"Brush him off, I don't have the time. I need to go and talk to Edwards from Bay Three. They were meant to be finished months ago and I'm taking hard questions about where their destroyer is."

I dropped the call and pulled a jacket over my jumpsuit, smoo…

Basil finished the first circle of words.

The chant wasn't fast. It couldn't be rushed or muttered. The pronunciations had to be precise.

When he finished the second circle, the base of his neck seemed to grow hot,

He stood up straighter and began the …

They're getting closer. I hear them in the alleys and in the shadows that are getting longer. They're bolder in the city. Not as scared of the light although it blazes on their sensitive skin. I didn't even have to worry about them back home, there weren…

"It's only a scratch." Mia waved it off although she knew she had gotten hit hard with the metal bars as they had swung into place over the doors. But she had more important matters to deal with at the moment than herself.

She stumbed towards the figure …

"Shh, don't cry Elise!"

Little 6 year old hands reached through the slats of a crib and patted 12 month old Elise who had awakened from her nap.

The door opened, startling the little boy, and he quickly pulled his hands back.

"Byron!" snapped the nurse…

"Sweet girl, you've started your Moon Tides," the kind old woman told me, her dark hand holding too tightly to mine. "I know you're frightened, but it's cause for celebration! I've drawn a bath, dear. Get yourself cleaned up."

Wordlessly, pink with shame…

The church is decorated with flowers;

Purple ones, of course.

Family and friends are seated on both sides of the aisle.

A white dress flows around her as she walks.

She approaches the front of the church and takes his hands in hers.

Then she looks up at h…

There's a darkness in you. It hides in our whole family. It's a sickness that must be fought and accepted in equal parts. I know it. You won't, not until you look inside yourself without flinching and recognize that your darkness shares your face. It's in…

Do we orbit or dance? An orbit

is a dance

of gravity, energy, mass.

Are you afraid of collisions?

honestly, I'm not sure what you could fear.

I'm afraid--afraid of missing.

Afraid that the twisting shadows,

strangely posing are deceptions

wit…

The ceiling of Stormcrow's base shattered. She glared up at her nemesis.

"So-Lar!" she yelled. "What..."

"Where is she?" the hero bellowed. "Where is Jane?"

"You dare..." She stopped, confused. "Jane's missing?"

In a flash, So-Lar was face-to-face wit…

You look awful, I said to myself as I gazed disapprovingly at my appearance in the floor length mirror. I saw an exhausted, overworked woman staring back at me. She was familiar, but only vaguely so.

My hair was frizzy, but there was no time to fix…

The lilacs blow along the banks

Not far from barrels, tubs, and tanks

They wave so gently in the breeze

And thrive beneath the wasted trees

Where honeybees so seldom buzz

And dinosaurs remain, because

In vanished aeons they got stuck

In pools of noxious, …

Osterley cocked her head in an inquisitive manner.

"What have you seen?"

Newkirk closed his eyes, his voice assuming the deep tones of prophecy.

"I see... spinning electric equipment in numbered rows. Spellcasters exchange fire at close range. One is a…

Title: The Spear Not Shaken

.

I know your voice; your words are passing Sweet.

They cloy the throat and summon hordes of Flies

The courtiers consider you a Treat;

They cannot tell veracity from Lies.

Oh, Laura! I'd not interrupt your Cours…

From peak to lodge, too tightly stretched the cable;

It glinted in the dying light of fall-

Fresh sunset. The lone worker doused the light;

As stars appeared, wind moaned in its deep pitch,

With breath of ice. And in that lofty height,

The string of cars …

"Hey, Tinkerbell!" Nudge catcalled.

"Stop calling ME THAT!" Tink's glow turned red and she hovered above her twin Wink.

"It's the only way I can tell you apart! You two look alike."

The truth was, Wink was a cerulean blue and rather stout, not to mention…

“Ghosts are all emotion, all the time. I don't know what keeps their form intact but they might be beings of pure emotion. There isn't a way to really measure them yet. And due to the nature of most deaths, they operate under pain, rage, and sadness. I'm …

In the dark my hands made twisted shapes, more through intuition than direction. They danced like they belonged to a conductor, while my fingers played the air in long strokes like a pianist's. I was aware of their movements but I couldn't see them. They …

Story is marked as mature

My future, furious, lunges

With weapons sharp and bright

To fell me where I stand.

--

A single blow would serve

To make this “now” my last,

But many more will land–

--

For some will smite my heart,

Already weak and weary,

And let its contents spill,

You don't think it's wise to stay in this burning building any longer than you have already. You take a deep breath, trying to judge the distance rightly, and leap as high as you can over that burning hole, all the while training your eyes on the strip o…

You land badly. Good thing the acrobatic judges were only imaginary. You land on your shoulder; thank goodness it wasn't your neck. But you bang up your head and a wave of dizziness descends over you. You can hear that other voice still ringing out as you…

But you have leapt back and landed hard, and this time the floor shakes under your feet! You leap back again and watch in fascinated horror as the center of the hallway where you were just standing falls in onto the stairs leading to the second floor, bot…

You strike the window with your hand, but the only effects are a dull noise and a pain in your hand. You try again with your elbow, but no joy. You'd better go over to the stairwell.
