Chapter 2: Entropy and Sorrow's Kiss Alan Burnett listened to an oldies radio station, an AM station that had been around since a year longer than forever - and that had a play-list that seemed comfortably lost in the seventies. Steely Dan was still Reelin' In The Years, and the cop sat in the air conditioned Dodge Police Interceptor, his thumbs drumming aw...
I suggest you read Parts 1 & 2. It will explain the characters and events so far and how they flow into this continuation. Part 3 became longer than I intended, but my characters wouldn't let me stop until their story was told completely. Constructive comments, emails, and critiques are more than welcome and very much appreciated. I hope you enjoy the...
"When young I was not as others,I loved the mountains, hills and misted rivers. But Oh I was dazzled by visions of powerAnd've only returned in this, my final hour." - Tao Yuan-ming, 365-427 Perfect stillness cloaks the garden. Snow lies white and deep.

FRIDAY Layla couldn't remember the last time she'd made her bed when the sheets weren't still warm from being freshly cleaned. Her bed was only ever made from whenever she put them on until she pulled them out from their tucked position to wrap in them like a big cozy worm. With all the huge beds Selena had in her house, even with two people in them, and n...
"Grandpa, Grandpa! Look at the bird!" exclaimed little Tanya. Her grandfather, Michele or simply "Pa" to the children, cocked his head turning his black eyes skyward.

Somewhere on the South American islands of the Parovian Atoll, a party was underway. It was New Years day, but like any other day on the island paradise of Parovia, every day was a party day. The beaches were full. The clubs were loud. The pools crowded with scantily clad tourists. Huge skyscraper hotels, entire villages of bungalows and tiki styled villas f...
I have chalked the summoning circle on the floor of the exams room and lit the candles. My spell book is in front of me and my bell is poised to ring the chimes that will open the door between dimensions. Procter Louisa Jona Caliper waits my attempt with a stern look. The summoning of a familiar is one of the most fundamental aspects of higher magery, and i...
I felt nothing when my father died. No sadness. Not because I hated him; I had rarely seen him in the last 10 years to to love or despise him. It's true that I left home in a bitter mood on that January day. I was 18 and a month. Now I'm 25; and my father lies stiff, in the best suit he's ever worn. If only my mother was alive to gloat. But I'm not here to...
I met a girl in a haze of cigarette smoke and too many beers That familiar pull at 2:30 AM where everyone is beautiful We drunk-walked to a booth and sat down both on the same side She kept touching the tip of my nose with her index finger When she did this she'd lean in close with her head ducked down She would look up with half blitzed eyes and smile with...
Infinitely better is the following scene with the great Jade Marcella taking on 3 hung black men. One of the guys has a 10 inch and very thick dick. Watching Jade M deep throat that black tree is very hot. And Jade looks very cute playing a shy geisha with a wreath of white lillies in her hair hiding behind her hand fan. (Don't worry, that's the extent of th...
