I watched her from the shadows, unseen, unnoticed. She has grown up in the four years since we first met. Then she was a skinny twelve year old with braces, now a beautiful young adult. Four years ago I was homeless, sleeping on park benches and begging for handouts. Unless you have been homeless yourself you have no idea how demoralizing it is. Dirty and h...
The first time I woke up with you next to me, I was frightened. My mind scrambled to understand what was going on. How was it that you were not there a moment ago when I slowly woke up, and how I was suddenly trapped in your arms when I rolled over? I fought you but you were strong and subdued me easily, your arms coiled around me, your hands pinning my wri...
Author would like to thank CopyCarver for his help editing this story. * Breathe deep, pick up the pace, keep going........the beach is only another couple miles in the distance......... was the mantra running through my mind as my hands sliced cleanly through the ocean water.

Tonight, I chose a simple tank top and boy shorts, clashing horribly with purple socks and leopard print slippers. My hair is...
They used to fight so goddamn much. It was why he finally bought earplugs. Living on the main floor of that old rented brownstone a few streets up from the lake was a pretty sweet deal. He could bike to his job - his first real one since graduation - along Lakeshore Boulevard, there were all those charming patios to try out along Queen Street in the summer...

Tonight she was Caitlin. She had decided her identity for the day when she had woken up in the morning and reassured herself after the doors of the elevator closed shutting off the bells and whistles from the ringing cash registers and slot machines.

Friday, the 8th Mai Ling was just removing the last of the needles as I woke up. Tai Soo was not in the room this time. When I mentioned her absence, Mai Ling told me that Tai Soo was not allowed to watch. The treatment was an ancient oriental secret and she was not permitted to teach it to anyone until their time came. Mai Ling adjusted the table as she...
Snatch was running. Unfortunately, he could not run very fast. The entire forest had gone black. Some sort of fey magic was at work here, and Snatch had no intention of staying around to find out what. He had to get out of the darkness. Had to get his bearings. "...ipper?" he heard Anna call. "Alrek?" "I'm here!" he shouted back. He felt branches scratch...
