Winston's Weight Gain
"Order up on table twelve!" "On it!" Winston hurried to the serving window where three servings of dessert were waiting to be delivered. Balancing two of the dishes on a small tray with the third sitting snugly on his other palm-up hand, he wended...
A Grand Day Out

Homecoming (Chapter 1)

Cassandra (Chapter 2)
More than eight years had passed since that tearful farewell, during which time a great deal had changed in Shaun's life. While still living in the same town as ever, he'd found himself a place of his own within walking distance of the office job he'd...
A Rabbit's Recovery
