Midnight's tollChapter 1:The thunderous sound of something large and expensive hitting an unforgiving surface and shattering irreparably was very loud to my ears.“Damn!” A womans' vexed voice cried out in anger, “The ghost struck again!” She stated, “They better not take this out of my pay” the voice sounded very young as it whined.“Are you hurt?” an older voice asked quickly, sounding very annoyed.“I'm fine.” The younger voice replied in her whine.“Then don't talk like that in the halls Edith.” The older voice scolded, “Or you'll have more to worry about than a docked pay. You should know better than that.” I could alm...

Of Men and Beasts: Part 1
It was long after dark when the widowed farmer Gustav Muller found himself roused from his sleep by the barking of his dogs outside. As he forced his weary bones from his bed, he hurriedly lit a candle and listened intently. He quickly recognized the distress in the dogs’ howls and snarls and knew that this meant there was some kind of trouble; either a prowler or predator intruding on his property. Without a second thought, he quickly pulled on his clothes and retrieved his musket, which was never far from his side. After loading the weapon and lighting a lantern, he began to make his way towards the door of his small home, only to be...

It Was Like a Pie in the Face, a BSV Story
My troubles began the moment I agreed to let my daughter, Carmilla, help me decide on an outfit for my outing this afternoon with a certain gentleman suitor. I should have known she would choose something tight, ill-fitting, and decidedly not of the sort associated with a woman of my tastes. I, Monica Rappaccini, dress like the most charming woman in the world, not like I'm responding to a hypothetical "dick appointment." Yet I found myself dolled up as the latter. Carmilla was… persuasive enough that once I had initially caved to her pressuring, I could not back out, lest I wished to spend the entire evening with my undergarments in ...

Panthra Rising, Discovery
Panthra made her way across the roof, away from Dick’s apartment. Instead of going straight home, she went to a cache she’d hidden in an adjacent building. She had another suit there and some other things she might need. Panthra stayed out of sight, stripping off her clothes and putting on the skin tight ‘hero’ garb. She grabbed a zip-top bag with extra clothes for Dick, knowing he wouldn’t think to bring them, a spare first aid kit, and a ‘distraction device’ she had made. It was basically a few fire crackers in a soft casing. It made a loud noise with a small flash and was great to make people look where you wanted instead of at you...

A serving of all things any ogre could find within the swamps, not just the giant slugs or a wee drink with an eyeball in place of an olive, even a pumpkin sat on his tray. For a moment, he peered over to the window where he left the Alpha team and Donkey outside. With a sigh, Shrek, sat himself down, back toward his feast, and lit a candle made out of earwax.As Shrek was enjoying his meal, Donkey and the team also peered from outside the house just watching as Shrek got to enjoy a nice meal (Regardles...

If you ever find yourself
stuck in the middle of the sea/
I’ll sail the world/
To find you/ You reached your trembling hands to your purse and searched for your phone. Sun was shining low, straight to your eyes, and made it impossible to see anything but shadows and figures. Everything seemed to be the same. You had just walked down the Spanish stairs with your boyfriend, but you managed to lose him in the minute you reached the huge sea of people under them. You continued to feeling around in a soft pit where you kept your belongings, but your fingers didn’t get a hold of your small mobile. You began to hyperventilate. There was simply to...
The entire world had turned pink.It was perfect, absolutely perfect, and she said as much aloud."Miss Relena, I do believe you're exaggerating just a bit."A chuckle from the front seat drew her attention to the beloved, stooped figure of her childhood retainer. Relena cupped her cheek with her elbow braced against the widow of the car and turned to grin at her elderly retainer, her eyebrows raised in question."Surely I'm entitled to exaggerate occasionally. You disagree though?""Miss Relena does not have to do the raking," Pagan intoned with a mournful shake of his head. "However pretty they may be, they are equally messy."How good it felt...
It had started with a simple Facebook conversation.Matthew shivered as the cool spring air blew in from the windows. God, his nipples were so fucking hard. He shuddered, biting the corner of his lip as the seatbelt rubbed against his tit. He tried, and subsequently failed, to keep from moaning."You better appreciate this, Alfred," He muttered, peeking shyly at the blinking red light to his right, the camcorder gleefully fixed onto him. The multiple bottles of tequila, along with all the right ingredients for tacos, sat in the empty passenger seat. Dammit. He wasn't even drunk yet, and he was already acting like this?

Valentine's Day (China's Ending)
"…China!”China looked at you with a happy and cute smile on his face. His cheeks were tainted with a soft pink but it was probably from the freezing cold wind that graced his features. He was wearing his usual red Chinese-styled top with oversized sleeves and black puffy trousers with red shoes to match his outfit. He had some chocolates in his hand and a Hello Kitty-styled teddy bear in the other. “ Ní h ǎ o (Your Name)! Sorry to come so suddenly but may I come in, aru ?” China asked, smiling at you with his chocolate brown eyes that seemed to shine with happiness compared to your confused (eye colour) hues. “Of course.

My traveling companions were actually two brothers, Kaapo the tall one and Juho the shorter one, both reminded me uncannily of Sasha in looks and attitude. It turns out they were born and raised in Finland but their parents moved them to Warsaw when they were younger because their father got a job at the embassy. They wanted to protect their motherland but like me couldn’t due to the German-Soviet alliance so, like me they had to fi...

You lay snug underneath the warm covers of your bed. You had woken up to a chilly winter morning, the sky was dark and gray, and small flakes of snow fell from the sky. Sebastian entered your room, pushing a cart of morning tea and sweets. He greeted you a good morning before pulling open the curtains. "My, it really is snowing out there isn't it milady? You've been out all night." You nodded sleepily before sitting up in bed.
"Ciel used to love snow. " You told him in a quiet solemn voice as Sebastian poured the piping hot tea into a porcelain teacup. "Yes, you have told me that quite a few times before. Today's morning tea is Ear...

Ashes to ashes…
Dust to dust... Blake’s funeral was that Saturday, and the sky was cloudy and chilly. His family stood by the casket with sad, teary eyes. His parents felt it the strongest, because they had seen their son hanging there...and they had been unable to help him. Even Baile was dabbing her eyes with a tissue.
“I knew we should’ve called those people to help him,” Blaze wept, hugging herself.“It isn’t your fault, Blaze,” Sonic told her softly.
Everybody Blake knew was there. His family, the Prowers, Knuckles’ family, Shadow and Amy, even Cody. Andrew insisted that Blake just did it because they lost the basketball because of him...

Royal Guests - Ch 143 - Arrival
A long black limousine pulled into the driveway and stopped parallel to the Inn's front door. The driver, a middle-aged human man, hurried around to the side of the car. He placed a large rolled-up object on the snowy gravel and started to unfurl a plush red carpet. It had gold tassels on the edges and the surface was covered with intricately embroidered swirls and geometric patterns. Only once the carpet was fully unrolled, reaching the first step to the porch, he returned to the limousine and opened the side door. He stepped back and bowed deeply. "We have arrived at your destination, and the time is eleven AM," he said, keeping his head...

Favorite Gray Moments
"Morpher!" a voice cried out at me. Suddenly the ring of attackers around me split, and a noble-looking paladin, horse's coat white as snow, entered. "Face me in single combat, if you have the will!" There was a moment of silence, and I dropped to the ground as he continued. "My god gives me the strength and speed of many men, our powers are equal!" I smiled, sharpening one of my bony blades on the other.
"Let's dance."A dragon stood before a giant, both creatures titanic and radiant with power. Irritated and provoked, the two-story winged reptile released a tremendous, heart-stopping, confidence-shattering roar, having the instant effect ...

Each pulled their hand back and looked at the other. Waiting. After five minutes nothing continued to happen so they thought that perhaps they had to sleep to activate it, but, they didn't want to waste, what.... maybe nine days? Touching these objects and falling asleep to trigger them into working each time? For one thing, they don't require much sleep, so trying to force it on either of them wont work.
They decided to move on rather then ...
The first night her flatmate had off in so very long they went out. Both wore their most decadent of clothing; she wore her flirty skirt, her flatmate wore her favourite shirt and hat. It was a night of special significance; they were free to clean all night.
And it was their first night since the shooter had been shot.
She was excited; who to blame this all on now? What would the papers, the people, the world say?
“Copy-cat murders,” her flatmate waved, smiling, and then, adding more mischievously, “then, the inkling that maybe it wasn’t all him.”
“That he wasn’t the one committing all the murders. Terrorizing the streets.”

Chapter 7Trevor became more frequent in Natalie's life than she imagined he would be. Their relationship that had once been purely business and the occasional flirting had advanced into one that involved late nights together in her trailer. He would usually leave right after sex, always having something to do, but occasionally when he was too inebriated to make it out the front door he would sleep in bed with her until the early hours of afternoon.Trevor probably didn't know it or he most likely wouldn't stick around, but he was a cuddler in his sleep. Nat didn't particularly mind when she felt his muscled arm wrapped around her waist in t...
Autumn had always been Ren’s favourite time of the year. The trees would change from vibrant green to crisp yellows, oranges and browns that made everything look warm and welcoming. The increase in humidity was bearable because of the earlier nights and later mornings, which also allowed for an hour or so of extra kip before the youth had to rise.Of course being seventeen Ren would much rather have no set time to be awake than an extra hour.A loud crash bought the youth out of his half-wakened state, causing him to sit up and blearily stare at the cream coloured wall a meter from the foot of his futon. As he tried to decipher where exactl...
