Chambers and Ria stood, their hands on their heads, as the two henchmen approached them with their pistols drawn. Chambers and Ria looked at each other. Chambers motioned with his eyes down towards his feet. When Gomez fell to the floor after being shot by Tabernas, the rifle he was holding slid part way across the floor. It now rested just beside Chambers...
The following story is based on the Jason Isbell song of the same name. The plot undoubtedly deviates from the intent of Mr. Isbell's song, though his lyrics in their entirety are included here. They are denoted by italics at various places within the story. * Jenn Ryan was the best thing that ever happened to me. But she would be the first to admit, she...
"Where's Mackenzie," Tubbins asks for the third time since I scooped him up. He keeps looking behind us. The rest of the children settled into my wake when I kept running. After about a half mile, we come to the first split in the tunnel, and I set him back down. He looks like he's about to cry, and he's not the only one. I think they all can sense my unease...

I'm more of a pampered mint-on-the-pillow type of girl. However, she insisted vehemently so I accepted the invitation. Heather said that she wanted to do something nice for her little s...
That night started out as a run-of-the-mill party in a mock-tudor country pub. The girl in question, Patricia, was a farmer's daughter, fairly attractive with a whole gang of college friends and young farmers to make us a jovial atmosphere in the pub's spacious function suite. I was supposed to be going with my then-girlfriend, Michelle, who was an old scho...
**** I wanted to do this story the way that it appears because the reveal of things and the characters looked better to me than just one long haul by the crawling calendar since there are years to this tale. There will be less of that toward the end because all of the relevant pieces will lie in the reader's mind like hopefully an almost-completed jigsaw pu...

However, on the day of their graduation ceremony, Kenji proposed to Aoi that very night. Aoi had met Kenji when they were freshmen at college. Their school was located right...
Thank you Tigerssman for your help with this story * The priest walked over to Joy's house to have a talk to her. "I want to preface my statement by saying I have not been sworn to secrecy, but Miss Noel has been, either by being asked or being self-imposed." He then told Mr. Jacob's story. Miss Joy was horrified. "Now, I don't know why he told me, maybe...
Smythe knew he was running out of time. After Elaina had spoken to him on the Plane urging him to find Jeira and Hamlin before the Druids did, he'd spent the rest of that night and most of the next day searching Ironshire high and low. Finally, he'd found someone who'd seen them, only to be told that the couple had left several days ago, bound for their farm...
