It has been a long and busy day at the office and I was handed a major [paper to read and comment on to take home with me. My boss needed my report first thing in the morning. I left a little early – after I called you to let you know – and you promised an early dinner so I could spend a quiet evening completing the task. When I arrived home about 5:00 pm (...
I sat in the bleachers, the sun hitting my pale skin nicely as I watched one of the players throw the ball to Jet. Jet... I guess I should explain myself to you a little bit. My name is Harley, though everyone calls me Byra {Bee-rah}. It supposedly means red in some kind of language, and everyone calls me that because apparently when I'm pissed, all I see...
Brandon could hear the steady drip from the faucet in the next room. Drip. Drip. Drip. He found the sound strangely soothing. Like a metronome, it provided him with a beat. With a beat.

Sonora had been kind to him, taking him...
Narcissus was quick to reach the bottom of the tree, but Xanthe was quickly learning how to safely climb down the trunk. As her feet touched the moss covering the ground of the oasis, Narcissus took her hand, looking into her eyes with a smile. He walked away, leading her, to the edge of the oasis. He didn't pause when he reached the sand, pulling her out on...
I was attending a conference down in Miami as part of the yearly team building process for my company. People were coming from all around the world to stay at the Hilton hotel in the center of the city. The conference itself was quite fun with lots to learn and do.
