So not dumb enough to invoke Murphy’s Law out loud. “This thing is killing you.”<br /><br />“More than just me.” She managed half a smile. “I heard what you did to Eidolon.” The whites of her eyes disappeared beneath the flood of parasites inside her. “Never seen a man so proud in his pain.”<br /><br />“I didn’t entirely mean to hurt him.”<br /><br />Jackson gave a jerky nod. “I know. That’s the part scaring the shit out of me.”<br /><br />“Hari—”<br /><br />Did I move? Did she?<br /><br />My hand found the back of her neck, massaged. She exhaled, the metallic tang of blood on her breath. The slightest fracture in her control and I died.<br /><br />“You should run. I’m not strong enough to resist you.” I leaned closer to hear her. “I’m serious.” She rubbed her cheek against mine. “I want you, Kelly.”<br /><br />“Don’t.” Don’t what? Why was I protesting?<br /><br />“I’m sorry.” She nuzzled against my neck. “I’m terrified.” She drew in a sharp breath. “So beautiful. So delicious. Sunshine and soap. And your pulse just thump-thump-thumping away.”<br /><br />That <i>thump-thump-thumping increased in speed.</i><br /><br />“I want to taste you.” She broke away and I could think again. Could recognize a flirtation with death. “What happens if this doesn’t work?”<br /><br />“Nothing changes, I suppose.” <i>You kiss me. Or maybe you kill me.</i><br /><br />“And if it does?”<br /><br />“Then everything changes.”<br /><br />@caramichaels<br />250 #WIP500 wordsCara Michaelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00956521710750982258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3660724681445159067.post-1066283856849884242014-02-06T19:34:14.694-07:002014-02-06T19:34:14.694-07:00“I want to help with the potatoes!

I don’t WANT Galileo!”<br /><br />“Let her help, mother.”<br /><br />Noura padded downstairs, her smile too wide.<br /><br />“Think you’re so shrewd,” Fatima said. <br /><br />Nourah tornadoed in and stole a hug, which Fatima returned, then eased out of when it became, as most of Noura’s hugs did these days, too tight for too long.<br /><br /> “Get to work,” said Fatima, drying her hands on a towel.<br /><br />Fatima took up the knife with glee, set to work upon a helpless peeled potato. <br /><br />“What do you know about Galileo?”<br /><br />Cornered, Noura grimaced. <br /><br /> “He’s boring.”<br /><br />“Back upstairs, then?”<br /><br />“No.” Lips tight, brow furrowed, eyes set on her moving knife.<br /><br />“Galileo learned the truth about the sun not going around the earth. It looks like that’s what happens. But it’s not what happens. Actually the earth goes around the sun. He proved that with math and telescopes. People thought he was crazy. He had to prove it. No other way out.”<br /><br />Fatima seized a small and a large potato from the bowl, orbited the small one around the large one.<br /><br />“Sun. Earth. Got that?”<br /><br />Noura nodded. <br />“Did he get a prize? For telling the truth? Well, did he?”<br /><br />“No.” <br /><br />“No?”<br /><br />“They made him stand up in front of everyone and say the sun went round the earth, made him say the earth didn't move at all. But under his breath he said, 'It moves.' ”<br /><br />“Crazy. What was the point?”<br /><br />“Earth moves around the sun. Fool. Whether we’re crazy or not.”<br /><br />@bytoropov // 250 wordsyusuftoropovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18004039524825925903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3660724681445159067.post-43570673176175025132014-02-06T18:36:05.819-07:002014-02-06T18:36:05.819-07:00Reagan flopped on the chair, rubbing at her face. ...Reagan flopped on the chair, rubbing at her face. Working for one of the most powerful men in the city who didn’t care who got steamrolled underneath his expensive shoes was stressful. All she wanted to do was stay under the radar. Have a normal job. People were slowly becoming more aware of elementalists, other creatures that came through the thin shroud between worlds. <br /><br />Feraine said she should try to do something. Use her female wiles, even on Wrench. Reagan gave a snort. Easy for a mermaid to say. That skill sort of came natural to them. She had no female wiles. She had also seen the women Wrench takes out for dates. Unless she miraculously got money for a boob job and grew about six inches.<br /><br />“No other way out. I’m going to have to do some drastic things.” Reagan frowned before letting out a breath. The only thing she could do is get rid of the evidence of how much she owed Victor. And then disappear.<br /><br />Easy, right? And it would be easy to get away. She lived on a freaking boat. She grabbed her keys. It would help to have some accelerates to speed up the process. She liked the city as it was but she couldn’t stay.<br /><br />She ran into Wrench’s chest as she came up from below decks, almost falling back on the stairs. “Ooof! Where did you come from?”<br /><br />One dark brow quirked up as he grabbed her arm. “We have a job.”<br /><br />Goddammit!<br /><br /><br />250 words<br />@solimondAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3660724681445159067.post-18157937148669070332014-02-06T18:31:58.395-07:002014-02-06T18:31:58.395-07:00Chrissy and Lilly sat on the grass by the lake and...Chrissy and Lilly sat on the grass by the lake and waited for the humans to arrive. They held each other hand, like the sisters they were. “We could fly away. There’s nothing stopping us.”<br /><br />Lilly smiled, “I know.”<br /><br />Chrissy wiped away the tears on her cheeks. “I wish it did not come to this.”<br /><br />Lilly ran her fingers gently down her sister’s cheek, “Oh, sister. I know.”<br /><br />Chrissy could no longer hold back her tears. “I don’t want to fight! I don’t want to hurt anyone! Hasn’t there been enough death?”<br /><br />Lilly held her sister close, feeling Chrissy’s tears on her shoulder. “Then don’t fight. Stay safe. And let me do this.”<br /><br />Chrissy shook her head. “No.” She took her sister’s hands again. “We are one, sister. We are family.”<br /><br />Lilly stood, “Then let’s get ready. They’re coming.”<br /><br />“I know.” Chrissy looked at the carefully crafted chrysanthemums and lilies along the path to the south of the lake. “They warn us. The humans come.” She stood, “I wish there were another way.”<br /><br />“There’s no other way out of this. We fight now. Or we run forever.”<br /><br />Both fairies fluttered their wings, silently lifting off the ground, floating just above the surface of the lake, and waited for the humans. They hoped the humans learned. They hoped the humans fled. Both fairies knew the machines were part of them, and would act upon their wishes. None of the humans would survive.<br /><br />Chrissy and Lillie waited for the humans to arrive.<br /><br />250 words<br />@LurchMunsterAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3660724681445159067.post-69589882880495376072014-02-06T18:20:10.728-07:002014-02-06T18:20:10.728-07:00Spooky!Spooky!Louisa Baciohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12465650692407681636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3660724681445159067.post-1224939652021609582014-02-06T18:18:53.979-07:002014-02-06T18:18:53.979-07:00Very fun Charley.

She looks just like Kate. <br /><br />Amelia would’ve been so proud of our new baby and Kate, too.<br />If only our little one would’ve come a few minutes sooner…<br /><br />I promised Amelia there was time. I promised she’d have a chance to hold her before the cancer stole her last breath. Kate tried so hard. I could see it in her eyes, she felt like a failure. But she’s being strong for me. <br /><br />It was only moments ago that I’d knelt beside that hospital bed, one floor down, shedding all the pent up tears I’d held onto for six months. <br /><br />Six months… the doctor was right on the money. Our baby’s first breath was almost simultaneous with my partner’s last. <br /><br />Kate’s nurse rolls her bed in. Kate adjusts the baby so I can see her swaddled in her blanket. “You ready to name her?”<br /><br />I can’t help my blank stare. <br /><br />“Elizabeth?” My eyes meet hers. <br /><br />“You’re not alone, Liz,” she promised earnestly. I’m here for you, and we can do this… together.”<br /><br />She smiles sympathetically, one that I return. I get to my feet, anxious to hold my angel. Kate carefully lifts the little bundle, placing her in my arms. <br /><br />Mel would’ve loved you so much, I think, gazing down at her precious face. A familiar song rings in my ears, making me smile. <br /><br />“Caroline,” I whisper.<br /><br />Kate grins fondly. “Mel’s favorite song.”<br /><br />Words: 250<br />crjennings1988@gmail.com<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16536221285926614069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3660724681445159067.post-83798287244488879192014-02-06T18:11:05.091-07:002014-02-06T18:11:05.091-07:00“No.” Carly’s voice blared through the earphones.

Let’s try it again.”<br /><br />Tommie took a deep breath and grumbled a few choice words. Her eyes flicked to Carly and she caught a glimmer of a grin.<br /><br />The music started over and Tommie began belting out the lyrics. She got as far as the second line of verse before Carly cut in again. <br /><br />“Not louder, with more emotion. There is a difference.”<br /><br />Tommie yanked the earphones from her head and stomped to the sound booth’s door. Pushing it open, she glared at Carly. “What the fuck is your problem?” <br /><br />“You can do better. I know you can.”<br /><br />Tommie grabbed her guitar case. “Guess what? I’m out of here. You can take your song and stick it up your cute little ass.”<br /><br />“Your label already bought it. There’s no other way out, but you’re going to do it my way.”<br /><br />Carly was right. She was under contract to record the song. “Fine.” <br /><br />“Hey.”<br /><br />Tommie turned, raising her eyebrow. <br /><br />“Do you really think I have a cute ass?”<br /><br />@ScarletChastain<br />250 words from Rock Her WIP. <br />Want more Tommie?

Here's the real story: <br /><br />“We have to go back for them! They don’t know anything about being out here, away from their safe walls. They can’t survive.”<br /><br />“They will survive,” Gabrielle assured her. “They’re not as helpless as you think. They did manage to survive this long without being taken, which is longer than you.”<br /><br />She couldn’t resist the tease. Lissa was so strong and independent, unlike any of the shrinking women raised in the hostile world of slave traders and other Trader Guilds just looking for any excuse to take them. But that didn’t mean they were weak, like Lissa assumed. It took a lot of strength for a woman to survive in this world.<br /><br />What surprised her was the interest Lissa showed in protecting them.<br /><br />“They might know the enclave, but they don’t know the wilderness.” Lissa’s angry voice interrupted his thoughts as she realized the strength of her protectiveness just might get them killed.<br /><br />“Look, Lissa, there’s no other way out for us right now. If we try to go back for them, Travis’ men will kill both of us. If we take our chances with the Wildlings, we might survive to fight another day. With our injuries, we can’t run long enough to get to safety without help.”<br /><br />“No, there’s another option.” She said it so softly she wasn’t sure she heard her. “I just never thought I’d want to go back.”<br /><br />Mark held his breath. Was it possible she was about to reveal where she really came from?<br /><br />249 words<br />@WendyStrain<br />could-be excerpt from Out From the Delta ShadowsAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18092326935858534469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3660724681445159067.post-9409603308981295202014-02-06T16:50:36.809-07:002014-02-06T16:50:36.809-07:00“Tom!

Tommy!” She was choking, right there on the other side of the door, and he couldn’t do a damn thing about it. “I’m stuck, Tom!”<br /><br />Fury burned his arm as he punched the solid wooden door. He heard a crack and winced. Had that been his knuckle or the door? “What about the attic?”<br /><br />There was no answer. Terror grew within him and he grabbed the brass doorknob. “Damn it!” he said, hissing through his teeth. The fire must be right there. <br /><br />Where was she? “Emmy! Emmy!”<br /><br />His heart beat so hard he could hear it over the roar of the fire on the other side of the door. He pounded with his forearms, crying, though he felt as if the tears evaporated the moment they reached his cheeks. “Emmy!”<br /><br />“Son, come on, now.” The voice was muffled behind him as two large hands gripped his upper arms. “It’s not safe. You need to get out of the house.”<br /><br />“But my sister! She’s in there! There’s no other way out!”<br /><br />“I’m sorry, son, but we have to go now.” The yellow-suited fireman used both his arms to scoop Tom up and toss him over his shoulder, but Tom was kicking the whole way.<br /><br />“Emmy! Em! Emmy!”<br /><br />Behind him, just as they reached the stairs, there was a crash and a muted explosion. Orange heat rolled to take them, but the firefighter was faster.<br /><br />His sister hadn’t been. “Emmy!”<br /><br />= = =<br />@sandyquill<br />240 wordsSandi https://www.blogger.com/profile/01009946699607476442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3660724681445159067.post-31950911869745547882014-02-06T15:32:39.989-07:002014-02-06T15:32:39.989-07:00"I'm hiding in the tub," I whispered..."I'm hiding in the tub," I whispered to my wife, ducking into the bathroom.<br /><br />I watched Randi crawl under our bed before I slid the shower curtain back in place. I listened as our four year old daughter finished counting to twenty. <br /><br />"Ready or not, here I come!"<br /><br />Her bare feet slapped the wooden floor in the hallway as she muttered to herself, wondering where we might be. I held my breath as the shower curtain moved aside. <br /><br />"You found me!"<br /><br />My daughter screamed, backing out of the dark bathroom, holding herself. Her eyes were as big as soup bowls. I started to laugh. She hadn't been potty trained very long and I hoped I hadn't scared the pee out of her. <br /><br />"I have ta go potty!" she declared. She barely made it. "You scared me mommy!"<br /><br />I laughed. "I didn't mean to scare you. Did you find mommy?"<br /><br />Ava nodded, pulling her pants up. She washed her hands with too much soap, then looked at me. "She was easy to find."<br /><br />"That's good. Are you ready for dinner?"<br /><br />"I want to play again!"<br /><br />"But we have to eat."<br /><br />"I'm not hungry. I want to play again. One more game? Please?"<br /><br />Oh those damn green eyes of her, pleading up at me. There's no other way out of this, is there? <br /><br />"Okay, one more time. And then we're going to eat."<br /><br />"You count!" she shouted. <br /><br />Randi laughed at me, as I settled onto the couch. <br /><br />I hate hide and seek. <br /><br />@Aightball<br />250 wordsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3660724681445159067.post-82559412331781038292014-02-06T15:30:13.706-07:002014-02-06T15:30:13.706-07:00*lol* "Maybe I'd send help."

She carried on though however thinking that it was pretty typical of her life just now that she should become physically lost when mentally she'd been lost for about five years! <br /><br />Each turn she took bought back another reminder and Sarah was just starting to despair when She remembered her new friend, Kate. Kate was so poised. She didnt have much in life but she was in her own way incredibly rich. She made everything appear to be so simple and carefree no matter how terrifying they'd be moments before. Sarah felt so much more poised and graceful when she was with Kate that it was almost possible to believe she hadn't a care in the world. <br />A loud rumble startled Sarah back into the hear and now. Giggling to herself she murmered aloud "well that's the distress signal and up this tree and over I think" giggling still Sarah called ouy<br />“No other way out.” Then over she went.<br />Giggling quietly to herself Sarah went off in search of her best friend. <br />Somehow Sarahs little escapade in the maze brightened life for her.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12780678564632145260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3660724681445159067.post-44980913277672645262014-02-06T15:19:37.824-07:002014-02-06T15:19:37.824-07:00“I can’t believe you got us lost.” Mercy griped. “...“I can’t believe you got us lost.” Mercy griped. “One minute I’m minding my own business poking along the bookshelves playing Nancy Drew and the next you’ve got us creeping along some stupid passageway.” It was dark. Full of spider webs and what sounded suspiciously like rats. It was her fault, but damned if she was going to admit it. <br /> “What?! You’re the one with the sense of direction. I’m just along for the ride, remember? “ Kira narrowed her eyes, her lips thinning. <br />“Look. There’s no other way out. Let’s just go through the tunnel and it should lead us back to the main part of the house. Right?” <br />“Sure. Whatever. You figure it out. I’ll just stand here and hold the flashlight.”<br />“Kira! That’s not what I meant and you know it.” Mercy sighed, her tone softening. “Come on. We have to get back. Weren’t you the one that was so good at finding your way out of the haunted mansions in video games?”<br /> “This isn’t a video game.” Kira’s voice grew quiet. “Did you hear that?”<br />Mercy stilled. “No.”<br />“Over there.” Kira aimed the flashlight ahead of them on the right. It was a door<br /> “Why would there be a door in here?” Mercy whispered.<br />“Maybe it’s the way out.” Kira knelt down. “I just want to point out the next time we go on vacation, I get to pick. A ski chalet. With no weird passageways.”<br />“Fine.”<br />“Good.” Kira mumbled.<br /> Creaking, the door began to open…<br /><br />250 words<br />@erzabetbishop<br />erzabetwrites@gmail.comErzabet Bishophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15905893177327260270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3660724681445159067.post-41125912657961407192014-02-06T14:45:48.825-07:002014-02-06T14:45:48.825-07:00"Come on, chicken, it can't be that bad.&..."Come on, chicken, it can't be that bad."<br /><br />Rissa reached across the table and grasped Stacy's hand, and squeezed. A weak smile flitted across Stacy's face and when she looked up, Rissa was shocked to see the shimmer of tears clinging to her lover's naturally long eyelashes. Not caring who might see them, she scooted her chair closer until she could take Stacy in her arms and kiss the silent tears off her face.<br /><br />"Tell me, what happened, and who I have to kill," she murmured in between butterfly kisses. Drawn in by Stacy's sweet scent she brushed her lips across Stacy's and when she parted them on a shuddery exhale, Rissa swept her tongue across and sought entry. <br /><br />A shudder went through Stacy's slight frame and her hands fisted in Rissa's hair as she kissed Rissa back with an urgent need that spoke of her fragile state of mind.<br /><br />The judge would have a heart attack, if his precious daughter was seen out in public kissing another woman, but then maybe he was the problem. Stacy had been to see him today, after all.<br /><br />By the time they broke the kiss they were both breathing heavily, and Rissa almost didn't catch Stacy's whispered words.<br /><br />"I told him. There is no other way out of this now."<br /><br />"Told him what, chicken?"<br /><br />Something about the way Stacy looked at her, made Rissa's heart beat faster. Love, determination and a grim resolve shone through Stacy's eyes.<br /><br />"We're getting married tomorrow, babe."<br /><br />249 words<br />@mamaD8Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3660724681445159067.post-30044108748809695072014-02-06T14:44:09.729-07:002014-02-06T14:44:09.729-07:00“We’re going to die in here!

We’re trapped and no one knows where we are and”<br /><br />I grabbed her hair and kissed her hard.<br /><br />She struggled, shoving me away. “Is that all you can think about? You’re worse than a man!”<br /><br />“You were hysterical. It was kiss you or slap you. I picked the one I thought you’d prefer.”<br /><br />“I hate you. I don’t know why I came here with you anyhow.” She sank onto the cellar floor.<br /><br />“I thought you came here with me because we both wanted to get things back the way they were.”<br /><br />She looked away and my heart sank as I admitted the truth I had been trying to deny. It was over. It had been over for a long time but neither of us wanted to be the one to walk away.<br /><br />“Come on. Let’s get out of here.”<br /><br />“How? In case you haven’t noticed there’s a house on top of us.”<br /><br />She made it sound like the tornado had been my fault.<br /><br />“This cabin used to be a stop on the Underground Railroad. There’s a tunnel that leads down to the river.” I knelt next to the low opening in the wall.<br /><br />“I’m not going through that. It’s dirty and there are spiders and snakes and rats and…things.”<br /><br />“There’s no other way out.”<br /><br />She folded her arms across her chest.<br /><br />“Fine.” I crawled into the tunnel. <br /><br />“You can’t leave me!”<br /><br />Maybe I’d send help.<br /><br />Or maybe there really was no other way out.<br /><br />250 words<br />un.named.novel@gmail.com<br /><br />P.T.Wyanthttp://ptwyant.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3660724681445159067.post-47751307040903817932014-02-06T14:35:04.841-07:002014-02-06T14:35:04.841-07:00“What, in the name of all that’s holy, are you doi...“What, in the name of all that’s holy, are you doing?" Ami stopped just outside the kitchen, almost like she was afraid to come any farther.<br /><br />I grinned up at her. “Oh that’s good, coming from the chick with the Secular Humanist on Board bumper sticker.”<br /><br />“That doesn’t mean I don’t—hey, don’t change the subject. What is that?”<br /><br />“What do you think it is?”<br /><br />She stretched her graceful neck and sniffed the air. Cautiously, like a giraffe approaching the waterhole. “Smells like cake batter<br /><br />“You win a kewpie doll.” <br /><br />Ami frowned like she does when she thinks she’s out of her depth. Silly rabbit.<br /><br />“Okay, but why are you sitting on the floor stirring it?”<br /><br />If I told her it was so she’d stand over me in her mini skirt she’d either leave in a huff or come into the kitchen and…help. I’ve never been much of a gambler, even when the odds are in my favor.<br /><br />“There’s a method to the madness.”<br /><br />The next few seconds passed in a grinning contest, which I lost. There was no other way out of the kitchen, so she had me.<br /><br />Some things are even better than scratch chocolate cake.<br /><br />198 words<br />@CharleyDescoteAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00228896261596917489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3660724681445159067.post-83801623588088190122014-02-06T14:29:48.350-07:002014-02-06T14:29:48.350-07:00I see a Mandy I forgot to change over to Sandy.

The vent should be at the end.”<br /><br />“I see it!” Pam twisted around the corner with the grace of a cat.<br /><br />“Great.” Freedom lay a few feet ahead, along with the end of Mandy’s time alone with the woman of her fantasies. Locked in the closet together, Sandy had iced up, fear of rejection freezing the words she wanted to say in her throat.<br /><br />Metal crashed to the floor ahead. Pam disappeared into the hallway. There goes my chance.<br /><br />At the end of the tunnel, Sandy glanced down. A six foot drop. Not ideal head first.<br /><br />Pam held out her arms. “Roll out. I’ll catch you.”<br /><br />Inching her way out, Sandy reached for the other woman. Grasping Pam’s hands, she stopped.<br /><br />“Okay, now just let yourself go. I’ve got you.”<br /><br />With one last wiggle, Sandy flew out of the duct. Arms wrapped around her, yet they didn’t stop her from falling. She crashed onto something soft. Pam.<br /><br />“I’m so sorry.” Sandy tried to roll off, but Pam held her tight.<br /><br />“Don’t be.”<br /><br />Pam’s breath tickled her skin, filling Sandy with desire.<br /><br />“I’ve waited a long time to have you on top of me.”<br /><br />Sandy leaned closer and tasted her sweet lips, no longer afraid.<br /><br />250 words<br />@jsubject w/a @PaisleyBEroticaJessica E.
