k A Tale Of Two Brothers
There's a story of two bothers. Two other brothers or the same brothers. One gets twisted in the throes of early tumultuous history telling. Warped over time to fit exigency and greed.
Both had fine brides that loved them very well, but the younger who ruled the heavens grew jealous of his elder and coveted his wife. So he conspired with the nether world to kill his younger brother. They succeeded.
They lay a trap and drowned him in the great river, causing a panic in the realm below .
His wife led the search and eventually found him nestled...

k- Slaves Do Not A Lord Make
Further along he walked softly alongside Mercury. Witches fun and dead innocents behind now. He mourned his failings, wishing he were better, always better. Filling his heart with guilt and pain he carried as the weight of oceans.
His legacy was long and troubled, tinged with greatness and tragedy. He carried almost all unknowingly, save for his line. Royal of royals he respected it and strove to better it in all ways, compassion being one. His name will drop form the story in time, his given name that is ... his other name will follow him and his offspring through eternity...

Jeff awoke to his phone alarm at 6am. Rolling over to quiet it. Then punching in his pin to check his texts, Facebook notifications, Twitter notifications, Instagram etc. Seeing the large number today he settles in to scroll through them in turn. Scrolling the titles and opening words of each, then opening and sometimes replying to interesting ones.
He pays particular attention to a co-worker's comments and posts. The blonde with the big tits he's been trying to bed. Another sexy selfie she tagged him in. Ogling her pic in a tight fall sweater with a come hither look, has his lust...

The Case of the Secret Gems (P.Du Sang Mystery) pt 2
Hi Pauline, are you alright?” Mr. Brown asked as he watched her slam her car door and storm up her front porch.
“Hey, Mr. Brown. Everything is superb.” She said as she opened her front door to the house. She turned giving him a slight smile, in hindsight, it might have looked a little strange since she never smiled at him before. She went inside, dropped her keys on the little table by the door, and straight to the guest bedroom on the second flight.
Pauline opened the door and immediately regretted that she left all her things in boxes.

The Case of the Secret Gems (P.Du Sang Mystery) Finale
Twelve O’clock
The library at Valhalla Road was filled with not only books but the suspects.
“I know you all do not see why you have been gathered here instead of the police department.” Vine said as she paced looking at all of them.
“This is ridiculous.” Mr. Barker said as he approached the detective.
“Sit down Mr. Barker.” Vine said, “Give me a moment and all will be revealed.”
“Mr. Anastos. You knew Ms. Arkwright more than you let on?”
“Excuse me?” He said as sat strain in his chair.
“Yes, you are openly...

k- Present Incoherent
I sleep infrequently and sparingly. The apartment is too cold and too hot and I think it's just me. It's as cluttered as my mind is these days. My practical memory ... google, and my personal memory riddled with mysteries.
I dream tales ... stories, fantasies, horrors ... truths? I don't know. One night I am a mighty King, loved and revered for wisdom and a child must be split ... and Mother defers ... and I wake sweating. Another I'm a soldier with a flint musket, rushing up a hill bayonet affixed and ready to skewer a Redcoat with young terrified eyes. I run him through and...

Bonfire Publishing part 2
Once the plane landed in Heathrow. I hate to admit that Sam was right. The day was gray and there was moisture on the ground from a light rain.
Looking at both of them, walking through the terminal, with an attitude of ‘I can't believe I am here doing this when I could be home doing something else.’
Correction, that only came off of Meg. What came off of Sam was I'm not messing with these people, and they are going to give us the money we asked for.
The meeting was to be held at “The Cause”. It was a nightclub that is on the East End of London...

Bonfire Publishing part 4
I stood up from the table leaving Jordan on his knees. I needed to speak to Meg and Sam about this situation.
I walked straight past them to the bar, and they locked eyes with each other, knowing that was the signal to come to me.
“What's going on you look like you want to, I don't know?” Sam said
I motion for the bartender to give me a glass with a strong drink. I drank it down in one swallow before I spoke to the both of them.
“Jordan wants me to put him through a scene. He said he's willing to be my sub for only one night and I...

Shadow (My version of vampire)
Who are we on this weird sphere we call Earth? I walk among all of you in complete shadow and observe, what seems to me as being alive, if you can call what I seen, as being alive. You wake up in a cloud of complete delusion that you are doing what needs to be done to survive. You have no purpose in life. Your hopes and dreams seemed to be crushed around the age of twenty-one. If not crushed, then the innocent hope of getting your dreams to come true. Falls from your lips to these decrepit sidewalks and trampled on.
I may sound jaded and lost. On the contrary, I see things in its...

Life Lessons pt 2 (England)
One year later, turning fourteen should not be a pivotal point in anyone’s life. Spoke too soon.
Mom told me and my sister we were all going to England to visit family for the summer. We did not know how to feel since we had never met them before. We left when the sun was setting in the city. It was a beautiful site to see through the small circular window of the plane.
She gave both of us a piece of gum and we thought that was strange since we both have braces and are not allowed to eat it normally.
“Chew it and swallow when we take off. It will help with...

Life Lessons pt 3 (Love Bites)
My sister and I have been in the Uk for over three weeks, and we had two more to go. We learned that the train was called the tube, the bathroom was called the loo, and that the best way to have fish and chips was wrapped in paper, with salt and vinegar.
This particular day I was antsy. I was the oldest out of the five girls so there were times I wanted space. My sister and I were considered Irish twins. (Mom could not wait or was it Dad)
I brought this up because being the oldest at fourteen and having three thirteen-year-olds and one eleven-year-old left in a flat...
