-XIII- When morning broke, the lovers awakened on the far side of each other, but had dreamt they were never apart. As she stirred, her world for once made of something painfully beautiful, Valentine knew a moment of pure joy. She rose glowing, chest burning with ferocious happiness. When grogginess faded and her mind was sharp with the day, her emotions b...
The Imperial City's magical academy's opening ceremonies were not the fanciest or the most attended events the academy hosted. It was primarily just to welcome the new students and there were no special performances. The welcoming event definitely was nothing in comparison to the magic competitions that filled the same arena with thousands of eager spectator...
I am new to writing. I'm sure I still have much to learn. This is my first attempt at a submission on this site. I hope that you enjoy it. This story is fictitious, but the basis comes from true events. It's a bit long with a slow start, so probably not the best for those looking for a quick thrill. Please vote and leave comments. I never understood this ple...
Thanks for reading my series, Tom & Sue John & Debbie! If you haven't read the previous Chapters, 1-11, please do so before reading this chapter. Otherwise, you're going to miss a lot of the details as each chapter builds on the previous chapter. Chapter 10, gives the readers a 'hint' as to what will happen to the characters as they continue to take the read...
Hi All, This is my second submission of this story. The first, for all the proof reads, among other issues had many spelling mistakes and even I found it difficult to read and I wrote it. I hope this one finds less errors. Not much in the way of character changes but perhaps explains a little more. This was supposed to be a short bit of fluff but it went a...
For Lian. 'It is not enough that I succeed, everyone else must fail.' Genghis Khan. 'Be the change you want to see in the world.' Gandhi. ****** Cool air. He smelt damp and old stone, a little musty. Beneath it, fainter, the resinous smell of wood. "You alright, Jayden?" Gentle Irish lilt. "Yes, Father." He swallowed, nodded briefly, Father O'Connell...
M Hotel booked. Travel routed. Time taken. Bags packed. I was so excited by the time we were leaving I didn't need any coffee. I was so awake. Cal, of course, fixed himself a to-go cup and we caught breakfast on the road. Randy had tried to go to sleep at a reasonable hour, but going to bed at one or two when he was used to sleeping at three or four, then...
25. What The Hell Is Going On, When, and Where? (Atwater Luck: 5:30 AM Local Time) "Good morning all you wonderful, sleepy, people. This is Senior Captain Montgomery Oberlin, the mother of 1 7/8 children speaking. Today is the big day, and that's why I'm speaking to you this early in the morning. The damn baby in my stomach has the brains of his father, wh...
Okay folks, it is finally here; chapter six has arrived! It only took me nearly six months to write it (which, unfortunately, included some severe procrastination on my part). I would like to thank all the fans who wrote me asking for and helping motivate me to finish this chapter. I would also like to personally thank immortalman18 and malaknight1818 for re...
Chester McAdams was casually driving down the highway towards home with a content attitude. He wasn't in a hurry because he had finished his work for the day. His work was basically just helping people who he liked or who had a need. Recently, life had been good to Chester or Chet as he was known. No one really knew what he did or how he earned his money but...
