New Everlight – Part 20
Dazzle offered me a drink which I greedily took. “Whiskey.” I said. She seemed impressed and waited with her fingers steepled in front of her while my drink was poured and I was sipping at the amber liquid enjoying the burn as it went down. “We need a particular skill set of you and your…

New Everlight – Part 19
We jumped into the next available cab. It was a tight fit. You’d think when there were pachydermous sized persons in the world you’d have pachydermous sized vehicles. But maybe that’s just me. We could have waited but Pachy didn’t seemed to mind. I sure as fuck would. I often complained about seats not fitting…

New Everlight – Part 18
It wasn’t for several more blocks that looked behind me to see if Nox had followed me. But he was no where to be seen. And those creatures were getting away with shit we didn’t even know was ours. Did I really care? I did. No one stole from me. And then a memory flooded…

New Everlight – Part 17
We were seriously looking for a room. When we had those convenient portals to use. But could we use the same one, if they lead to our little place? That was an experiment we’d have to figure out, but Alex had obviously not been listening to Ms. Starbright when she told us all about our…

New Everlight – Part 16
I pulled my lips in and just watched him squirm as he confessed his desire to kiss me. I had to admit since seeing the video of him dancing I wanted to more than kiss him. In the video he’d been wearing clothes that left little to the imagination. Every line his muscles made as…

New Everlight – Part 15
Weird shit kept happening. I had no control. But when that machine did it’s thing I felt a tingle across my skin and a flare of purple magic from my side. Fuck! I rushed off to find a table and there was a man following behind me. He was rumpled and frustrated looking. He glared…

New Everlight – Part 14
As if my day wasn’t going horribly wrong already, but the gut wrenching shift from one place to another was starting to make me feel nauseous. But it was over almost as soon as it started. A soft pop of my ears and the light around was blinding despite being softly lit room. The sound…

New Everlight – Part 13
There was a soft pop in my ears as I felt ground beneath my feet and the twisting of my gut stopped. The scroll I’d taken rest against my left hip like a gun holstered there for later use. My right wrist itched and as I pulled the sleeve of my red hoodie up I…

New Everlight – Part 12
I was nervous as I walked my usual path to the bar. It was open mic night, but it wasn’t just any Thursday. It was the Thursday after a compilation went viral. I expected fans to show up. It was the first time that anyone talked about coming to see me sing and play. I…

New Everlight – Part 11
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, cars blared their horns, sirens wailed in the distance. I was on my way to a pub that had open mic night. Rumor was a guy…

New Everlight – Part 10
Mysterious Benefactor Adrian watched the swirling pool with the defiant blue-eyed man starting at into the abyss waiting. He shouted, “I’m not playing this game.” Of course, one of his chosen souls would be belligerent. Nox had tried to get him to see things differently but he gave up eventually. Adrian was certain that they…

New Everlight – Part 9
IREP Case Manager “Dagnabit!” Drusilla shouted. “Why the hells do they gotta be all obstinate!” Henrietta looked over the cubicle wall and giggled, “At least he’s cute doing it.” Drusilla looked up at her coworker and glared. “Why did I have to get two stubborn shits! How many times are we going to have to…

New Everlight – Part 8
Was there any place he went that he didn’t make friends? He seemed more than happy to be chatting with strangers — kissing them even. Though he didn’t look like he was going to kiss the man with the robot child thing. I sat down at a small table waiting for Nox to join me.…

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.…

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,…
