Greater New York Jinro could see cranes dancing in the imperial garden at Kyoto. Their antics, wings flapping, necks dipping and gyrating, were graceful, choreographed by evolution over thousands of years. The vision was faded like an old photo or distant memory. He'd left Japan with to live with his American father when he was 9, and filled his head with t...
A sharp frost was already forming in the sub-zero temperatures of the red-light district. From her position beneath the arches, Raven heard the sound of a police siren approaching. Although just as she was about to leave, the siren disappeared into the distance - it wasn't the patrol car she had requested. After twenty minutes, she took out her police radio,...
Mariska awoke to the chiming of a comm device. She was disoriented, but the body stirring in bed next to her was enough to let her know what was going on. "Hey," Mariska said, reaching out to poke the slender form. "That's your comm." Svetlana Zhang sat up, rubbing the sleep from her eyes. She shook her head, and reached over to the bedside table. "Inspect...
Thaddeus returned to his car and drove in the direction of Avalon Avenue, where he knew Alice was expecting him. He had called her after leaving Hilda's apartment just to make sure she was there waiting for him; she'd probably cried her eyes over her friend who's now missing. When done with her, he would go in search of Kayla's mom to know what her side of t...
As usual my thanks go to LadyC and Techsan for their assistance in bringing this tale of woe to you. I've been somewhat delayed in posting this one because as I was writing it, I realised that I could take some of characters in this tale from "The Fall Guy".

As I often play around with a story after they have read it, I take full responsibility for the content and any cock-ups in this story. I regret that the post...
"Listen, the only reason I will allow you to continue breathing is to transport that wet cunt to wherever I say." He stroked her through her clothing, she tried to withdraw but she was being held by two strong men, one on each arm. "Your dripping minge is mine to be used and traded at my whim." He looked her fully in the face, she was attractive in an ang...
Here they were, cuddled on the couch watching a scary movie on a Saturday night. What was it this time? Some old black and white flick about a vampire in a castle. Trent had started to lose track of the titles. Watching horror movies on Saturday nights had recently become one of their weekend rituals. They were both self-proclaimed movie buffs. Trent was mor...
Life as a Chocobo Knight was a litter harder than I'd expected but having grown up around the large yellow birds, I felt right at home. Even though I was second in command of the unit it did take me a while to earn the respect of my subordinates. After two months they finally seemed to have accepted me among their ranks, thanks in no small part to the numero...
CHAPTER 4: FOOD OF THE GODS The colony had spent the first six months tackling all the problems that any new group of settlers have no matter how well planned their settlement may be. Equipment shortages and malfunctions, injuries and sickness, unexpected extremes of conditions and a thousand and one variations on Murphy's Law, that had been found to be equ...
