Raion listened to the click of chouko's geta as she traversed the gravel path and exited the gateway. The mama-san had very quickly taken Him under her wing and although He felt He imposed too much on her time He allowed her to do much as she pleased. Life had been hard for her for so many years and now having a modicum of peace the allowance of her service...
Reggie was enjoying the sleep of the blessed which gave Georgina a chance to prepare dinner. She had shopped Rick's monthly coupons the day before his death. She would post the unused vouches back to the Ministry of food tomorrow. Richard had complained when she had insisted that Fiona's unused vouchers be returned too. He claimed no one ever checked. Georg...
Author's note Thanks to all who added comments on the site and emailed me. Also thanks to those of you who gave the story such high marks. I have published this second part more quickly than I probably will subsequent episodes, which I aim to submit to Lit every ten days or so. I am sorry about the errors in the first part, especially literals. Editing is...
Archana was sitting in her bed room with her cell in her hand. She had just called Monoj, the husband of her friend Sima and asked him for a meeting between her and him only.

The bark of the tree was rough against my skin, but I didn't mind. The August Roman night was a typical steam bath, and my room was still too sultry to sleep in. Sister Juliana was in the south on a family visit; La Rossa was in Jerusalem for a conference; Sister Lucia, our second in command, was out of town as well; and only the sisters without families or...
This is the third letter that I have written. The first one was called "In the woods with my boyfriend." The second one was "On my university campus." If you have trouble finding them I guess you can send me an email. Since we started getting more serious, Ryosuke and I have been spending a lot of time alone together, but actually I guess I first met him be...
When I was in my junior year at Oceanview U., my boyfriend Ryosuke and I 'broke up.' I think basically he is a good guy, sweet, attentive, funny, sexy, but he sometimes gets sidetracked by women from his past. Even though we were theoretically on a break, we kept on seeing each other. To be honest, I was still a little angry at him, but it seemed like he wan...
Ziryha drummed her nails on her table as she watched the banquet unfold in front of her. She was immensely bored and only the effort of maintaining the magical illusion that cloaked her from the party's view was really keeping her awake at all. She was the only Rakshasa in Empress Rebeccah's inner circle and one of only four non-humans in the room. Much as t...
I think The Kingston Trio said it first. But then Frank Sinatra said it more eloquently. It was Frank who moved it from the major key to the minor key. Brilliant.
