Winter's Worth II
Yawning, Johann scratched his head and stretched his shoulders. '_It's the 18th right?_' he thought trying to roll over, before remembering he couldn't. But it was the 18th, third day of Silvia's heat, and it was already feeling like...
Love Caught
A simple dark green car being driven by a tired feline pulled off the main road to the parking lot, headlights brightening the dark night. Aaron slowly pulled into his parking spot outside his apartment complex, chalky white lines guiding...
Mom Starts Summer Break
The school bus started to accelerate again down Tallinn street to its last stop of the day, and year. Nate looked out the window, 'Only about another minute or so.' he thought excitedly. Many others were already outside enjoying the first of many...

Escape and Survival
Chapter V Green eyes blinked open as Topaz awoke from a good night of sleep. The soft sounds of birds chirping outside were faint on her ears, but peaceful. The shutters to the bedroom were open, and morning rays warmed her uncovered front. Modest,...
