failings in a few areas, the way that he sees it. He's already had a few improvements in mind and he begins to implement them in this.

Greta Samson stepped off the train and stood on the platform looking around. There were few people around at this time in the morning and the train left just a few minutes later. She hiked up her backpack and walked to the exit where a taxi was parked. There was a man leaning against the hood smoking a pipe facing the warm morning sun. "Excuse me, could you...
This little tale follows the actions related in 'What are friends for?' The story, however, stands alone and you don't need to have read that one to make sense of this. Enjoy! * When Milly woke in the Clarks' guest room she was still smiling from her dream. She stretched languidly in the bed, glancing at the bedside clock. Seven-fifteen. Candy had said, 'd...
