A flicker of river-green, bright and unguarded, before the glasses slide back down.

Currently a balmy 14 degrees, under threat from a cold air mass moving across the Noscorrentes Sea.

There is a difference -- you brush against it, but all too light, too quick.

This is bullshit.

Your heart hollows. Just a thumping muscle where the feeling should be.

Find the best rack tat.

Darkness in his eyes. Inviting.

No one is suggesting that he's watching you through the TV screen, that's ridiculous. The raised hairs along your arm must have some other, more mundane cause.

She touches a hand to the wounds on her chest.

It's not climbing fast, but it is climbing.

Warm cottage cheese dragged through battery acid.
