“I’m sorry, would you like to sleep in here then?” Mapiya asks.
The bed rises out from the floor, fluffing up and pillows fell down from the ceiling. Mapiya motions to the bed. “I’ll come and cuddle you once I’m done here.”
I just give him and look and shake my head. “...
2019-02-12 22:01:00 +0000 UTC View PostI pound my hands down on the desk. “What do you mean again?”
My twin cousins flinch and take a step back away from me. They look at one another, both trying to decide which one should be the sacrificial lamb to the slaughter. 2019-02-12 20:00:02 +0000 UTC View Post
The cave opens up again, leading out into a great big pool. The pool is surrounded by columns. The ceiling is and open mouth where water rushes down from all sides. The bowls sing and chime, clinking to the steps behind the water.

2019-02-11 22:00:01 +0000 UTC View PostReturning home from Grattertock was the most gut-wrenching experience of my life. I was relieved to get home and see my wife and my kids, my family.

I jerk at the thought. “No!” I snap.
Gorlak cuts a dirty look at me. “You want to survive, don...
2019-02-08 22:00:01 +0000 UTC View PostI’ll admit, the prospects of all this were a bit odd. I’ve never been the most masculine guy in the room, but I’ve never been the most feminine either. As I look at myself now, I understand the possibilities that I can take with just my body.

2019-02-06 20:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostCome morning, I wake up hearing someone in my home. I pull away from Allie, making sure not to wake her. I slip out of bed and move silently down the hallway to the kitchen. There, my mother is standing over the stove.
“Mom?” I gasp.
She turns and looks at me. “I let myself in w...

I drag her to a tent that’s not in use and I kiss her, hard. She moans softly and her lashes flutter. It’s been a long time for both of us. “Jacque, stop, we can’t-” I kiss her again and she grabs my face. “Jacqu...
