A woman sat beside him, looking across the table at Tom Lynch, but saying nothing. At length, he closed the folder and spoke. "I'm Pavel Janecek, Detective Sergeant, E Division. This is De...
Act Two: Secret Origins Chapter Two: Anything That You Can't Break The gloom of a New Moon twilight settled over long stretches of grassy, undeveloped commercial lots. The elevated highway loomed ahead, but the onramp was nowhere in sight. Dee flipped on the car's high beams, switched off the radio, and drove into the whistling wind, waiting for the other...
I love summer. I hate the heat and the humidity, especially in the City. But I do love the Summer. Dresses get shorter and heels get higher.

I felt myself becoming restless underneath the covers. It was late Wednesday morning, and I had my duvet pulled over my head to block out the god-awful light.

The absolutely Beautiful Robin Meade stood before the group of women and looked rather nervous. She was squeezing her hands as she began; "Ladies a number of you do not know me personally because I'm from Atlanta and do not work at Fox News where most of you are from. I'm happy to see a few familiar faces from CNN and Headline News here. My fantasy was one t...
