Andrea drove to her office building, unaware that she had been tailed every mile that they left the school, all the way to series of office buildings downtown where she worked as a warehouse sales representative.

The Marriage Contract
“Marriage contract?” Mallory asked, the words hitting her like a brick to the mind, temporarily causing her to pause.

“You sure you are ready to go back?” Andrea found herself asking Misha.
No grand insight came, no great revelation about what to do next came to Andrea, despite her desperate plea. In the end her only recourse was to eventually put Misha to bed, and ...

The alert came loud and imposing. As a dedicated healer with not much else to her name, Gwen of course jumped at the chance of leaching both skills and experience from helping the higher up members of her guild.

Dr. Grier watched the little girl with her helmet and gloves enter the office building. In a way she looked like a cross between a space cadet, and a racecar driver. Her clothes were plain and nondescript, which only helped to highlight how odd the gloves an...
