I stared at Mister Menu for so long that I was worried that I might actually be annoying the poor thing.
Desiree and I were probably overdue to return to the Beaver but I really wanted to push some of my skills forw...

I stared blankly at the third first to start. It wasn’t even eleven yet. The people here were the early ones. And yet, despite that, this was the third group to start shit.

“Oh, thank fuck, you’re here,” Lucy said. She turned to me, shifted some hair back out of her face, then smiled.
She looked good, because it was Lucy and it was impossible for her not to, but she also looked like she was o...

Sundays were weird. They were either an absolute drag that just went on forever, or they were too damned exciting for her tastes.
That was mostly up to her clientele, of course. She couldn’t settle for a little boutique two b...

This dungeon has gone on for waaay too long. I think one more chapter, then we can do the usual POV change chapter?
I was gonna do it from Fran's POV, but after thinking about it, I think it might be cooler to have it from a bystander's? Like, one of the teens in the food cour...
