The bed was still neatly made with white eyelet comforter on goose down mattress, plush pillows in abundance thrown at the intricately carved cherry headboard. He was stretched out across the bedding, fully dressed, propped up on one elb...
"All right, Audrey, James, you're up!" I snapped out of my daydream upon hearing those two names. Audrey and James had been part of my seminar this past semester and were the next study group to give their end-of-term presentations.

*Guy and the girls enjoy a couple of days in the city * 'Hairless apes.' said Mami and nodded at the stages of human evolution exhibition at the city museum. 'Of course.' she looked back at Guy and grinned. 'I'll never get that image out of my head now.' 'Better be careful I don't go all "Ooh! Ooh! Ah! Ah!" at you.' Guy said and swung his arm as he crouch...

The hangar was filled with noise. Hundreds of faceless troops were conversing with each other. Joking and laughing, making rude gestures with their pliable blank mannequin like bodies.
