Cracks and hisses came from the roaring fire as Donal' sat leaning back against the side of the hearth. He had spent another uneventful day waiting for the night to come and Mhari to appear. He watched her run her tongue over her lips, concentration on her face. She held up a hand and ran her thumb over the tips of her fingers. Satisfied with the result she...
SOPHIE’S FLAT - SATURDAY AFTERNOON Sophie lay back in her bath, eyes closed, luxuriating with the warm water up to her chin. She heard the telephone ringing in the other room. Her answer machine switched on and she waited to hear the caller’s message. She heard the voice of her boss at the television channel. “Hi, Sophie. Frank here. Something big has jus...
"Set P to 0," said Emily as her friend walked into her lab. "Emily," said Mary, a gorgeous brunette, "how are you today and who is this?" Mary had pointed with her eyes to the man standing beside her, his 6' tall, barrel-chested physique barely contained by his scrubs.

5 am, Saturday. Ann woke to her alarm clock blaring out Black Sabbath. Ann always had a taste for hard rock, something that always made her friends and family cringe when the heard her listening to it. She lived in a small fishing community on the Atlantic Coast.

It was now October and we realized that with the summer heat and rain gone, we wouldn't be mowing as many lawns as we had been. This was OK with us as we had really been overworking ourselves.

Sunday mornings in the apartment I share with Ebony are always lazy and relaxed. I was up and around first making some coffee when Ebony's bedroom door opened and she emerged, yawning and rubbing her eyes. "Hi Candy, what time is it?" she asked. "Almost eleven fifteen," I replied. "Jesus," "how did I manage to sleep so long?" The sight of Ebony's silk...
I didn't want to turn to a life of crime; it was necessary to draw out my target. Gateway City had a new and cagey criminal. ME! I called myself simply, Chuck. I wanted to use the name of an old pulp and radio magician, but I respected the character too much. Even so, I appropriated the look.
