By Dan57 and Cih Lydia woke up early as she had to walk three miles to the cotton fields. The other workers used pick up lorries but it was for her an easy way to exercise somewhat. Cotton harvesting is tedious but not overmuch demanding. The only problem was the terrible heat of the Indian summer. The workers used to start working early in the morning and...
How long had he been in this place. How long had it been since his eyes beheld light? Days, years? Time had lost all meaning to him. His world was all darkness, a tiny ledge above a bottomless pit.

I probably should have been spending my time trying to track down where those photos had come from, or perhaps trying to get an audience with Arachne.

Naz traced her fingers along the outline of Marielle's collarbone. The older woman continued to pay her no heed, her fingers tapping steadily on a keypad and eyes fixated upon the diagnostic screen in front of her. She decided to escalate a little, leaning forward on Marielle's shoulder and running her fingers along the side of her lover's neck. "Naz, I kno...

Harvey stood outside of Jake's house, taking a deep, steadying breath before he knocked on the massive double doors. He wasn't sure what he was expecting, Jake was very unpredictable when it came to Jezebel. He had pulled up half expecting to see either Jezebel chained to a tree in the front yard, or Jake bludgeoned to death on the front steps. "So far so...
