Pt. 5 – In Keiji's room; love and choice. "Keiji, wait," I said, stopping in my tracks just outside the train station. I wasn't sure if it was nerves or "morning" sickness (which is conveniently available at any time of day for all of your vomiting needs), but I felt like I was going to toss my cookies. Keiji had gained a few steps on me as he headed towa...
Alex It was Friday, two days after I met Ash on the Metro. The hour was drawing near when I was supposed to meet El for coffee, but I still hadn't decided what to say. It was a brisk night, but as the coffee shop was only about 3/4 of a mile away, I decided to walk and mull over my situation with El. The same arguments played out in my head as had for the...
I'd like to thank everyone for all the great comments and encouragement. I just couldn't stop after the first chapter, I seem to like writing these characters. So here's chapter 2, I hope you all like it. "Mmf, hello?" "It's up. It's on the site." "Hm? Daisy? What're you talking about? What time is it?" "Midnight? Oh shit, were you asleep? Sorry," she sa...
The area was really going down hill. Jo had seen a distinct change in the area since the new flats had been built. As she drove her Mini Cooper from work and turned into the street, she could see a small group of youths talking and posing on the corner. They all looked around as she drove past and parked her car next to the white van just to the side of her...
"Oh good, you're here. I just dialed in," Allison said. "That coffee..." "From last night, just got here myself." "Damn, who scheduled this call so early?" Harry asked, closing the door. "Half our crew is overseas, so we're here early," she replied, shrugging her long dark hair off her shoulders. "But we aren't really involved on this project." "As soo...
Hi there, my name is Damien and I want to tell you a story. It’s a pretty shitty story at that so bear with me. I am in a unique situation, but I’ll let the story fill you in the details. Here we go…….. Prelude Spending 60 days in country on my first time with Zero Section of the CIA’s SOG section and surprisingly it was boring. Composed mostly of watching,...
Author's Note: For those readers who are not familiar with the 'In a Mirror Darkly' espisodes of Star Trek Enterprise, this is an episode in which Archer and the crew are seen as they would be in a 'mirror' universe. Archer is a power-hungry jerk. These episodes (a two-parter, actually) puts the 'Ho' in Hoshi. One more note for those who are wondering. The...
Chapter 1 After half an hour in the waiting room, the door to doctor Stevens' office finally opened. A middle-aged woman walked out, shook the doctor's hand and left. The 23 years old athlete had recently moved into a new city to join a football team, and had signed up for an experimental regimen involving new legal drugs, aiming to improve his performance...
When the doorbell rang I was ready and waiting. Justin was always on time for our little playdates. It was rather flattering really and it made the planning much easier. I opened the door to and ushered him inside. He greeted me nicely and I sent him upstairs to the spare room to prepare himself. Shortly afterwards I heard his footsteps as he made his way...
New York has never been more brilliant. From the driver's seat of your Honda Pantheus it's a blur of neon glows and the strobe of office windows seen between concrete traffic pylons. In your wake it's all a river of light and the sense of euphoria you feel as you step on the accelerator can only be matched by the ravenous curiosity about your late night rend...
