Blooming Point Beach Pei Novels & Stories

It was famous for the massive amount of plum blossoms that blossomed here, but it was not the season for them to bloom yet, hence, no plum blossoms could be seen, only bare trees. After arriving at the destination, a receptionist brought them to a pavilion.

GINGER "It's so nice having you back!" Paige remarked. The weather was beautiful on Paige's day off from warrior duty, so she brought me along with her and Jasmine to ride the Newport to Beebe bike path, which was about an hour from the pack. They were both a lot more fit than me, but they didn't ride too fast so I could keep up with them.

It was a single line of stark white text on a pitch – black background. LIQUIDATION INCOMPLETE. PHASE FOUR INITIATED. Attached to the text was a low – resolution, grainy photograph. I watched the blood drain from Lolita’s beautiful face. The photo was taken from far away. It looked right through the wet windows of the Dorchester gala from last night. It was a picture of us standing on the terrace. I was holding her, entirely captivated, completely unaware we were being hunted.

Susan said, taking a deep breath of the ocean air. "Is this place as stuffy as Grand Cayman with the no nudity laws?" Krista asked. "I'm afraid that it is," the bellhop replied, "but if you really want to be topless or whatever on the beach, you can go to Spot Bay on the northeast corner of the island, after the end of road. There's a really nice beach there, Long Beach, and everyone knows that it's a nude beach at the far end where the bluffs begin, but nobody bothers about it because nobody causes any trouble. Now, there are gangs of local young men that hang out there hoping to meet a tourist who might be looking for a bit of excitement, so if you go there, don't be surprised if you're ap

My name is Dr. Mara Kane. I came to the isolated coastal town of Eldridge Bay as a skeptic. The locals called it “The Bloom”—a seven-year cycle where glowing sea creatures rose from the deep, releasing spores that supposedly drove everyone wild with lust. I laughed at the stories. Mass hysteria mixed with natural aphrodisiacs from algae, I thought. I planned to study it, collect samples, and publish a paper that would make my career.
