8 Sensations...there were none. No hot, no cold; no sound or light or sight. Feeling? He'd forgotten what that was, forgotten how to do it. He didn't know where he was. He didn't know _what_ he was, not anymore. Who? He could recall. He had a name; he...

Track and Field: The Haunt - Part 3
Conall _What the hell?_ I thought as in awe I watched Lee traipse quickly off stage. That song - good God - I wish he would've told me about it sooner. I'd never seen that side of Lee: bare, open, passionate...in turmoil. He'd left the audience...
Track and Field: Part 7
"Sasha, please stop crying," my sister whined. Her eyes were beginning to tear up, too. "You know what'll happen, and I'd rather cut the sobbing out altogether than start myself." My reply was a wet sniff and a whimper. I couldn't help it; honestly I...
Track and Field: Part 4

Track and Field: Part 11 - Lee
Lee "One, two, three, one, two, three..." _Clang, clang-clang, Clang, clang-clang..._ Left, right-left, right, left-right... "Good," my uncle barked, his sword still humming through the air and striking with mine on precise rhythm. The blows...
Track and Field: Part 8 - Red

New Generation of Heroes: Chapter 4 - "Manifest Destiny"

New Generation of Heroes: Chapter 1 - "It Comes Soon"
1 Rhykard Dean, sitting Indian-style on his well-made dorm room bed, cleared his throat out of awkwardness as his shirtless roommate dropped his cargo shorts and snapped the elastic band of his new, Atlas the Superdog underwear with glee. The toned,...
Track and Field: Part 24 - Fix You
Arthur _"Papa?"_ _"........."_ _"Papaaaaaa?"_ _"................."_ _I feel his little paws atop my chest, the warmth of his tiny fingers blooming on the spot right over my heart as he shakes me; his sharp claws yank on my fur and pinch the...
