*If it matters make it count* (Monday) "Do it again," Eleanor told me yet again as she did absolutely every lab. "I have I ever told you how lovely your eyes look when fired by unmitigated hate?" I answered. "No, that is a new one," she growled. I took my failed results and went back to my lab partner Barney. He shook his head wondering why I kept going...
*Friendships don't latest forever, they are built forever* (Ten Months Later) A quick recap: Jamie was having sex with Craig and Emily in equal measure; Amber was having sex with mostly Craig but occasionally Emily; Craig and Emily were not having sex but were good friends. Does that make sense? If so, explain it to me; Craig. High School football was gre...
Constance Marchbank sat behind the large modern desk of the medical office. The room was decorated in a traditional style, rather like an old fashioned doctor's surgery. The Adam fireplace was the centrepiece of the room, giving it an easy and comfortable air. Mahogany bookcases surrounded the walls of the well-lit room, with a heavy pastel-shaded carpet co...
The room erupted with the news that the Scrabble Sniper was dead. I sat back in shock, wondering how our enemies had taken her out so quickly. Sending a person into a hospital and killing a guarded prisoner, that wasn't supposed to be an easy thing. Whoever they were, they had resources and reach. I stayed quiet, just trying to process things, but my body wa...
We needed a vacation. We had been saving for three years with the thought of taking a vacation far off, some tropical island where we could go for a week, do whatever we wanted without the demands of either of our jobs or the structure of our normal lives. It would be fantastic and totally different for sure. We searched possible locations and decided we cou...
Morning's first light beamed through the open bedroom window as a naked Billy Burke opened his eyes and attempted to shake off the after-effects of a deep sleep. The room that slowly came into focus around him was unfamiliar at first, but became more recognizable as his vision cleared. The room took on a frightening clarity as the dark haired nineteen year o...
The farm had a wall. That was odd. The fields or whatever were hidden behind a high wall in back of what must have been the administrative building: this was clearly bigger than a family operation. I had no real experience with farm life, but this was where I'd be for a couple years - hopefully they didn't work us too hard. I was eighteen and had a promisi...
This is my submission for Geek Pride Day 2018. This version as been edited for your viewing pleasure. Thanks for reading! *** The electric hum at Public Static Void resonated within Rayce as soon as he walked inside. No matter how long he stayed away, the Void was always the same when he came back. The same handful of regulars staring blearily into whateve...
In This Country *****Hey Readers, this is the revised version of the Crystal Series. I hope you like it seeing as how changes in this one compared to the last one. I know you guys want a story as realistic as possible so this is going to (hopefully) meet your expectations. Because I am making this as realistic as possible though, I do think it might not tr...
Abyss This is a rewrite of a story I won the Halloween Contest here at Lit many, many moons ago. It's expanded quite a bit and the characters are more fully drawn. Enjoy. __________ It's a very good thing that the sun goes down so early in winter time. Otherwise the night classes I teach would be held very late. That could lead to suspicion, which is some...
