Tera could scarcely conceal her excitement as she walked into the coffee shop and sat down in front of Alexa. "You won't believe what happened last night, Alexa. Everything worked out just the way you said it would. Except, maybe only better!" Alexa smiled warmly and replied, "I can't wait to hear the details. Fill me in!" Tera related the events of the pr...
The night before, I woke up at 1 a.m. Sara was still sleeping by my side, getting up I found a notebook and continued to searched for a pen. Upon finding it, he wrote a note, folded it into a bird using origami and placed the paper crane next to the sleeping young woman. I started to get dress and putting on my shoes, walking back to the bedroom I smiled gaz...
Michael laid his head back against the soft leather of the Mercedes seat, closing his eyes, trying to process the events of the past hour, hell the past few days. 'Where were you?' the question filtered through his thoughts not expecting an answer but also curious as to the whereabouts of.... whatever the hell it was.... that always seemed to make an appear...
Georgina took her cup of coffee to the sitting room, and looked at the luggage she had packed earlier.

The Den is currently camped near Austin in what used to be Texas, USA. and Zara, the owner and absolute dictator of the Den, has asked for help from the New Texas Star Ra...
No one knows exactly how it started. Some say global warming brought them out of their natural habitat, others that we just encroached on their territory one too many times. I've even heard it was just one cute female hiker who stumbled into the wrong part of forest at the wrong time. Whatever it was, something that had only ever been dismissed as a myth sud...
Every culture, every race, every religion and every nationality has stereotypes attached to it and it's hard to live them down. The same holds true no matter where you're from.
