Work is always hectic around Christmas time, but at least I get offered overtime more now. It's 7PM and I'm still sitting here at my desk, going over spreadsheets. I had a nightmare the day before about getting lost in Excel...I need to get out of this job. But, Christmas is looming like a gigantic demonic Santa intent on stealing the souls of little kids an...
Janeway helps 7 of 9 Chapter:4 Whose baby is it? Janeway shifted in her seat, trying to hide the accelerated bump showing now under her uniform.

Michelle and John were still at the kitchen table, after having had their supper, in heated discussion about a masquerade party they were to attend that night. “Honey,” he said placatingly, “we’re both to blame.

Dìpucitna's sanguine arrow pierced my pallid flesh. I felt it tear in and through my mortal breast, three and a quarter inches below my left collarbone -- with a searing sting and violent flood of sickly white-hot heat -- before the cold clutch, pull, and tug; as half my human heart was torn from me.

Lauren turned off the water to the shower, careful not to get her hair wet. Some of the dark strands still clung to her wet shoulders, but she still had to style it and get ready so it wasn't that bad. This was her third shower for the day. Not that she had needed them any of them. It was nerves and an intense desire to be perfect for her date tonight that h...
Lotus came bounding up to my home a few minutes after my mother screamed herself into a coma. It was past dark and she was beside herself with anger when I told her about the boy's plan.
