When the phone rang Kore was the same place she had been for the last three hours, lying on the floor of her crappy apartment looking at projector slides with only the aid of the exposed light bulb directly above her head ( Read more... )

I had left Willow's last night not really looking foward to actually going to classes the next day, however at least it was a class I liked. The money talk seemed to calm me. So I woke up, and once again noticed that Tara hadn't been to the room yet. I swear that girl should just move into Janey's room, she surely doesn't hang out here anymore. I ( Read more... )

With the initial meeting with Professor Walsh out of the way, I turned my eye to my other assignment: the recruitment of suitable candidates to swell the ranks of our prestigious and powerful little firm. Kore was actually pretty helpful on this front, providing me with some intel about a female student who was proficient in the magic arts who'd ( Read more... )

In the shower, I just stood with my head under the spray, eyes closed. Now that I was by myself, I could feel a slight edge. Like a slight tiredness was trying to creep in, but was being kept away by something. The bond, I’m assuming.

I knew how it felt to be the only one in the house, especially with Mom. I had no idea whether or not it would work, but I was willing to make an effort at least. It wasn't fair to pull a girl out of ( Read more... )

My book was open and if anyone had walked in my room I would look like I was studying. Really it was quite deceptive with my calculator at my side, graph paper just in reaching distance, and book propped open just begging to be read. However I was not thinking about physics.. actually for some reason it is my psychology book I am staring blankly ( Read more... )

I was awakened by the sound of Lottie's neighbor striking up his push mower next door. It was a dreadful sound, almost as loud and annoying as a Gilbdar demon mating. Not that I had personal knowledge of course. There had simply been a case when one such demon was terrifying a small town near San Francisco and I was hired to take care of it. I ( Read more... )
