Your outlined form under the blankets is momentarily there with the dim light of the hall - then, gone as I quickly and quietly close the door. Gingerly making my way to the bed the soft scrunch of my bare feet on the carpeting sounds too loud, raising fears I may wake you. I slip from my clothes; the soft gentle rhythm of you breathing the only sound in th...
You were simply browsing your phone when you noticed a random app appearing on your phone, called InteractiveTUBE. You naturally assume it's some sort of random app you accidentally downloaded and decide to delete it, but before you do so, the name catches your interest. You open up the app, and as you do so, it explains the general rules to you: Picture Mod...
Anna's world came back in a rush of warmth. Elsa's arms were wrapped tightly around her, icy tears falling down her cheeks. Stiffly, she moved to wipe them off. "Anna? You're alive?" Elsa looked her up and down in amazement. "An act of true love will thaw a frozen heart, remember?" There was a flash of realisation on her sister's face. &q...

It had been a hard day at work, so you went to bed early, hoping to...
I re-read your electronic messages a dozen times imagining your voice, the way your lips move, your hands stretching over your face, removing your glasses, rubbing your eyes. The notes allow me to imagine that we actually spoke, in person. Another chance to be near you, to smell you and watch your hands dance in the air as you talk, move close to me and then...
Growing up, one of the things I hated was having to share a bedroom with my brother. Sharing with any brother would have sucked, but my brother was - well, I think the polite word is - an asshole.
