Tap, tap. Alana's eyes snapped open at the sound. Tap, tap. Something was tapping on the window by her bed. Tap, tap, tap. It was becoming increasingly urgent sounding. She looked to where Eric would have been next to her, if he hadn't been out of town. Tap, tap, tap. Feeling frightened and foolish, she got out of bed and went to the window. As she reac...

My name is James. My friends call me Jim. The year is 2006. I'm twenty-six years old, well educated and last year landed a stellar job with a huge, national corporation in New York City. Actually, the company prefers to call it a position rather than a job. After only a year, my hard work and master's degree in Information Technology, got me promoted to proj...
Dala dropped three storeys, a perfect landing, the gentle thud of impact lost amidst the distant rumble of traffic on the highway. There were no streetlights in the alley, and the windows were dark. Even the stars were concealed as ever by cloud and city pollution. But Dala saw well enough. Her mutation gave her night-sight, as well as her feline reflexes a...
