"Lunch with the berg," Dylan gave a low whistle as Gwyneth finally plopped herself down at her desk. "Someone's becoming the new teacher's pet." She felt a little flustered when he said that, but she kept her cool and refused to let the comment weigh down on the endorphin rush she was currently experiencing.

It had rained hard all day and the neon bar signs made the puddles in the street look like radiant paint smudges. Amelia's heart was thumping so hard in her chest that she was almost worried as she walked towards a bar she had never been to, in a part of town she had never visited for a reason that surprised even her. The tip-tap of her heels matched the rhy...
Part 1: Lilith Returns Chapter 1 The Abyss. Formless and shapeless nothingness. How long have I been in the darkness? Years? Centuries? Eons? Too long. It began as a gentle tugging, an undercurrent drawing me down, down, down. The current became far more forceful, an irresistible pull. Dragging me toward a single point of light. A Summoning.

That professor is so boring. And on a beautiful Friday too." "The weather is perfect. We deserve a little break." "You got that right, girl. Thanks for inviting me along." "Th...
CHAPTER 14 In the spring of 1986 local body elections were held throughout the country. There was more than usual interest in the mayoralty contest in the Miranda District, a two-candidate race. Anyone coming into the town could have been forgiven for thinking the incumbent mayor was being elected unopposed. Posters of an artist-enhanced photo of him were...
Chapter 2 – Concert in the park. I stretched my body luxuriously as I woke up, the sun warm on my arms, legs and face. I looked over and Tracy still looked asleep. I got up and put on my short terry cloth robe and headed down to the showers. The hot water felt wonderful on my skin as I washed, cleaning my dried honey off my center brought out a small priva...
