The Four Letter Word Chapter Thirty-Four Part One of Two Green Eyes “Hey sexy,” was how I was greeted when Dana’s front door opened the night of the semiformal dance. She whisked me through the front door of her house and into a tight hug.I was surprised I’d even come. The Squad had been talking about the dance nonstop at lunch for days. Everyone was getting dropped off at Labyina’s ten minutes before the dance because she said we had to arrive together and had an additional surprise for us. Dana was the only one who seemed disappointed not to have some type of pre-plan, and I’d been avoiding the house as much as possible since the night ...

(Part 41 of Twilight’s Edge) (Book 4 of the Fantasian Series)To say Tyus awoke was somewhat misleading. The elf had spent hours motionless, drained both mentally and physically; yet, despite his sleepless night, he never truly managed to leave the waking world.Yet as the bright morning sky gradually shifted towards the  glare of the afternoon, the drow stirred.

The morning was cool and clear and bright, one of the last pleasant days expected as autumn shook off the remnants of summer and marched towards the cold desolation of winter.  Some of the old timers were predicting snow by the end of the week.  Hiccup hoped they were wrong as he casually rubbed the upper calf of his left leg; the dull ache that frequently interrupted his sleep these past few nights was likely to only get worse in the frigid temperatures and he was dreading experiencing his first winter with the injury.An inquisitive black nose poked at his hand and he smiled in response.  Affectionately he scratched the flat scaly head an...
