I really felt something that had gone missing had been found and finding it gave me that feeling of wholeness that I had not known for a long time. Lyn just nestled her body into mine as we sat in the shelter on the promenade, waiting for a respite from the squally showers that...
First a shout out for the editor: Finchley. What would happen if we discovered an omniscience device? Finding Time Chapter 1 Stars in my Eyes It was a fuzzy black ball of mystery.

One of dock workers tried to smash an attacking octopus with his clipboard, but missed, getting tangled up in its arms. A second octopus soon found his head, crunc...
~~Jack~~ The meeting at Bloodlust went about as well as he expected. There was awkwardness, and strangeness, weirdness, and all the synonyms. But once they realized Antoinette wasn't there to destroy them or spy on them, they seemed to settle in. Triss turned into a punk, Jen turned into a slut, Fiona was all giggles, and even Athalia managed to crack a smi...
