Clarity - Chapter 13: Alone Together
Great. Just great. It's the end of the work week, my team's already wrapped their side of the clients' projects up, and we've got nothing else coming in. And by that logic, all that's left is for us to get treated like gofers the rest of the day. Can't...
Blooming Tides - Chapter 2: Humble Beginnings
_-1stMoon: Waning Gibbous-_ As the mouse padded along the beaten path, the glow of the ocean in the morning sun shone against him. This halfway point between the shore and the treeline, leading to who-knows-where, was where he'dchosen to take his...
Blooming Tides - Prologue: A Fragile Dream
Rain so thick it became a wall of white. Winds that kicked up a flurry of torn vines and snapped the smaller trees throughout the jungle. A trembling sky, alive with the wailing howls of the storm and the echoing thunder that accompanied them. All for...
Clarity - Chapter 8: A Fluffy, Clever Commander
The morning passes by in a blur. Leftover breakfast, some quick cleaning, and then all that's on my mind is my outfit. Something more casual, more approachable than when I was the office lady who wound up on Clover's couch. Work dress, work skirt,...
Clarity - Chapter 7: In Molasses
"I can SEE you, you little shit." Caught 'em. I turn the corner, focus on what's in front of me, and point directly at the offending party. This ONE LAST GODDAMN PATCH of polys in the WRONG GODDAMN SMOOTHING GROUP. I mean, geez, am I...
Clarity - Chapter 6: Starry Sky
Mmkay. So. This whole morning was spent on just finding' a proper outfit for tonight. And getting my braid right. And picking between my bracelets. Can't believe I'm gettin' this worked up over a date. Heck, Jill's the one who called ME this mornin',...
Clarity - Chapter 5: Breadcrumbs
I'm honestly surprised. I thought things would be way more awkward around Clover after last night, but... it's all more than I could have ever hoped for. I haven't felt that good about my cooking in ages. Like new life was breathed into me. Still, it...
Clarity - Chapter 4: Bittersweet Days
The first thing that I notice after waking up on Clover's couch is the dull pain throughout my body. The second is the sudden feeling that I'd really like to slap myself for keeping my phone's morning alarm on after a night like that. Still, I'm up,...
Clarity - Chapter 3: Remember Me
Okay. Got on the bus. And no problems. Just me and Clover, heading to her place. Kinda still need to lean on her, though. Still can't get ahold of my- of- legs, they're jelly. Hmph. Lookin' out the window instead. Not as fun, s'too fast. Think...
Clarity - Chapter 2: New Pastures
About half an hour later, we've arrived at our stop, after I made sure to leave Penn a message regarding my change of plans. I'm not surprised I've never seen this pub. It's pretty deep into the city, though it stands out a lot once you're here, and...
Clarity - Chapter 16: Frayed
Scorched plants. Crackling air. Singed fur along the fringes of my scuffed dress. It's almost impressive, churning up the acrid smells of a battlefield with only a single, stubborn kitty left for opposition. A hotheaded rookie, at that. It speaks to...
Clarity - Chapter 17: Woven Together
Sunlight filtering in through the living room windows manages to wake me up shortly before my phone alarm would have. I have to say, even though Clover and I were definitely right that the couch isn't big enough for two people to sleep on, its soft...
