Irina sat sobbing, her face buried in her hands. Sitting across the room I just stared at her, too stunned to feel the anger and grief I knew would be coming. I was vaguely aware of tears on my cheeks, as I gazed past her out the window to the beautiful sight of the sun sliding down into the Pacific.

"I choose..." Mickie yelled loudly, knowing she would need to if she wanted to get the attention of her fellow WWE divas. She succeeded, Melina and Trish immediately falling silent and waiting for Mickie's decision. Not that Mickie was that much closer to deciding. Both her former and current girlfriend had proven they were as good as each other, but she k...
Not that it matters, but the accident was really my fault. I had no business being in the parallel universe projector to begin with. At the very least I should have disconnected the power line from the booth before I tried to re-calibrate its orientation circuits.
