The following story is a work of fiction. Science fiction, to be precise. Any resemblance between characters in the story and any real persons, living, dead or waiting to be born, is purely coincidental.

Chapter 14- The Vote and Just Friends The four friends sat around a triangle table in the dining area of the Leaky Cup the next morning. Rain and Ahira had given them the details of the Shadow Thieves offer the night before and they decided to wait for Christie to make a decision on whether to take the offer or not. "What do we know about vampires in the g...
"It looks like rain," she said, unbuttoning her blouse. Trying not to stare as this strange woman removed her blouse, I moved my eyes back and forth between looking up at the skies and then looking back into her steel blue eyes.

The summer rain shower had caught him completely off guard. He had to run outside and drive the old tractor into the barn to keep the rain from getting into the motor.

See every since the wine tasting, she's been heavy on my mind. This is starting to get weird. So far we've been able to handle the limo ride with no problems, al...
I've always enjoyed standing and dancing in the rain during a rather hard rain storm. The wind wraps around you like a lovers arms, and the rain falls upon your skin like light kisses, yearning for your skin. For a long time I stood in the rain all alone.

Over the next three days the group of friends went about the business of finding a way home. The Shadow Thieves met their end of the bargain and Gayle did indeed send the thirty thousand gold to the group which gave them more than enough gold to finance their expedition home; enough gold that even the frugal dwarf gave each of the companions equal shares to...
She had driven earlier down the long quiet road to her favorite spot overlooking a valley, and in the distance, the warm fire of an early summer sunset in Arizona. This spot was magical she thought to herself as she stepped into her car, the last of the orange glow on the horizon slowly disappearing. It smells like rain she thinks to herself as she looks off...
