Ealasaid did not know how long she had been in isolation. Food only came through the hatch in the door every few days, each time it was rotting the stench causing her empty stomach to roll but after what felt like weeks she was too hungry to care. She had vomited, the food refusing to stay down for more than a moment and now her stomach cramped. She curled...

Thank you so much. * On the second Saturday in March, Grant High School held its annual fundraiser. They had a carnival in the gym of the school.

When I woke up, it was 6:36 am. I could feel a warm body snuggled up affectionately against mine. I listened to the sound of soft, gentle breathing and realized that it was Lyndsay.

"Burn yerself out studyin' Tess?" I glanced from staring into the bottom of my empty coffee cup to see Joe, one of the old men that came into Quick-N-Good, smiling at me. I must have looked as bad as I felt because his smile faded. He sat across from me and took a sip of coffee. I went back to staring into the empty cup. "Trouble with school... or boyfrien...
A/N: I keep telling people, this is not for the faint of heart. But they don't believe me, and they get sad when an animal gets squished. Everyone is above 18 though, for sanity's sake. ---------------------------- There is something very calming about late afternoons, thought Zuroh, as he closed his eyes and leaned against the tree trunk.

Hello everyone, I'm back with another adventure. This story is a collaborative effort with my good friend and buddy CelticCat. Her characters will undoubtedly make an appearance in this new world. As you know, I can't just end a story. I always find a way to keep going. Well, In "Brother Wolves", a new pack formed. I asked myself, what happened next. In "Ba...
Andrei helped Loretta down from the desk smiling ruefully at the mess the office was in. Playing chase indoors was not such a good idea even if it was kind of fun. "We appear to have gotten a little carried away," he drawled, his tone full of amusement as Loretta looked down at the phone, papers and laptop lying on the thick carpet. "Hope your laptop still...
After I hadn't heard from either of them for nearly two weeks, I determined to hunt down Myra and get some answers before I did another thing! It took me three days to track her down and I had to do it the old fashioned private eye way with a 24 hour stakeout and tailing them that eventually led me to the serpent's lair, literally. The Serpents Lair (wasn't...
(Informative note. My name is Connor Murphy. I'm sitting here in this huge library and I don't know where to start. I can't believe that I'm here. Me, sitting at the dusty heart of Vatican City! They're treating me well but with a very watchful eye, let me tell you! It's been two years since I was in Sixville last and I've only just begun to rebuild my l...
