Lonely Oak Chapter 53

Lonely Oak Chapter 122 - Round Two
In each classroom, the kids spent the rest of the remaining nearly-two-hours of the school-day cleaning up the classrooms, packing their things away, and returning the desks to their groups or rows. Ket was relegated to a back-corner of the room,...
Lonely Oak Chapter 44
At almost ten o'clock, one would think it would be night time. But at the beach, there was no such thing as night; there was only partying, and even though there was a lights-out at the campsites, the beach was afire with, well, fire. Tiki-style...
Lonely Oak Chapter 86

Lonely Oak Chapter 94 - Bubble'n'Squeak
The day was humid. Since P.E., clouds had shrouded the skies and now the sun was hidden behind a gray, cumulonimbus monolith. Thankfully, now and again, a gentle breeze stirred the air. But that was a luxury, up in the Slide Tower. Emeral looked out...
Lonely Oak Chapter 78 - Flight Of The Spelling Bee (Part 2)

Lonely Oak Chapter 48
"Pull!" Lyza's fists clenched tighter. She waited, waited, waited. When the force of the sound hit her, she felt it stop her heart and shove the breath from her lungs, like someone had jabbed her in the gut. Kval pumped the shotgun and readied it...
Lonely Oak Chapter 89
Monday I hate Mondays. This was going to be the worst Monday, ever-ever; I could just tell. He and I didn't see each other all weekend. We could have. But, we both decided that we didn't want to have another episode like before, when Panda came by. I...
