You've never seen them before, yet, you felt youself able to read them perfectly. "For those that struggle in bed, a roll of these dice keep her appetite fed." "Huh," you said. "That's kin...
Cinthesis Part One "Alright, I've seen the wall-paintings and they're very pretty. Can we got to the lake now, Cindy?" her friend Beverly Haller complained. Cinderella Mason sighed.

Aelfric held his elbows pinned to his sides, his face impassive. As king, he could never show weakness, never give such succor to his foes. Worse, it would worry his wife and shame his son.
