Eternal Curse: Battleground chapter 5 (wip)

We all sat in the cold darkness of the laboratory and listened to Dad talk about the glory days of Mom and his nights out on patrols. I guess by the time I came along, a lot of things must have changed, just as he’d said. I never knew about these patrols he and Mom went on until that moment.

Reliving the past was helping and enlightening us all in so many ways, but Dad’s reaction was the most obvious. Slowly, little by little, Dad was beginning to transform. I escaped up stairs briefly, through an old lift system that ran straight through Sheldon’s quarter and even onto the third level of the domicile, to gather up Dad’s things so we could help him dress. We were all optimistic that he might’ve actually been able to make his public appearance at the service later on.

Eternal Curse: Giovanni’s Angel chapter 5.2 (wip)

Mira smiled, leaned in closer to Giovanni, and answered, “You were not at all what I was expecting to see the first time I laid eyes on you. I was expecting maybe a pale, skinny man, who looked malnourished. You’re not that at all.”

“So I guess I disappointed you,” replied Giovanni.

“On the contrary,” said Mira. “You really are gray and so much more than I could have imagined.” She continued in a slightly flirtatious tone, “You’re not like any person I’ve ever seen, and I definitely don’t think you’re the monster you imagine or describe yourself to be.”

Giovanni tilted his head down and scooted a little bit away from Mira. “You’ve only been here one day,” he said with a sigh. “You have plenty of time to change your mind. You have not yet seen the monster I can be.”

It’s Like the Full Moon chapter 3.2 (wip)

“Why not,” said Paul. “Take me for instance, I stopped drinking like a fish once I became old enough to do it legally and now I only drink socially, but I got pretty pissed in my time.”

“In your time,” snickered Rebecca slightly placing her hand over her mouth just touching her bottom lip with her index finger. “You couldn’t possibly be old enough to be talking about ‘in your time.’”

Paul tilted his head slightly adoring Rebecca’s delicate gestures with her hands before responding to her comment. “Just how old do you think I am?” he asked seriously.

“Young,” replied Rebecca simply.

“I’m twenty-two for the time being, but I have a birthday in two weeks if that suites you better,” Paul stated firmly.

“Twenty-two, oh my. Are you still in school?” asked Rebecca.
