He knows that he doesn't know her but he is sure he's seen her before. Where? He moves through the throng of shoppers, never breaking eye contact, closing the gap betwee...
"Dang it!" I said as I looked through he archives. I couldn't find a file on the strange elf that saved me. I had been looking all day for anything on him.

As much as a family can love its precious daughter, they must understand that someday, she'll have to flap her wings and fly away. That's the way of nature, and of the mundane world. I wish my parents understood that. My name is Nasira "Nana" Boubacar...

I lucked out this year and got a single with a huge living room, full kitchen, wall-to-wall windows, full views of the Brooklyn Bridge, and the ideal place to throw a party. The price of admission is always vodka/rum...
