LOS: "Turning Into You."
Rain cascaded cold and biting down before Axis as he tried to push himself as far beneath the skyscraper's overhang as he could. It was just one of many jutting portions that adorned the building he'd been scaling just an hour earlier, but - when the...
Track and Field: The Haunt - Part 4
Sasha _Oh, God, where did they go!? What the hell have I done!? What's going to happen!?_ "RED!? LEE!?" I bellowed, their names seeming to scrape my throat as I yelled with such force. "WHERE ARE YOU!?" This wasn't good. My worst nightmare had...
Track and Field: The Haunt - Part 3
Conall _What the hell?_ I thought as in awe I watched Lee traipse quickly off stage. That song - good God - I wish he would've told me about it sooner. I'd never seen that side of Lee: bare, open, passionate...in turmoil. He'd left the audience...
Track and Field: The Haunt - Part 1
13 "Ouch, Claire!" "Will you quit whining, you undead baby!" my sister said snarkily while dabbing around my bruised eye with powder makeup. "You're only making it worse." I grunted as each pat of that infernal powder-puff sent pain coursing into my...
Track and Field: Part 12 - Conall
Conall "Mindy!" I bellowed, doing my best to keep from yanking down the orange, party lights I'd just strung. They'd gotten wrapped around my antlers somehow, and now, if I moved in the slightest, a good four yards of the bastards were going to be on...
Track and Field: Part 7
"Sasha, please stop crying," my sister whined. Her eyes were beginning to tear up, too. "You know what'll happen, and I'd rather cut the sobbing out altogether than start myself." My reply was a wet sniff and a whimper. I couldn't help it; honestly I...
Track and Field: Part 4
I hate to say it, but I was about as equally captivated by the interior of that car as I was by the driver. My brain was going haywire over deciding where my attentions should lie: the pretty flashing lights, high-tech gadgets, and rumbling engine that...
Track and Field: Part 3
After hanging up the phone I hopped off of my bed and padded softy across the carpet to my bathroom. Excitement had banished any thoughts of sleep from my mind, but I was starting to feel that thick, hazy state of weariness creep in behind my eyes. I...
Track and Field: Part 2
After practice Trevor and I walked home together as usual, and although I wanted to babble on like an excitable school-girl about what had happened with Red, I didn't bother my macho friend with an obvious overdose of gayness. Trevor was a great buddy,...
Track and Field: Part 11 - Lee
Lee "One, two, three, one, two, three..." _Clang, clang-clang, Clang, clang-clang..._ Left, right-left, right, left-right... "Good," my uncle barked, his sword still humming through the air and striking with mine on precise rhythm. The blows...
Track and Field: Part 10 - Red
Red I rapped my knuckles against the glass screen door to Lee's parent's house. I tried to make it as rhythmic as I could; it turned into a long, bony trundle that vibrated the glass. It was how Mrs. Hawthorne knew that it was me. For the first month...
Track and Field: Part 9
I woke up and Lee was gone. I also couldn't move. My body was so stiff that to wiggle a toe seemed impossible. Were my toes even still attached? Since I couldn't crane my neck to look around it was as though I was nothing but a dismembered head...
