Submitted to Contest #104

I came home from my final long day of work and immediately changed into my pyjamas, grabbed a beer from the fridge, and sat my happy ass down on the couch. The selection of books from my shelf was small, but important to me; each one contains a story that says something about me, or about my life at the time I read it.

Submitted to Contest #100

It is considered the second worst sin to our people to break bread with your father’s murderer. But it was part of the plan -- the culmination of my life's purpose was to be at this very table in order to enact vengeance. I had to break a few eggs for this omelette, so to speak; coincidentally, one was sitting quite coquettishly on the edge of the plate in front of me, still steaming with it's content's aromas alluringly playing with my olfactory senses.
