Everything was silent at first‚ as are most moment’s right before a major storm. People were roaming around‚ minding their own business and going about their days like nothing was wrong. It was quite clear most were trying to rush to get everything accomplished before the downpour‚ but no one knew how soon it would happen. Suddenly‚ as young eyes searched around the area for a treat for being a good boy during the trip‚ the wind suddenly picked up. Papers and leaves blew about‚ some flying in front
Premium Ear Friendship The Devil Went Down to Georgia
After what seemed like an eternity‚ the ground flattened when he reached the top. A dozen more steps gave the thief a view of the fence. He silently cursed since all he saw was corn. Turning to his right‚ the criminal eased his way down the fence line. The dark blob ahead solidified into the barn when it was closer. At last he had eyes on the house‚ which was completely dark. A small sigh left his lips when he sat on a log and began to wait. Trey’s head nodded from dozing off. From long

Jonathan knows what worries him. “Has it occurred to you‚ my friend‚ we may be hunted down for a crime we didn’t commit?” On hearing the word crime‚ Cleopas’ forehead creases. “What crime‚ brother?

“Okay‚ everything looks good‚” they nod and hand me a small plastic receipt‚ “Go ‘round the corner and one of our technicians will be with you shortly.” I’d been donating blood to ZLB plasma for the past few months‚ ever since I’d left Lana and the luxury of Kenwood for this small one bedroom apartment in Stadium Village. Twice a week I would come here‚ less than a block from the apartment that Chris had let me use while he was deployed in Iraq. He was just a young boot-ass then‚ always getting

"Qui-Gon wait for me!" Your little feet desperate to catch up the the Jedi master. He stoped and waited for you in the hallway. He softly smiled at you as you took hold of his hand and tugged at his robe sleeve. "Did you forget about me?" You looked up sadly to him. He chuckled softly‚ "No (Y/N)‚ I knew you would be along shortly. I know we always eat the first meal together." You instantly relaxed and looked up to a stranger next to Qui-Gon curiously. A boy several years older than you stood

We were all strangers before this was ever planned. No one really thought it was possible to start with. I stepped into the portal of time that illuminated my bedroom wall. Like an endless spiral of darkness is what it looked like. I struggled to place my portal-acquiring-device—also known as PAD‚ in my pocket due to the overwhelming pressure‚ however I managed to just before I reached the other end. Lost in utter confusion‚ I wasn’t entirely sure what or where I am. I sighed in disappointment

Homer Homer is a fourteen-year-old mutt that we got at the Animal Rescue League twelve years ago. He is not the brightest bulb on the tree‚ but he is personality plus and part of the family. He’s also a pain in the butt‚ especially over the last couple of years. . . . He has a geriatric tendency to empty his bowels in the living room. He likes to wander off whenever he can—well‚ this is not a new habit‚ actually. He likes to lunch from our neighbour’s garbage—also nothing new. And lately he’s forgetful

The drive from Tuscon was a long and miserable drive. It had just rained the night prior so the air was hot and muggy. The sweat clung on to you like glue‚ and was impossable to peal off. The only thing holding my sanity together is the book I brought with me‚ Weathering Heights. Otheirwise I would have jumped out of the car an hour ago. Right now I can imagine my two friends Stefanie and Alex sitting in their bedrooms under the artic blast of their aircondetioner. Oh how I wish I was within the
