[Chapter 1] — Ordinary A heavy wooden door slams, kicking up dust on the city street outside. An individual, clad in golden, shiny armor with bags cluttered before him, stands on the other side of that door. A voice pipes up from the other side. The voice is domineering, harsh, and filled with anger. "Don't ever come back here unless you're in a coffin!"...

As Demetrius was dragged under the water, his eyes closed tight as he prayed that he would soon pass out. Fearing accidentally viewing the monstrous form of the Goddess, his curiosity was growing and fighting his natural terror and self-preservation instincts.

We were both in our early twenties, and we had plenty of energy to back up our fantasies. One day, she came home wit...
Thanks again for all the support, folks! Please enjoy the latest installment of my tale, straight from my caffeine-and-Deadmau5-addled brain to your eyeballs. ***** Kristin couldn't help but laugh. Jason said he loved her. Ha. Even if that were true, it no longer mattered. Love or no, he was going to come for her anyway. Kristin watched Jason's face go...
