Ander - Part 5: Subchapter 33

Ander - Part 5: Subchapter 14
14 The clouds were still building, but the wind was starting to die down and the shadowy branches of the oak were slowing to a gentle sway. They had made small talk in that tiny room for a while longer, not really saying anything until it was time to...
Ander - Part 5: Subchapter 11
11 Ander held the knife in his hands and slowly ran the blade across his thumb. It was sharp. Very sharp. The perfect tool for the job. Only... he never thought the job would be so unpleasant. It's never happened to him before. It was supposed to be...
Ander - Part 5: Subchapter 6
6 He wasn't lying on the cold, hard ground anymore. No sharp stones or scratchy twigs digging into his back. This was soft and warm. He knew this feeling. It was the peace of sleep that always lingered for a few minutes just before you woke up...

Ander - Part 3: Subchapter 26

The Gryphon's Goal: Chapter 5, Part 2
After Larry received permission to stay at Plato's house for dinner, he and Plato retreated to the dining room, spending a half hour on Plato's homework. One set of problems gave the minotaur more difficulty than the others. "I just can't figure out...
The Gryphon's Goal: Chapter 5, Part 1
That Friday after school Larry rode with Plato to his home. The minotaur drove a white station wagon which had to be older than both of them combined, but the interior was pristine. It even had a stereo which allowed a connection to an MP3 player, and...
The Gryphon's Goal: Chapter 4, Part 4
Larry willed himself not to be under the questions. She was a doctor, a psychologist, and there had to be a purpose to them, even if he couldn't see it. "Because they treat me like an equal." The doctor nodded. "Well, that's all the time we have." She...
