It was like Eddy was looking through some sort of distorting mirror. The man looking back at him looked like he took all the features Eddy had and made them perfect. Eddy's double chin was replaced with a chiseled chin, void of any fat. Edward's black hair was cut short and stylish, unlike the mop that Eddy kept. Even Edward's eyes held an intensity that int...
My name is Tina. This is the story of how I became the slut I am today. I had just finished my sophomore year of college, studying bio-chemistry. I decided to eschew the summer classes most of my classmates were taking in favor of a backpacking trip across Europe. After securing my parents approval I bought a backpack, packed my clothes, and made the plane...
Author's Note: Wow. Chapter Five got seriously antagonized, especially with the arrival of Thatcher. While I won't go into detail about some of the comments that really just *irked* me, I will say this: Everything I write in these chapters *is relevant*. See that? RELEVANT.

In the garden of the manor, a fairy made of marble reaches for an absent hand. Her white, stone form is poised gracefully in a frozen gesture.

The sky is lit by a waning gibbous eye...

This is what they chose, I hope you enjoy it, and have a spooky Samhain! ***** CHAPTER 1: HIGH-RISE The angry beeping of car horns filled the air as Ethan weaved through the bustling crowds of pedestrians that clogged the sidewalk,...
