(Thanks to Shawhollow for taking so much time to edit so many of my stories. Thank you.) *Your private life and public life are never separate because the brain never stops thinking* "Are you going to tell me what that was about?" I hint to Echo as my car pulls away from the charity event. "I can't right now," she furrows her brow. "I need to think a...

William seemed too accepting, too well adjusted after the death of Dink. The dog had been his constant companion since the teen's birth and had saved his life twice. He should have been struggling through his grief, but th...

I find it cathartic to share who I am and hopefully inspire others to be true to themselves. ************************************************** Four months had passed since I had l...
Heather Rhodes' POVArrowhead Pack, Roadkill's HouseNew Year's Eve Morning The knock on the door woke me up. It was still dark out, no shock around here where the sunrise wasn't until almost eight in the morning.
