Lyft had only been back in Austin for a few days. I jumped at the chance to take up my old side gig as was back on the road shortly their after. At the time, I had no idea my first passenger would change my world. I recognized her the second she opened the door; although I'd last laid my eyes on her more than a decade ago.

Under her cloak, Monica was almost naked. Despite the nighttime chill in the air, she wasn't cold, she was anxious. She had come here, to "their" spot, as she had every ten years for the last 600 years. Monica had been blessed by all of the forces that controlled the world, to live, die and be reborn anew. Monica also remembered every second of her former l...
Kat: With the crunch of the fall activities over and my work schedule settling down, I found myself training the new employee, Sondra, on how I wanted to receive the files from her.
