“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

We have explored a variety of writing styles with food as the central theme throughout.

None of the ‘noteworthy’ races were set to start for another two hours but most of these people didn’t care; they

Kara lets go of Lena and flashes her a grand smile. The real reason she’d never slept at anyone’s house being she was a werewolf‚ was a little hard to explain to anyone outside her family. She was glad Lena didn’t ask why. Eliza had been reluctant to allow Kara over at first‚ but after Kara’s Awakening she was sure she could control her transformations. "So! What’s the rundown?" Lena tapped her chin for a moment. "Well‚ I’m guessing you’re hungry. How about we order a pizza?" "Ooh! Yes please

Chapter One We played in the woods until dark. The moon cast an eerie glow on the trees as we ran around. A bat flew overhead and I ducked. It was my turn to count for hide -n- seek. “One‚ two‚ three four‚ fi- Aaaaahhhhh. What was that?” I asked myself outloud. I began in the direction of the screams when I came upon a house. The front door was wide open. I saw someone dash across the opening. Then the screaming began again. “Aaaaahhhh! Help us Alex! We’re in here!” The sound was clearly coming
