It took me a couple of seconds to connect the familiar voice with the face but when I finally did I bolted upright in my bed. "Megan?" "You remember me," she la...
David and the others stared at 'Lyssa as she lay there out cold. "Damn." Said David. "Is she all right?" asked Bitsy. David knelt next to 'Lyssa and patted her cheek gently. "Wake up Honey."

***So we continue with Ryan's recollections. This begins after the first night on what looks as though it might be where he'll be for the um, foreseeable future. Like any new arrival anywhere, he wants to see the lay of the land and what's shakin', so to speak and other top of mind things, like where's the nearest Starbuc - ok, maybe not that. 0_o *****...
Note: I adapted the poem from a 1706 play called "The Recruiting Officer". By George Farquhar. Though it is originally from that play, many of you may recognize it from a popular movie series that I also quite like. Raisel will be getting some next chapter, promise. * "One last time before you leave the city? Our women are beautiful and varied for all you...
Something was odd. Dan looked over at his neighbor's garage. The door was open, and trash cans were spilling out onto the driveway. It just wasn't like Kyle to leave his doors open.
