Rapid Response, Lingering Thoughts
The parched soil of the desert floor was comforting. Not because it was familiar, but because it was timeless. Unlike seasonally changing forests, trees that counted rings each year, this dirt just was. Just like the timelessness of unlife ( Read more... ) -
All Through the Night
Her body was only a slender silhouette on the king sized bed. Above her she knew the ceiling was there but it was indistinguishable from the pitch black of a light-less room. Instead of staring into the darkness, Devony was lost in a dusty old memory reel in her own mind ( Read more... ) -
Slipping on the Same Snow
The Moore house was a fun-fair of blood, gore and slaughter. As she picked her way into the living room, Devony couldn't believe an Elder had done this, the showmanship was just...too excessive, like a child trying to prove themselves ( Read more... ) -
Hijo de la Chingada
Devony ran her fingers through her hair, drawing triangles into hexagons on the corner of the paper. She liked this pen, smooth, medium ballpoint. Having a nice pen made everything better - even dirty work.

Aggitation
The streets were dismal and humidly misty as she paced down their cobbled twists and turns. She never could quite grasp the why anyone would want to follow the path of power - it was honest to gods boring. Just like the management of her current nightly activities. Exciting as stocking shelves at a grocery store, straighten here, refill there, ( Read more... ) -
City of New Orleans
Devony was moderately disappointed by the lack of Len. Brushing irritably at the tiered ruffles, she couldn't imagine the next time she'd be in dress and so it would have been nice for him to at least be able to bear witness to the fact - that way (just in case he decided to) he couldn't give her shit about it forevermore. Oh well.
She hadn't been ( Read more... ) -
Last hurrah? Nah, I'd do it again!
Devony's eyes shifted side-to-side suddenly as her hands patted down the numerous and varied pockets in her sweater and pants. Finding what she was looking for, she held out a flat, rectangular little box with a clear lid out to Len ( Read more... ) -
...both of 'em?
You two have missed each other, is that not why you're here?? And she cares about you. Go ahead, deny it.

..."This piece of silver here says my friend here can whoop up on a game of billiards ( Read more... )
