Nate (AiT extra #1)
I was a little worried with my mom's tone when she started "the talk" with me that night before dinner. As if 'sex ed.' in school hadn't been awkward enough. I'm not sure if it was made more or less awkward by the fact that, at the time, I wasn't...

What's me necklace?
In my most recent pieces of art, I'm sure you've seen that cryptic little necklace I'm wearing. My mom got it for me way back when I was in early high school (or maybe even middle school, I can't quite remember) on a business trip she had in Scotland....
Ember Tails, ch1 epilogue
The rest of the weekend went as might to be expected; a trip to the movies, homework, time at the park, some sparring matches between Zane and Keith, video games, homework - and both a secret and not-so-secret tryst between Zane and Kira. Saturday...
Ember Tails, ch3 (pt.1)
Zane and Kira sat quietly in the back of Mr. Sune's car, the Espeon talking calmly with Zane's mother in the front seat as they drove down Kendall Boulevard to the local town center. There were several strip malls at the Kendall - Terrehaute...
Ember Tails, ch3 (pt.4)
Mr. Sune and Kira pulled up in front of the correct address. They were in a quiet neighborhood, suburban but small, with a nice gridded network of streets broken up only by a community park. It was the kind of place you could see kids biking or playing...
