Track and Field: Part 23 - I Will Wait
Sasha This chick... "Kelly? How do you know us again?" I asked, trying to keep pace with the ermine. "Lee," she simply said. "How do you know Lee?" "Ren-Fair." "Ren-what?" I heard Red panting. I kept forgetting he couldn't keep up with us. I'd...
Strangers After All: Part VII
Benji told us we were free to spend the night, but both Deacon and I knew we'd been in his hair for too long. We were on a break from school, but we were pretty sure that he had to go to work the next day. The goodbye wasn't as sorrowful as I would...

Track & Field: Part 26 - Live Forever
Lee It's odd to know you'll never see someone again, especially someone who'd had enough life and vigor for a handful of people, who you never thought would go out in such a gruesome way. I'd known Devrol Hull since I was eight. Uncle Arthur had...
