The morning sky was grey and cloudy, and a steady rain had been pouring down for about an hour when I got there. The uniforms had found the guy sitting up against a plastic dumpster behind a dingy little neighborhood bar on West Elm. At first they thought he was just drunk. Down in that part of Chicago, anything can turn up, and drunks are just part of the n...
CHAPTER 1: ANIMA UXORIS It's strange to be back in college again after two decades. As they say, however, the more things change the more they stay the same. After the first two weeks I find myself easily falling back into the same old habits that served me well the first time around. Classes...study...copious amounts of coffee...more classes...more study...
Ina walked through the little town with a look of horror on her face. Everywhere she looked there were dead bodies lying around. The town was small with a few houses here and there and a Magic shop in the center. A meat market and a blacksmith shop were nearby as well. The straw roofs of the buildings were common in this era and region of the land of Yomolia...
This is a continuation of the orgy and hyper rave party taking place in Surrey at Anika's home. Special thanks to Annette, Amanda, Ted, Gisele, and Sandra for providing the inspiration for this story. ***** Annette and Anika passed Brad, Gisele and Penelope on the hill as they descended down to the limo. As they did, Annette caught Gisele's eye and told he...
I woke up when Alex started stirring in the bed next to me. Sunlight was streaming through the picture window on the east wall warming the bed and causing the golden strands of her hair to glisten. She was slowly sitting up when I opened my eyes. "Sorry," she said softly. "I didn't mean to wake you." The bed sheet fell away from her body as she leaned to...
AUTHOR'S NOTES: Disclaimers apply. Nyx/Dara Gibson and Tigress/Nikku Sita Cheng © Kara Senecal, 2005. It was the same pattern of images that continued to assail Nightcrawler for months; the moment where he had rushed forward, with Magik--his beloved Amanda--at his side, and Nyx, beautifully ferocious, swooping overhead, snarling at the renegade demons...
Author's Note: I know this piece is rather long for this category. But that can't be all bad, can it? I do hope you have fun reading it. ***** It was at Jaker's Grill that I learnt about the mad Englishman with the plummy accent who was planning to leap off Perrine bridge in the middle of the night. Twin Falls, Idaho is a quiet place, but it's also the onl...
The early morning sun sat low on the horizon and cast it's warm light across a cloudless sky. Being a Saturday morning there wasn't much traffic and the vehicles that were out were able to travel at faster than normal speeds. One such car, a Nissan R33 GTR that was painted in a brilliant metallic blue, entered the interstate and quickly got up to speed befor...
A momentary frisson of fear ran along my spine as I sprawled in the small tent, my arms lashed above my head with leather bindings and my eyes covered with a thick binding of cloth. I wriggled upon a fur mattress and strained my ears, but all I could hear was the heavy footfalls of Sally Mead Mug as she walked about me in the small tent. I swore I could hear...
"Jesus," Max muttered under his breath, eyes wide, his hand clenching the doorknob as he checked out the hottie at his door. The second he heard the knock on his apartment door, he knew it had to be one of the four nannies he was interviewing today, but never in his wildest dreams did he ever expect to find such an absolute smokeshow standing on the other si...
