Seven Days Chapter 1
I knew what I agreed to. It was a bargain... of sorts. Not to a friend, or a banker. Not even to a loan-shark. I bargained with a dragon... or, rather, a dragon bargained with me. Now, you may be thinking that it's impossible. I've heard them...
The Lion and the Gazelle: Caged
He walked into the club at the apex of the night's festivities. His cool head and meticulously coiffed hair swimming in the smell of sweat and arousal. The fop on stage noticed, but paid him no mind. Daniel the gazelle was too preoccupied with...
