William answered, then pulled out his wallet from his crossbody bag. Outside the inn's entrance, strong gale-force winds blew, mixing with snowflakes that sent objects flying. Emmy, seeing the frightening scene, felt scared. The storm was worse than the ones they'd experienced in Rotterdam and Berlin. "Brother, are we safe in here?" Emmy asked, clinging to her sugar daddy's muscular arm like a koala. The man chuckled as he glanced at the inn's entrance. The storm was a bit terrifying. Still, he put his arm around Emmy protectively. "I'm here with you—just hug me if you're scared!" he said.

We will be in the layer after that. He closed the journal. Outside, the December wind moved through the bare trees. The building continued. The building would always continue. The inside account kept both of them. ---

Didn't you give Harper the peach spritzer first? Todd never responded. A few minutes later, the group chat was disbanded. ... A colleague called me back for a nap. I agreed, switching off my phone. On my way back to the office, the wind began to pick up. While waiting at a red light, I suddenly remembered our graduation day, when a fierce gust of wind had blown my cap clean off. Todd had chased it down and gently placed it back on my head. "That moment was stunning," he had said, his eyes filled with warmth. "When we take our wedding photos in the future, we'll swap the cap for a veil. When it flutters in the wind, you'll look beautiful."

“Not like that, but it doesn’t make me hate him any less. It was always about Jimmy, always concerned for himself. His path in the world was the most righteous, his greediness and how others saw him. It was never about his wife or child. I haven’t seen them since the day I left. I lived in Southern Africa from eleven to sixteen years of age. When we went back to Idaho for a six-month stint, I ran away to Utah, completing my last year of school while working nights. My father runs a growing cult. That’s the only way to describe that community of brainwashed zombies. I’d rather die than give that power back to Jimmy. My father now runs five global locations, so I guess he’s doing well for hims

"We need to get moving. The rain is picking up again, and we don't want to be stuck outside if it gets much worse." Camden followed behind Clayton as he led the way back to the cabin. The rain continued to pour, drenching them both as they trudged through the muddy forest. The wind howled through the trees, adding an eerie soundtrack to their journey. Camden's steps were slow and unsteady, her body in a state of shock after the ordeal. After what felt like an eternity, they reached the cabin. By then, the wind had picked up, and both of them were shivering from the cold. Clayton wasted no time; he wrapped a thick blanket around Camden the moment she walked through the door, shielding her fro

Elizabeth The night grew thicker around me as I made my way back home. There was no living chorus to soften the night, only the wind moving through the trees, and the brittle sound of my boots biting into the shallow snow. I had done this so many times, the streets knew me, the roads marked me, the dark anticipated us. And every step I took served to remind me of the reason we had to be in the dark. Every trip on this lonely road, every time I climbed down my bedroom window, it pricked me like sharp ice at my side. It was the wrong way to the right thing. And there was no other option.

he said in a mocking, disdainful tone. I lowered my head and picked up the scarf. That night, Sean suddenly grabbed it from the couch and hurried out in his wheelchair. I thought that he had just lied about not liking it. Worried that he might catch a cold, I quietly followed him. However, I saw him give the scarf to Josie, who was waiting outside. “Josie, this scarf is for you. You don’t need to buy clothes for the stray dogs anymore. Wendy’s scarf is warm. You can lay it on their bed.”

Until finally, she heard him speak: “You should’ve just slept with the devil, Rosenda Marie.” She gave a sad smile while keeping her gaze on the view outside the car window, watching the tall buildings and the airport in the distance. They were already on the skyway and she could see everything from above—including the clear sky... which was the exact opposite of how she felt at that moment. A storm seemed to be brewing in her chest, one she couldn’t explain. She took a deep breath. Once she got home, she would tell her sister, Ate Connie, about her condition—she knew it would hurt her, but if there was anyone in the family she could confide in, it was her sister.

First came the wind. The wind howled like a thing alive. Even though I was anything but cold in late May in Arizona, the sound of that howling wind chilled me and made me think of winter storms of the coldest winters and most frigid places I had ever lived in my life. I remembered when I was a kid, my parents had moved to South Dakota, just twenty miles south of the border with North Dakota, for a year because of my dad’s job. That year, of all years by chance, had been a record-breaking coldest winter South Dakota had had for the previous one hundred eighty years. That had been cold. Although it wasn’t cold, the wind howled like the winds of one of those South Dakota storms. It didn’t chill

The wind off the canal cut her face, but it wasn’t the kind of cold that ever stopped Carolina. She and Xander crossed the frozen slab of street together, boots making that frozen-hollow knock that sounded at once so present and so far away.

The city was always a palimpsest, one ruined past scribbled over another.
