New Everlight – Part 7
He liked me. But… closeted men were so annoying. It may not be appropriate, but who the fuck cared we were now dead to everyone we loved. Did they even get a chance to bury us or did we just disappear. Who was going to take care of my dad now? He was alone. We…

New Everlight – Part 6
I was starving. My stomach rumbled again and I thought about what might be good. A delicious burger, fries and a strawberry milkshake. Yeah, that would hit the spot. The compass pointed in a single direction. “Yes!” I shouted and looked smugly over at Nox. At least I got it to do what it’s supposed…

New Everlight – Part 5
We stepped out on to the sidewalk just beyond the glass windows and our senses were assaulted with foreign sights, sounds and smells. Everywhere we looked strange, exotic folks walked. The towering buildings jutting into the sky, some at strange angles that defied physics. There were even dragons and pterodactyls flying high above the glittering…

New Everlight – Part 4
I was about to comment on the kiss. That fucking kiss. His lips on mine. He was fucking hot. And he didn’t seem to recognize me. No one was looking in the window and trying to accost me. It felt glorious. Maybe this dying thing would be alright. Though I didn’t intend to die. Not…

New Everlight – Part 3
The room was quiet except for the initial pop I heard before standing in near the back wall with several glittering purple portals that hummed with magic. The room was mostly white with accents of purple lighting to highlight the glimmering portals in the room. A large polished reception desk sat in the middle of…

New Everlight – Part 2
Sweat poured down the back of my neck, normally the heat of the stage didn’t bother me. Tonight was different, even the cool air wasn’t enough to keep the sweat from dripping. And it didn’t help that the lights were ten times brighter and hotter than usual. Or that there was an impending threat on…

New Everlight – Part 1
It was just an ordinary day. Same things going on as usual. My heart was feeling a bit heavy, but nothing out of the ordinary. The streets were busy as I hung up the phone with my Dad. I’d called to wish him a happy birthday and to tell him I’d be late for dinner.…

NaNoWriMo
Another start to another project. Nothing is sticking, but that’s what you get when your writer lets you drive the train. I’m a train wreck after all. Anyway, we are doing NaNoWriMo, and we’ve already started. For those who don’t already know NaNoWriMo stands for National Novel Writing Month. It spans all of November where…

Not Dead!
Alex and I aren’t dead. Our story isn’t dead. AJ found Baldur’s Gate 3 and has been in a spiral of BG3 games and content and totally not letting me live my life in my world. Instead I’ve been loving every second of watching first the Half-Elven warlock beat the game while romancing a flirty…

The Book – Part 14
Fucking hell this boy was gonna run me dry. And I loved it. He was so fucking hot. We ate our ramen when it came and he sipped at his water. We chatted about music. He loved dance music and gay boys, 80s glam and rock ballads. His playlists were littered with classical and ballet,…

The Book – Part 13
We drove south east through Elysium. I actually got to sight see as we drove. The Church of the Damned passed on the right as we turned towards the Enclave. The church was much the same as the one in New York. Though probably it was the other way around, as this was the original.…

The Book – Part 12
So yesterday’s club visit was for the same purpose, but it wasn’t the same vibe. I wandered around the pool house after breakfast wondering what I should wear, something other than basic black that Benji called my signature calling card. Nox had gone in wearing a tattered hoodie and chucks. He didn’t act like he…
-
The Book – Part 11
After calling Alex I took a walk to the Archives. Only a few places still were maintained, and the place with all the books was one of them, despite it being empty. There wasn’t even a librarian in the place. I had to use the card catalog in the archaic ways of the old world…

The Book – Part 10
About 10am while I was still in bed I got a text. It woke me from a dream of a sexy body dancing for me nearly naked — or at least I had hoped he was. The sound burst through my dreams with a piercing crack of a whip and my eyes shot open. Why…
-
The Book – Part 9
Getting back to my room wasn’t difficult. Jace had tossed all my things out the door into the hall. Sorta figured. I grabbed my bag with my pillow and headed down to the main office, the dorms always had someone on duty.
-
The Book – Part 8
The parking garage was empty of people but still full of cars. Maybe for work? Clean up? Or maybe just a place to safely park while you caught the train? I dunno. Didn’t really care.
-
The Book – Part 7
Everything felt good. Hot guy felt good. Smelt good. Oranges and citrus and his personal musk from sweating on the dance floor. Everything was amazing and when he started swearing as we left I was sure I fucked something up.
-
The Book – Part 6
The default notification went off on my phone as I was scraping the last bits of icecream and pancake from my plate. I glanced down at the screen to see what it was — probably just some stupid spammy email but it wasn’t. Was a text from Nox — _his_ name was Nox, it still…
-
The Book – Part 5
I got the guys number. I was so happy with myself, but I was so pissed I didn’t have my phone. The music thumped around us as we climbed the glass steps to the offices above. It was surreal the allure of the cold and the vampiric energy in the whole place was wild. Back…
-
The Book – Part 4
I watched his fine ass walk away from me. He was trailing after the owner of the club out a side entrance. I almost followed him out but Benji slid into the vacant spot with a wide grin. “So, he was cute. But that’s Johnny Rose he’s trailing after.”
-
The Book – Part 3
I was pretty sure the hot guy was flirting with me. His smile was infectious and he couldn’t take his eyes off my lips which only made me bite my bottom lip more. So maybe not as straight as I originally thought. But I didn’t get a chance to look long, or figure out what…
