Come back soon…Part three
I fell asleep….The crying and the tension and Teddy leading to the whole thing with mom and stuff. I guess it all just added up and was too much too soon for me to stay awake.
It’s dark in my room when I wake up and there’s a telling scent in the air. Leather and cologne but over that the scent of wine dipped cigars that were a hallmark of my dad.
Dad…he’s scruffy looking as usual and smells like he just came back from having a smoke and he sets down the Grisham he was reading and fixes me with that dad stare.

Chapter 29
*Before…
I step between them and into his cell. He’s having too much fun to be a bad guy. He’s…just a little tarnished and bent I think. Actually I like him already.
“Thank you Ryann that’s kind of you.” I actually sit on his wall cot and look at him.
“My mother raised me not to be a complete hooligan lady.”
“Wren, you can just call me Wren.”
“Oy, well that’s an honor considering we just met. What can I do for you then?”
I smile at him and look him up and down. “I’m finding myself in need of a burglar.”
*And Now….

Come back soon…Part two
I’m sitting up a little more and trying to clean my face and get the snuffles from crying out when my mom comes in.
I hurt looking at her. Well sorta looking at her if my head wasn’t hanging down so low.
She looks tired, like scared, hurt, worried and stressed out with no sleep tired.
My heart does a little hurting mewl because she doesn’t deserve that, not after everything she’s been through.
See, mom’s a breast cancer survivor.

Debriefings
by Anam Chara
Along life’s journey we each encounter those events where all that we know, all that we do, and all that we are may change. But even as we approach such events, we don’t always notice their markers until we look behind us and see them for what they were.
One boy is about to learn that he has already passed such an event, and nothing will ever be quite the same…

A Medallion Trilogy - Angel, A New Beginning (Continued)
By Anon Allsop
Deep within my dreams, I heard keys jingling and being inserted into the door, slowly the handle was being turned. I realized then that it wasn't a dream and in reality, Ray was finally returning home. The predicament that I was in never even crossed my mind, when the door swung open and Ray walked in holding two bags. I could hear him setting the groceries down in the kitchen, then with a sleigh-bell like sound, dropped his keys onto the counter.
"It's just me!" He yelled out, I could hear him come around the corner as I began to get my wits about me. Suddenly, I felt panic as I realized that he would see me dressed and looking like his wife! What would he think when he saw me? I panicked, trying to get up from the chair.
"Hey Alex, I hope you don't mind Chinese, I stopped at a litt..." He froze, short of the living room. "Angel? My God, but... but how?" He said as he looked from me to his tiny daughter.

Anyway, this little blurb has been in the back of my mind and hard drive for months, I debated releasing it...but what the heck, I'm a bit of a story purist, and Min is getting kind of loud again.
So here it is, standard disclaimers apply and all that.

Vanilla Sky…Part 9.
*Before…
I’m kind of perplexed watching it until in like twenty minutes the fire’s out and the water’s starting to touch my toes.
“Wow…what?”
“Bay of Fundy tides Sam, fastest and highest tides in the world.” Shane says smiling.
“Okay…that was very, very cool.” I’m actually sill impressed with it still and still stealing glances at the water as we walk back to the vehicles and the guys drive us all home. Music’s on, heater on, friends and just…I want to live now…I want my life so badly now.
*And Now…
