She was in one of her University's main libraries, off in a corner looking at the wall where she...
The small light cruiser made its approach to the Sol's system ignoring the patrolling warships outside the system.

He knew he had spoiled the girls all their lives and especially after his own wife's death, giving them money to go to the mall whenever they wanted, sending them to an exclusive board...
So I am sitting here at home on a Friday morning, writing, on the phone, taking care of things as usual. The kids are at their Dad's that tonight, I have a light weekend ahead. There's a knock at the front door. It is obviously someone who does not know me, as I don't use this door. I walk out the side and up to the front. I'm casually dressed, cotton pants,...
Run Over Fargo, North Dakota. Mid-January—5pm. "Hey Dad?" "Uh huh?" "I'm gonna go over to the clinic for a couple of hours." "Isn't it closing soon?"
