RED I opened my eyes with a huge goofy smile. My head was throbbing with happy drugs, and I felt the tingling, buzzing feeling at the stump of my left arm had moved, maybe, three inches further down than it had been. I turned my head to the side and saw that yeah. Yeah. The stump was a bit longer. Bones and muscles, growing out from the severed nothingness...
'And cut! That's a wrap. Good job, guys. See you tomorrow.' With a loud, mechanical *buzz* and shouts from the crew, the warm set lights faded and the harsh studio lights burst on. I left the set, got out of costume, and headed to my trailer. An assistant jogged up to me. 'Ms Dyer, a car will be out front for you in fifteen minutes'. 'Thanks'. I smiled pol...
They sat together on the couch, both tired after long days at work. He, having changed out of his stuffy business clothes into a more comfortable t-shirt and sweatpants. She, only having walked in a few minutes ago, still in her teal camisole, dress pants, and black heels. His eyes had watched every inch of her as she'd headed his way, drinking in the si...
"I'm coming!" Kevin panted. It was a bit of a struggle to make it to the door quickly without feeling out of breath. The doorbell had just been rung and it was the pizza delivery he had called it not half an hour earlier in the evening. The pizza place in town had always been prompt with his order. He was by far the best tipper they had and everyone was ha...
The night was quiet. Even the wind made no sound. No cars drove by, no people on the sidewalks. It was as if they were waiting, anticipating something big. Inside the house with the white picket fence, and the perfectly trimmed green grass, on the second floor, behind a locked bathroom door, the sounds of light humming could heard. She stood there naked, i...
It was one damn fine day on Monhegan, as they say here. Don Annas came in from walking the path to the bluff and then back through the orchard. Sylvia heard the screen door clatter. "You got sand on those shoes?" she called. "Already doing it!" he lied, and kicked the deck shoes off to join the rest of them by the door. "I saw three deer! In the orchard by...
Copyright Pending -------------------------------------------------------------- On the other side of the door, Mattei found a line of women who appeared to be waiting for the men as they came through the door. The woman at the very front walked towards him. "Hello," she said, her voice firm with authority, but yet friendly. "I'm Dr. Lura Izaki, but you ca...
She looked at Aida's unconscious form and broke into a satisfied smile. She could hardly believe their good fortune to have gotten Aida so easily. With Aida as hostage, Alex would have no choice but to bow to her whims and fancies. She would let him sweat for the next few days first before calling him about Aida. That would definitely weaken his state of min...
I entered a long hallway in a large industrial building with many offices. The building was empty now since it was quite late in the afternoon, but I still looked carefully around that no one saw me entering. I walked to the first door on the left and took a deep breath. You have to have been on inside to know what is behind this anonymous door, so most...
And here is the last full chapter! Chapter 12: All Good Things Drool is flying out of Dave's mouth and into my ear. If he were a Bernard Shepard, I might find it only mildly annoying. But considering he's leaning over me and giggling, I'm ready to yank on the tongue hanging out of his mouth and rip it out of his snickering skull. But I can't take my eyes o...
