Celeste tugged on his suit. He’d been to plenty of social functions before, so this shouldn’t be too hard. Entering the Black Cat, he frowned. The place was beautiful and Victorian-looking. His outfit of a three-piece tuxedo was not out of place, ensuring that everyone upheld a formal ambiance. However, the amount of people were staggering and Celeste found his chest constricting from an inexplicable reason. Almost every seat was taken by someone talking to another person. The bar was swamped, some people with drinks and chatting, and others...
MONDAYAloe waited expectantly for totality. He had spent the past hour using a filter on his phone to record and watch the moon slowly overtake the sun. Right now, it was a tiny sliver of silver that was quickly receding. Camped out in his backyard, Aloe could hear his neighbors chattering excitedly as it got progressively darker.

Asi stood at Lila’s feet, letting her shadow block the sun until Lila opened her eyes in annoyance (which didn’t last long). “I,” she announced, “have a wonderful surprise for you.” Lila’s eyes fell to the bottle. “Beer?” “Not only beer, but ...
TW: Mild goreSarah gasped. What was this place? The bookshelves were carved out of wood, swirling patterns and shapes caught her eyes before she continued with her inspection. At the far end of the room sat a cozy crimson couch and on the desk next to it, an old-looking lamp with a glass shade. Dust motes floated through the air and covered every surface.
