THE SATYR It was nearly sunset in the tiny (though not as tiny as some) village of Kusta when a barefoot, ivory-skinned, steely-eyed girl walked through the very outskirts and farms on her way to the center. The village that the strange girl had come from was so tiny, that market had only been held one day a week. Kusta was large enough so that market was e...
Chapter 10 - Great grandfather's hoe rises again Gary had been working all morning in his garden. The day had started cloudy but the sun had come out to brighten things up and it had been further brightened by the appearance of Melanie at his garden gate in the early afternoon. She had come in from the loke, her dress swishing around her knees and, despite...
Wilma stared is dismay at what her lawn had come too. Yellowish patches echoed the vileness of her gardening life. Dandelions scattered through her soul.

The air conditioner kept the tractor cab to the same comfort level as my living room in spite of the ninety-five degrees of searing, July heat. I hit the hydraulics to raise the cultivator, made the turn, and lined back up on the next eight rows of soybeans. Another tap on the hydraulic lever caused the gleaming sweeps to bite into the rich, black, Illinois...

She walks over and takes a seat next to him. "Is everything okay?" She asks, slightly caressing his arm. "Everything's good. Why do you ask?" "I don't know, it seems lik...
Prrrr, prrrr, prrrr. Roos wordt wakker van het geluid van de wekker. Het geluid van regenval tikt op het dak van haar appartement. Snel snoozet ze haar wekker en kruipt ze nog even lekker onder de dekens van haar tweepersoonsbed. Langzaam wordt Roos wakker en realiseert ze zich dat vandaag het nieuwe studiejaar eindelijk begint.

I woke up to a knock on the door. I slowly got up off the floor and felt sore and used. I opened the door. “Oh my god” Mr. Bernstein said. I completely forgot I was still naked.
