"Where are we? " asked Dawn when her eyes adjusted to the gloom of the room "You tell me sweet thang" said Faith snapping her gum and grinning "I dunno. You just told me to close my eyes and think of some place exciting and dangerous" said Dawn turning around to face the dark hair anti-slayer. Faith shrugged and reflected back to the events that had deliv...
"Slumming it?" I turned around and tried to school my features. I probably should have been spending my time trying to track down where those photos had come from, or perhaps trying to get an audience with Arachne. But honestly, for my own sanity, I needed to be among friends, away from it all. Sadly, the vaguely taunting voice wasn't someone I considered am...
The Tower of the Red-Eyed Princess is not marked on any map. Its whereabouts are unknown... down to the planet... down to the very universe, and the very dimension. Such a map would be unnecessary. When challengers seek the tower... or, when the tower calls for challengers... the two will find each other. The tower is told of in hushed whispers... It is said...
Viktoria, Dream, and Idris walked a tunnel of light towards black fog. "That's where Musette is?" Idris' hands clenched into fists and his chest rose and fell with his deep breaths. Dream nodded. "Memory remembered the things Musette had forgotten and this is where she brought us." "Musette! Wake up!" The sound of Ember's strident voice jolted Idris into...
Aubrey saw him staring again, but forgave him. She understood, understood how hard it must be for him not to stare at a pair of legs such as hers. Tanned so well from the past few days out in the sun, her legs were much more interesting than any of the boring artifacts the two teens saw on their sight seeing. But God, she thought, the boy is obsessed with...
Bob had acquired Carol as a result of her own stupidity. She was one of those women who thought they were always smarter than the men whom they worked with. She was smart. She was smarter than most men. She had just become too overconfident. That was her undoing. She got caught trying to swindle their company. Bob had fixed it so she wouldn't go to jail, but...
The door to the young prince's room burst open, and Goben stood panting in it's frame. Prince Galome III sat calmly by the window of this, the highest room in the tallest tower of the palace, and his private study. He gazed upon his bustling people in the city below and the birds that flew over them. Goben dropped to a knee and lowered his eyes, sweat drippi...
Hey, this is the third chapter of a multipart story. It's pretty long, so if you're into short form stories this may not be for you. I update sporadically. Look for the next chapter sometime in the next few months! ***** Weightless clouds of cold mist float with all the tinkling brilliance of ice cracked by midmorning sunbeams. Impossible birds flutter...
"Search for 'Amazon Fart-Eating Machine,'" my son, Scotty, suggested, bursting into giggles. "What?" "Amazon Fart-Eating Machine," he repeated, now bent in half with uproarious laughter. I was on the one-stop shopping website on a Saturday morning. My eight-year-old son hovered behind me, watching me type searches into my laptop. One of his favorite thing...
It's late by the time we get back to the hotel from the beach. I clear with the front desk that it is OK for you to stay the night and we travel up in the lift together to my room.
