Author's Note: I wrote this about nine months ago and back then I thought it was the best thing ever!

Jake walked into the room. It was brutally cold. He could see his breath and even feel his joints ache as he entered. A shiver ran up and down his body. He felt it was screwy since outside it was almost 40 degrees. He could hear The Mamas and the Papas playing softly throughout the room. It was dimly lit by lights hung from the high ceiling.

Her eyes seemed to burn as they stared into my soul. I lay in my bed. She had awoken me without making a sound or giving me the slightest motion. Her deepened gaze was enough to stir me from my sleep. She wore a long black dress and had long black hair. Her eyes though, her eyes were blue as the pale spring ice.

Litastia III - Planet of Desire 01 Scouts Scout Yassna and Scout First Class Illyanskin walked carefully over the rough, fungus covered terrain in the half-light of the planet's dawn. Havi Yassna giggled a little as Illyanskin's large, strong, hands lifted her by the hips over a small ridge in her path, her pitch increasing as he released her and she conti...
The mysterious Cristobal Balenciaga... These words lingered in my brain as I walked off the business class section of the international flight and into Arkhangelsk's Talagi Airport's peculiar, mdf-walled inner-sleeve tunnel behind the actual walls of the short-term stop-over area.

His birth name was Simon, and his friends used to call him Si; now he preferred people not to know his name. He didn’t have an address, or a phone number. He had an identification card once, but that burnt with his house. He’d only been in trouble with the police once, and they didn’t take his fingerprints. They simply made him sleep it off in a cell.
