Yvain's mind was fuzzy as he leaned on Marjov's shoulder. He kept trying to shake himself clear, but failing.

Invisible Fifty-five. The age not the speed limit, although Kate was certainly not a huge fan of either one. The first had crept up on her far too fast, and the second was far too slow for a woman who only drove cars that were built for both luxury and speed. Fifty-five was a tough age for a woman, although, she sardonically thought that to say any age was...

Unseasonably warm afternoon weather had brought the London crowds out in droves as I squeezed myself uncomfortably onto the Piccadilly line underground train and stood awkwardly, my overnight bag at my feet, my face pressed into the armpit of a tall blonde Scandinavian tourist. He gave me a look of pity no Londoner would have bothered with and I felt pleased...
USS Surefoot, Deck 2, Study Room: Sasha told the others about the Nist invitation to the execution of her mother's murderer - but as she did, she could see the beginnings of doubt creeping into some of the faces. Jonas and Kitirik, she expected such reactions, given their passive natures. Neraxis was a surprise, but then the Bolian, for her role as the Squa...
A favorite pastime of Jasmine's was to take a walk after receiving her paycheck, fingering the precious, crisp paper in her pocket as she made her way from block to block. She resolved to do the same this afternoon, though it would have to be short because her mother had called that morning to ask for a little help. Besides, after the spring rains that had...
