Rain shimmered on the streets like melted silver that November evening. Trent didn’t even know why he turned down that alley. Something pulled him off the main road—past the crowds, the noise, the neon. Past logic. It was quiet there. Too quiet. He might’ve turned back, but then he saw her. She stood at the alley’s end, dry under the wide brim of a black hat. Her coat was long, velvet by the look of it, though the dim lig...

Countless times, Landon had imagined what he might say if he ever saw Alice again. He'd tried to think of the words which would make her explain why she left, and which would convince her to return. But now, with her standing in the shadows before him, he could only sputter, "You've missed me?" Taking a step back, he shook his head. "That won't fucking cut it, Alice, not when you left without so much as a goodbye." She he...

For a week, Landon stayed away from the shop. During that time, he continued his search for Alice and Van, which proved to be as fruitless as ever. Frustration gnawed away at him whenever he thought of Selene and her refusal to provide any more information. But as Selene would have quickly pointed out, she did offer. And he made another choice: he chose Mara. He spent plenty of time thinking of the two young women, and wh...

When Landon arrived at the shop five minutes before seven on Monday evening, Mara apparently sensed his despondent state, for her greeting was more subdued than usual. She didn't even attempt any good-natured teasing; instead, she quickly stood and invited him to follow her. "I actually have an appointment this time," he said as Mara led him to Selene. "I'm aware." Glancing over her shoulder, she offered a warm smile. "I'...

Landon hesitated outside the shop door, his gaze drifting to the unobtrusive lettering on its glass: Consultations, Readings, Guidance. Based on that description alone, one might have assumed the business provided financial planning. It was only the accompanying illustration, an uplifted palm with an eye nestled in its center, that indicated the real purpose of the place. Setting aside his skepticism, Landon stepped insid...

Justin looked around nervously at the wonderous costumes and people behind them who walked from event to event at Dingaling City's annual pride parade. This was Justin's first time, having been raised in a conservative environment that would blush at such events, as he was doing so now.  "Okay," thought Justin, "what first?"  He was trembling in the heat of the summer, his light blue cotton button-up was showing telltale...

Sienna and Jasper had spent the last two weeks together, holed up in his warehouse basement. Luckily, Sienna had been right about there being a bathroom down there. In fact, there was basically an industrial sprinkler that Jasper had turned into a relatively functional shower, complete with shampoo, soap, and even a razor. Sienna was starting to feel more comfortable here. It helped that she had sent Jasper to grab a few...

"I know what you are," said a voice. Sienna glanced up from her phone looking to see who had spoken. It was some guy, mid-twenties, long dark hair, unkempt. He was sitting at a nearby table watching her, his feet propped up on an extra chair. He had this ineffable kind of sleazy charm that she couldn't quite describe. He definitely stood out. He was wearing a tight black band t-shirt, black jeans and combat boots. It was...

The year is 1987, Karim Araneidae was sitting in his study thinking over his life. He was born in 1843, living in Egypt and moving around as it suited his lifestyle. He was born a fairly powerful psychic, having discovered his abilities at the age of twelve when he first willed someone to do his bidding. Many are born with these powers, some having minor abilities such as forecasting weather and events, some, empaths, can...

The Forest Nymph The hunter paced silently through the forest, his bow held at a low ready. The sunlight that pierced the thick canopy was tinted a faint green, and a pale smoky mist collected around the forest floor. The hunter stood a proud 6'4'', and was nude but for his quiver and a small animal skin bag. His powerful lean frame attested to his hunting prowess; his muscles stood like knotted ropes, earned by a lifetim...

Hello. My name is Ava. I know, not a very creative name. Blame my mother. She said she wanted me to have a plain name in the hope that I would avoid the family "curse." Turns out, even with my plain name, the "curse" would strike me as well, at an even younger age then most. I guess I should explain the "curse" before I go any further. You see, I come from a long line of psychics. We aren't the lucky ones that can read th...

"Kiss my cock." I heard as plain as day. I was sitting across from a client who wanted to know where the key's to an old car were that he had misplaced. I stared at him and took some more notes. I crossed my long legs and he was visibly turned on. "I have never been to a psychic before.You are my first." He tells me with a smile. "Well, there is a first time for everything I guess." I say. I tell him to relax and I light...
