"Mr. Beckett? Do you have a minute, sir?" The minor league manager had been staring out the window for a good ten minutes, and his players had all noticed. So had the two assistant coaches. One of them mentioned it to the other and suggested they go see what was wrong. "Nope. Not goin' in there," his fellow assistant said. "He'll work it out." "I hope so....

Author's note: this is an unapologetically nonhuman love story told from a twin perspective. This story, Grey-Eye, tells the story from the female point of view; its sister story, Echobright, tells the story from the male perspective. Enjoy. * * * The wind roared under my wings, supporting me. With a powerful downward beat I thrust myself forwards through...
"Is Lucy here?" the young man asked. He was standing on my doorstep, a bouquet of flowers in hand and wearing a nice sport coat and tie. I didn't think young men his age even knew what a tie was. If it hadn't been for the tie and his genuinely pleasant smile I might have bitten his head off. This had been a rough day for me. Lucy, my granddaughter had co...

I was sure that I had lain for hours in this bed with Deadman beside me, making love at wakeful intervals, sleeping now and then with his heavy body half atop mine as it was now. A long time had passed since I had realized what was happening, and in that time, I believed, I had embraced my doom. I h...
My cries had turned to a silent agony, contorting my face as I gripped the sodden pillow. Not only had I lost my unborn child, but I also felt more alone right now than I ever had in my life. The hospital bed was horribly hard, making it impossible to sleep. Every pore of my body seemed to ache. To wail in mourning when my voice no longer could. Yet I took...
