It's been a while...

The cars were all long, sleek and black as they sped through the traffic in a determined pattern, working in concert and blocking out any cars that might try and squeeze between. It was necessary that they arrive at the same time. Surround the building. Block off any chance of escape ( Read more... )

What is the biggest lie you ever told? What were the consequences?It was a lie I told myself. That the Centre would let me leave with Tommy. That I could have a normal life. That we could go to Oregon and build a cabin and live happily ever after ( Read more... )

What would you place in a personal ad if you were making one?Please. As if I would ever need such a device to find companionship. And I'm not looking for love. I don't...I don't need it. Not anymore.

Yes. Absolutely I believe there is truth to the statement "Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer." That could be because I am surrounded by those who want to destroy me. I work with my enemies. I do their bidding. I wait. I learn. I observe. I bide my time. I cannot do anything without information, and the only way to get it is ( Read more... )

I have money. Fame would be dangerous. Happiness is an illusion that is far too easily shattered.

When I was a little girl, my mother used to read to me. One of our favorite books was Little Women. I used to think how lucky the March girls were, to have their mother and each other. Their troubles seemed bearable ( Read more... )

I've always been fond of my Smith & Wesson 9mm. It's accurate with minimal recoil, and fits well in my hand. Like an old friend, who's seen me through far too much ( Read more... )
