*Thanks to PokingFun for the wonderful edit* (There is no sex in this episode - sorry) (In the One in Ten story line, bad things happen to our protagonist and others. I could be seen as non-consensual, and it is, but that is not the root of the tale. It is about oppression, discrimination, and abuse of power. It is also about human worth, friendship and lo...
Gisela was shaking, but even as I considered offering her some comfort, I found my own body numb, and unwilling to move. Think, I told myself. We have Casey. The otherworlder. Gisela, and some of the Kobalt. It's fine, right? I mean, that still gave access to tons of information. As I pulled myself to my feet, Cameron came over to me. "What happene...
Beth stirred next to me, opening her eyes then immediately screwing them shut against the light. "Too bright..." She turned over. "Oh -- where's Francesca?" I indicated a folded piece of paper in the empty space on the bed. "Looks like she left us a note." Beth picked it up, reading aloud.

"Are you alright?" Amanda asked the new inmate, Emily, as they walked out of the kitchen and back towards Emily's cell. She could still feel the lingering effects of anger and took a deep breath, willing herself to calm down. "Yes, I'm fine now." Came the reply from the slightly shaken girl. She wasn't fine, and she probably wouldn't be for a while. Amanda...
AUTHOR'S NOTE: Again, gotta give props to my editor, Scooter! And thanks, mods, for getting the last three chapters out so quickly. I'm glad y'all like the story. I get discouraged when my ratings drop .15 with ONE -1- vote. But hey, it's all about the writing, right? YOUR COMMENTS: I don't always reply to comments on the chapters from people because I ne...
Frankie was surprised when Roy came home and said he'd seen Chisel, the schoolyard bully who had created such havoc in his life as a kid back in Philadelphia. "It's amazing, Frankie" Roy was saying as they had dinner. "Chisel's changed so much, he's a Buddhist now, and a probation officer as well." Frankie cocked her head, and a blonde curl fell into he...
