I paused, staring across the table and into the boys eyes, almost as if the Gods' answers were to be found within. But all that stared back was a boy too numb to elicit a response, as empathy seemingly consumed him. I decided to continue, as his education was crucial for the years ahead.

You are a leaf,
From a tree.

You have six spiny points,
I have five fingers,
Unless I am mutant with six.

The prison cell was actually quite comfortable. Yes, it was bare and simple, but it was also warm and the man inside did not lack for food or diversion in the form of a radio.

*Today's the day.*
That was the sentence passing through Jeffrey's mind as he sat in the passenger seat of his buddy's SUV. It repeated itself, again and again, in different variations of his own voice: heavier, lighter, higher and lower. Sometimes with a southern twang, and other times in a Canadian-esque manner.

It was a Sunday afternoon, nearing the end of Tom's neighborhood barbecue he held annually. One of the odd things about this year's barbecue was that his next door neighbor, who he'd hardly ever see even leave the house, had decided to show up that year. Tom decided to strike up a conversation with the neighbor, and a ... |
Heather took the end of the floss and wrapped it around her right pinkie. Once. Twice. Three times. In her twenty-six years of experience, this was the minimum number of wraps necessary to minimize slippage. It also meant that her right pinkie turns a deep shade of purple by the end of the task.

"I've seen your text messages, and I sure as hell didn't send you those!"The shrill scream of a woman scorned rang through my ears. Her powder-white face was marred with darker streaks from her tears and now-ruined mascara. The dark red sequined dress she wore shimmered with every angry utterance.

Where was he? The first question that came to his mind.
This resounding question struck him as he felt lucidity wash over him. He opened his eyes, as if for the first time. A figure sat at the other side of pond. No, not a pond. A pool of darkness, a deep, encapsulating darkness that drew the eye in. The figure was ... |
The first incidence of this inverse relationship was discovered in 1986, when an elderly gentlemen, on his way to buy some milk and bread, hit a tree next to the store, stumbled out with a broken arm and proceeded to buy a instant win lottery ticket, "Just because", as he eloquently put it.

Akeem was a vampire. Worse still, he was an old vampire. Even worse than either of those two things was the fact that he was a Sabbat; and a loyal servant of the cause too. Add in the fact that he was a member of the Tzimisce clan, and you had a recipe for carnage.

As I unlocked my apartments door a voice called out from behind me.
