Clarity - Chapter 8: A Fluffy, Clever Commander
The morning passes by in a blur. Leftover breakfast, some quick cleaning, and then all that's on my mind is my outfit. Something more casual, more approachable than when I was the office lady who wound up on Clover's couch. Work dress, work skirt,...
Clarity - Chapter 7: In Molasses
"I can SEE you, you little shit." Caught 'em. I turn the corner, focus on what's in front of me, and point directly at the offending party. This ONE LAST GODDAMN PATCH of polys in the WRONG GODDAMN SMOOTHING GROUP. I mean, geez, am I...
Clarity - Chapter 5: Breadcrumbs
I'm honestly surprised. I thought things would be way more awkward around Clover after last night, but... it's all more than I could have ever hoped for. I haven't felt that good about my cooking in ages. Like new life was breathed into me. Still, it...
Clarity - Chapter 4: Bittersweet Days
The first thing that I notice after waking up on Clover's couch is the dull pain throughout my body. The second is the sudden feeling that I'd really like to slap myself for keeping my phone's morning alarm on after a night like that. Still, I'm up,...
Clarity - Chapter 3: Remember Me
Okay. Got on the bus. And no problems. Just me and Clover, heading to her place. Kinda still need to lean on her, though. Still can't get ahold of my- of- legs, they're jelly. Hmph. Lookin' out the window instead. Not as fun, s'too fast. Think...
Clarity - Chapter 2: New Pastures
About half an hour later, we've arrived at our stop, after I made sure to leave Penn a message regarding my change of plans. I'm not surprised I've never seen this pub. It's pretty deep into the city, though it stands out a lot once you're here, and...
Clarity - Chapter 16: Frayed
Scorched plants. Crackling air. Singed fur along the fringes of my scuffed dress. It's almost impressive, churning up the acrid smells of a battlefield with only a single, stubborn kitty left for opposition. A hotheaded rookie, at that. It speaks to...
Clarity - Chapter 17: Woven Together
Sunlight filtering in through the living room windows manages to wake me up shortly before my phone alarm would have. I have to say, even though Clover and I were definitely right that the couch isn't big enough for two people to sleep on, its soft...
Clarity - Chapter 23: The Matchmaker's Respite
Another work week, long since put behind me. The city streets at sunset, a perfect view from the buses. It's Friday night, and there's only one thing that means to me: Ladies' Night, of course~ Really, how can any of us be expected to work at the...
Clarity - Chapter 1: Bones Long Buried
The chilly breeze outside meets my face suddenly, refreshing yet a bit bothersome. The neighborhood scenery passes by without a thought paid to it. Nothing really happens here, save for the occasional shouts of children at play in a yard or two. That...
Clarity - Prologue: Everyday Reality
Eggs, duly whisked. Careful with the milk and sour cream; whisk it together smoothly, add slowly until it's just enough. Add cheese, mix again. Does it look right...? ...yes, but check again before the final step. Gloves need to stay secure. No fur can...
