"IN THE DARK" EDITED BY: Miriam Belle CREATIVE CONSULTANT: Simply_Cyn *** The sun illuminated the city of San Francisco in the waning hours of the morning; it's citizens hurrying to and from the home and office. Their business and commerce being of chief importance, lives so thoroughly involved with self that they rarely had time to stop and think of o...
We stood under a canopy of lavender foliage, amidst ancient trees whose upraised limbs soared high above our heads. Twilight glow radiated through the trees from all sides. Blue glow bugs flitted by, some near and some far, but none of that mattered. It was a picture perfect moment. I was in the arms of Le'ara, the elven huntress, and she was throwing hersel...
There were three things that every citizen of Vesper was likely to know: One: How to get to any of the city's many temples. Two: The name and religious affiliation of the current Priest Lord.

Valerie dashed out of the foyer as soon as the words "hot tub" had passed through Tony's lips. She was out the sliding glass door and onto the rear patio before he'd even realized she was gone.

Chapter THREE: The Only Thing I Want To Finish Read the previous chapters for sense being made. It's been AWHILE since I posted here, hopefully I can be more productive in the future.

She and Sheila carried the groceries up to my apartment where I had slave put on the coffee and while she was doing that I give Jenna a kiss, which of course Sheila felt in detail. Jenna upset saying, "What is she doing here?" "Why don't you ask her?...
I thought this fancy college might have some other hard working souls staying over, but apparently not. It was classic post-apocalypse. The pathways were vacant and the gothic halls echoed. Everyone, at least everyone but me, had left for the holiday. I lived in Maine and my family was scattered to the winds. Also, I was seriously behind on my work, a top-...
Hey, guys. Back with another story. And this will be my last. If not, forever, more or less for a long while. I'm going to shift my focus from this to my life. I'm graduating soon and the past years of depression have kept me from growing myself in terms of my career. Now that I'm out of that depressed mindset, I think it's best I get to it now than lat...
