A Taste of Something Else ~ Chapter 17
_Funny how things work out, isnt it? Most of the time when something like this happens, its the cheater whos trying to contact the ex and apologize, not the other way around._ That would be William's way of subtly guilting me and reminding me of...
A Taste of Something Else ~ Chapter 13
I managed to get Mom to bring us by the store on the way home. She seemed a little confused at first as to why, but didn't question it. Until, of course, she let me run off with the cart to pick up whatever it was I needed... and came back with a...
A Taste of Something Else ~ Chapter 11
Five years. William and I had been together for five years. That's all I could think about on my way down the hall, all I could think about as I lay down in my bed with the covers pulled up to my neck, regardless of how I still remained fully dressed....
wander ~ Chapter 7
I hate to just lazily skip over things, but nothing really interesting happened for most of the rest of the week. Tony started coming by and sitting with us each morning, hanging out nearer to me than Tyler - who seemed to treat him with similar......
wander ~ Chapter 6
For a while, we did just what we said we would: homework, of course taking some time every now and then to check each other's work or figure something out. The twelfth problem on the assignment stumped us for a while, and it took both of us taking our...
wander ~ Chapter 16
That night I slept better than I had in a while, and got there faster too. There was no worrying about sweet Jesus how long is it gonna take me to fall asleep, none of that goddamn I'm only gonna get five hours tonight I guess, no rolling around back...
wander ~ Chapter 12
I'm sure you couldn't really care less about how my first few classes today went, so... I guess I just won't bother with going too deep into detail on those. First period Mondays was my teacher's aid thing, and for some reason today my brain had...
Right of Passage
Elliot tried to finish his soda slowly, but it was difficult with all the sounds of pounding bass rhythms next door almost strong enough to feel through the floor. The diner was reasonably well soundproofed; if it weren't, chances were good that they'd...
wander ~ Chapter 10
Swss, swss, swss of the ceiling fan up above, idly spinning in the dark of my room just as it had been since I first lay down in bed some fifty minutes ago. Usually it took me about that long to fall asleep, quite a bit less if I could already feel the...
The New Goliath - Chapter Two
Chapter Two Union's small house stood at the foot of a dead end like a dark stranger: only the foolish would approach. An open garage harbored no vehicles (the only vehicle always sat curbside), but years of junk no one cared to toss. The front yard...
Ocean depths part 1
Ocean Depths. By Roofles Lucas fiddled with the lock several times, trying one key after another, mumbling under his breath the whole time. Again he rotated through the mix of keys trying to find the right one. "Car key. Bike lock. Work key....
Grad-Bash Part 8
**Part 8** I stopped my depressing walk in front of a small, red bricked store with several mannequins donned in flannel staring out at the empty street. That felt like a job I could get into. Not doing anything but wearing clothes and looking...
