Part 2. My First Day On Tuesday, I rushed home after school and told my mom I was going over to Mrs. D’Harley’s to start work. I said I was going to have a shower first and she asked me why I was going to do that before work rather than after. A good question I guess, because I got all flustered and didn’t know what to say. I guess I subconsciously thought...
Zelinnia turned over and curled up under Renwa's arm. "I should get Elunara to do that more often." She ran her tongue over her teeth. "I need to make sure my teeth are in order after you got through rattling them out of me." He grinned. "Care to–" He sighed at the baby's cry. "Ah well. We got the most out of it." She snorted. "You're the one who wanted a...

In January of 2006, a who's who of young starlets began disappearing. It started out with Jessica Biel, who had ducked into the bathroom at the opening of a small boutique in L.A.

She wasn't ugly but she certainly wasn't cheerleader material but was generally liked and respected by her peers and teachers at her high school. She lived in a relatively small town on the outskirts of Jackson Mississippi and was a happy child. She wanted to experience everything life had to of...
Man, the band was fucking rockin'! It was a great gig. Even the fucking drummer was finally playing like he wasn't smokin' something. I felt it. The crowd felt it. The pit was slammin' and the kids were fucking going shit-for-brains. The only thing distracting me that night was my sister's dancing. The guys in the band pushed me to do it. Let her dance. Ther...
"I hate doctors" Emma thought to her self as the carriage rattled over the cobble stones. "Why does he have to treat me like a child, I'm 21, and he still treats me like a little girl; I have a right to be consulted." Emma glanced across at her mother, sitting ridged as a board next to her. "It's all mothers fault, Mother and Dr Bennet - why do they get to t...
There was dead silence as the announcement came over the intercom. "This is your Captain speaking. The official remembrance of Earth Day begins now. The next twelve hours should be spent in reflection of what has been lost." We had all been waiting for it. Every year we gathered in small groups throughout the ship to listen, to mourn. If you chose, you co...
The black stretch limousine bearing the plates of a U.S. senator eased around the traffic circle at the center of Temperance Hill. Sen. Helene Falkland picked up the limo's intercom to buzz her chauffeur. "Use the bank president's parking space," Helene said. "He's expecting me." The chauffeur nodded, glancing in the rear view mirror. She was beautiful. T...
It was one of those balmy early Fall days, the leaves on the trees overhung the river dressed in Magenta and Gold. I could see them from the huge deck I had built on the West side of our house overlooking the water, just a half mile away. I knew the Fall Chinook would be arriving, it was early for them but still, such a pretty day, worth a shot. I asked my...
