The light belonged to those who could return to their happiness. Huin nodded at this new fact as she slid between the buildings. The cement felt cool under her feet, and the shadows of the apartments and the office complex together kept the sun away. Or maybe the sun didn’t want to shine here. Well, it wasn’t Huin’s business as to where the sun wanted to shine. Taking the next right, she really ought to have been focused on her next hit, but her mind strayed back to that woman she saw on the sidewalk. At her ears, small versions of lemonade ...

Warnings: one-sided sexual acts, sexual unenthusiasm Without a moment of hesitation, Jiaye jugged her head in the direction of the girl hanging upside down on the plush seating of the performing arts center. “Her? The school loon?” Ed laughed. “No way that Mo will.” “Who said that I wouldn’t? I’m a man of my word.” “Because you haven’t had a real girlfriend, let alone a fake one. Have you even ever asked out anyone?” Rengmo shot Ed a glare when his laughing didn’t subside, then glanced at the girl. Dark hair fell like streamers across the fl...

The moment he saw the thick lipstick of Jiaye approaching him with a smirk, Rengmo held his breath.“So, Mo, how’s it going with your girlfriend?”She dragged the last word out and sniggered while he squirmed in his seat.“Fine. She’s great.”“Great. Then you can invite her to this weekend’s party.”He turned back to his sandwich, trying to look unaffected and disinterested, because the malice flashing in Jiaye’s eyes made him shudder.“She doesn’t like stuff like that.”“But if you convince her, she’ll go. She adores you, Mo.”Her consonants dragge...

Danjune fixed her eyes on the word before her. Allergy - intolerance of or adverse reaction to a specific substance, esp. a food. Below that was an informal definition of: An antipathy To the side was a link to another website. The excerpt of the website listed a few symptoms like watery or itchy eyes or nose, sneezing, stuffy noses, shortness of breath, and swelling. And below that excerpt was a list of common allergies. Danjune scrolled through but didn’t find one that seemed to fit her situation. After all, Kiusik wasn’t made out ...

*Note: All the titles and mentioned plots in this story are made up or intended to be used fictitiously. I must have uncanny guessing powers if a matching book and plot mentioned here actually exist in the real world. Though I think that the books I’m describing would be fun to read. WINK WINK*“You’re angry.”The one with long dark hair, Moida, sighed, throwing a glare at her companion but not denying the statement.“How can I not be? My parents are forcing this oh so charitable donation for the library so that I have ‘no excuse to keep wastin...

I noticed a rose-colored slip stuck in my door, wondering who needed to leave a physical piece of message. After all, no one used mail these days. Communication had been streamlined to ocular portals, the transparent screens installed across one wall in the living room, and everyone was expected to carry their mini portal no matter what. Reaching for the slip, I jerked my hand back when its edge stabbed my hand. Ah—I forgot that the edges could be ‘sharp.’ It was not as if I knew nothing about the slip’s production. A brief unit of education...

From: YOUR BESTIE JAYCAAA Please? Just until five thirty after I pick up the ring! Len felt his face fold up in agony at the text. Until five-thirty? The time that was after everyone wanted to leave and not stay a second longer at the too-many-floors office building after a grueling day of entertaining clients? The idea of trying to stop anyone from leaving for the weekend was basically a death wish or indicative of becoming a victim of voodoo puppetry, especially if one tried stopping his supervisor and best friend’s girlfriend, Ryu Nama...
