The Flower of Return Prologue

          “Thane, tell me about Rhyna. Please, pretty please, oh pwease!” A soft sad smile played across my features as I looked down at the young blond four years of age demanding a story. His features reminding me so much of the woman the young one asked to hear of. Ignoring the twinge in my heart, I picked the little lad up and leaned back in the chair. My mind easily drifted back to my younger sister.

                “Alright, Jace let me take you back to a time before you were born. A time that was filled with the smell of smoke, blood, and death. Times were, all we knew was war. This won’t be a happy story.” I warned, but it was useless the lad was already enthralled into a tale yet spun.

          “Thane, war ended a year ago.” I chuckled nodding in acknowledgment.

Black Love Prologue

      Jasmine stared at the dark starry sky moonlight glinted off the bloody tears as they trailed down his cheeks. A sigh seemed louder than usual in the wind, as he turned from the wilderness and into his study.  The vibrant red and gold blurred together as he stumbled into a desk and onto a couch, choked sobs shaking his body.

“Why?”

Stupid Bet

Cal tapped his pencil against the desk in a random rhythm demanding his mind to think of the correct answer to the test. He could hear the irritated huffs around him, feel the burning glares that bore into him, yet none stopped his pencil.

‘Answer, answer damn it what could be the answer.’ He looked back over his paper and decided to select randomly. His pencil moved in circular motions now, much to the relief of the rest of those around him.
