A Time for Strength
As my blade pierces the base of his neck, the silver sizzles against his skin. His cold blue eyes open wide. The grim reality of his situation sets in. He gulps hard and shakes his head in fear.
"I repent." He squeaks like the coward he is. "Forgive my crimes. Let me face the Council."
"You'll find no mercy here, Sin." Blood gushes down his bare chest freely.
"You will be judged by the Goddess." His expression quickly changes to one of anger, exposing his ruse.
"I see you in the Palace of the Goddess, I will kill you again." I growl. "And if she casts me out, I will meet you on the edge of the River Styx and kill you in Purgatory over and over until the Ferryman come to collect us. And if Hades allows, I will continue to kill you in the Underworld until the end of time."
"I underestimated you." He chokes.
"Everyone does." I whisper as I lay my full weight against the pommel.
The Intern's Latin Dance
Gummy
Sandra Kinsey's dance studio was where she buried her passion.
It was also our secret place. No one else was allowed in. No one but me.
Until one day, her assistant barged in, using a love for Latin dance as an excuse, and danced with her intimately.
Sandra didn't push him away.
That was the moment I knew—you can't make someone stay when their heart has already left.
I stripped her of her authority, took over the company myself, and gave Sandra all the freedom she could ever ask for.
But later, eyes red and voice trembling, she looked at me and demanded to know why.
I sat on the couch and glanced at her with indifference.
"Freedom," I said, "always comes at a price. Doesn't it?"
