Jameswell

Howling In Public
# Chapter 12: Howling In Public The three of us had to get buzzed into the jeweller's store. The only way in was through a double set of doors that looked like they just as well could have been airlocks. The reason for their security was...
Father's Blessing

Modern Love Walks Beside Me
# Chapter 7: Modern Love Walks Beside Me I'd dozed off for a few moments when I heard the door to the apartment click open. The sound of feet on the floor told me that those coming were friends. Wait... those? Forcing the last of the wool...
A Cross, A Circle, and An Arrow
# Chapter 6: A Cross, A Circle, and An Arrow No one bothered to wake us the next morning. For that I was grateful. Waking up on the hard floor wasn't the greatest for my back, but I'd been through worse. What made this home was Rebecca in my...
Civilization Isn't Always Civilized
# Chapter 5: Civilization Isn't Always Civilized The next morning came, for once, right on schedule. Gods, I've got to get me one of these beds. I don't care how much it costs, I've never gotten such a good sleep. Man, I'm in a good mood. Why...

Why I Stopped Being Mayor
# Chapter 3: Why I Stopped Being Mayor Waking the next morning, the sun was shining down through the clouds, illuminating us with patches of light and shadow that shifted endlessly. Reaching out with my tongue, I licked the inside of Rebecca's...

# Chapter 12: Smooth As Butter Cold. Cold and dark. Far more ran through Will's mind as the blackness engulfed him, but those were the few coherent thoughts that fought their way to the surface. His one arm was wrapped around the two...
Cold Trailing: A Man Not to Annoy
# Chapter 6: A Man Not to Annoy The next morning came cold and dark, or at least that was how it felt to Will. He'd spent the night curled up in bed, twisting and turning, unable to find rest without her reassuring strength beside him. The...
Cold Trailing: Longhorn
# Chapter 5: Longhorn At long last Will made it once again back onto the street. Rebecca was nowhere in sight. He had to hand it to the woman, she could move when she wanted to, even weighed down as she'd been with enough papers to choke a horse....
Cold Trailing: Meet the New Boss, Same as the Old Boss
# Chapter 4: Meet The New Boss, Same As The Old Boss The next morning came early. Will had long ago become accustomed to waking up before the sun, even in the warm summer months. The walk in to V-town was long, and he made a point of always being...
