Ket slammed his fist against the bathtub knob to shut the water off. He stood on his tip-toes to place the shower-head back in its holster. He reached down to the drain, pulling up the knot of hair, and the water appeared to...
Lonely Oak Chapter 2
Miss Rachaun sighed as she drummed on the kitchen table. Make that the _clean_ kitchen table. She smiled. Cleaning was more liberating than she could have ever imagined. Or perhaps it was that she knew, in a couple of weeks, she...
Lonely Oak Chapter 74
Lyza stirred. For a second, she was on a squeaky cot nudged against the side of a Baker tent surrounded by mosquito netting. Then she was teleported back to the present, where she sat up and rested her palm on the soft mattress of her gigantic bed. ...
Lonely Oak Chapter 75 - Understand The Concept Of Love (Part 1)
Emeral started to stir as the clusters of buildings became more apparent. She had not been sleeping, not this time at least. She heard the page of Ket's book flip, one of the many hundreds in the novel that he had his eyes buried in. She glanced at him...
Raspberry Line Chapter 24
Perceptions were all but lost. Time. Space. Gravity. Corporeality. Everything was relatively irrelevant. All that mattered was not even matter itself. Though it was nice that they could see each others eyes, that they...

Lonely Oak Chapter 71
Lyza recognized the lady sitting at their camp tables. It took her a moment, but she remembered the woman from when they first arrived at Camp Connalake. She helped them pick out their campsite. Beside the mother koala was a boy about the girl...
Lonely Oak Chapter 70
In the farthest distance, there was a highway. Little lights the size of ants moved across at a hasty speed, some red and some white--some _extremely_ white. They all began to gather as a light floating in the darkness turned red. Another up the road...
Lonely Oak Chapter 33 - Meet Eeyore Shower
Lyza stared out into the darkness. The last orange lights of the city had disappeared some time ago and now the darkness was big and all over. It was everywhere, like she was in a submarine beneath the ocean. The thrum of the engine beneath her had...
