Cat Call
It was one of those days. It wasn't just that it was a shitty workday-it was-it was one of those days where I couldn't concentrate on anything except the anticipation of that next text message. As the almost unnoticeable damp spot in the front of my...
Foggy in River City
Raindrops pelted the windshield. They were falling a bit slower then they had been for the last fifteen minutes. Caleb had assured himself that he was only still in his car because he was waiting for a break in the downpour. The map light was on, and...
Teaser: River City Nights
When people talk about River City, the famous blue-lit skyline is probably the first thing that comes to their mind. I had to admit, even after seeing it every day, it still looked stunning through my windshield as I idled in line at the airport with...
Homerun
"And the one-two pitch..." I traced the flight of the spinning white baseball as it left the pitcher's paw all the way to where it nearly smacked the dirt in front of the batter. ".. is going to be low for a ball. Catcher barely got a hold of...
Confessions
Confessions Yellow eyes stared out from under a tan hood, watching from their usual spot along the wall to the left of the throne. Slim fingers absentmindedly traced themselves down over the beads of a rosary, and the pads of them across the...
Riding Shotgun
Riding Shotgun The open air. It's why he went Westwards in the first place, and it still hadn't lost its charm. Blue skies dotted by the occasional fluffy white cloud as far as the eye could see. A bump in the 'road', as it was optimistically called,...

Bookstore Stag
You ever have that place that you pass by nearly every single day, think it looks interesting, but never manage to actually go into? Of course you do. You're probably picturing it right now, aren't you? For me it was The Book Nook, an unassuming shop...
Home on the Range
Bump, bump, bump, bump. The consistency of the cracks in the rural road was uncanny. Each one gave my little car a slight jolt, and between that and the thumping sound it was almost hypnotic in a way. Any fear of dozing off though was allayed by...
Butterflies and Bourbon
**"Blue Forest- Butterflies and Bourbon"** This story is part of K.M. Hirosaki's "Blue Forest" series. The setting and the character Cedric are his creations. This chapter takes place in proper chronological order. I want to thank Hirosaki for what...
Gloryhole in One
I looked up at the wobbly ball coming my way through the air and took a few steps to the left to snatch it as it came down. "That's better!" I encouraged as I fired the football back across the yard to the hyena youngster. "Nice catch, too. I put a...
