Rendezvous Novels & Stories

At school, I had a nickname. They called me "Mister Wait-Your-Turn." I waited for the sneakers my brother had grown tired of, the backpack my sister thought was ugly, and the phones my parents had already cracked the screens of. Even when it came to taking a shower, I had to wait until everyone else was done. A week ago, Mom had promised me, "On the day of your college entrance exam, you won't have to wait your turn for the shower." So when I finally stumbled into the bathroom, drenched in sweat and smelling awful, I thought my turn had finally come. I was halfway through working up a lather when someone started pounding on the door. "Come out. Let your brother go in." My eyes stung,

"Just in case there's a negative effect to this. Only one of us should go. I'm the lowest risk option." "No," I reaffirm, "We'll do it together." I open the door and grab his hand. "Where should we go to test it out?" "Uh 2015, here." He nods, "Before we existed." He types in 2015 and Maryland, then those lights flash again, and I hold onto his arm tighter. The light is blinding, and within seconds we zap out. I open my eyes and we're still in the shower. "What? It didn't work?," I ask disappointedly.

I finish the spell before falling into a peaceful night of sleep. The next morning I hear knocking at the front door looking at my phone for the time "9:00 am...... Shit !" I said jumping up from my bed putting on my shorts before running down the stairs to the door. Opening the door to see a man that's looking to be mids 50's and 6'0 ft tall with salt and pepper hair cut short " Hi I'm John your uncle Benny call me yesterday about an electric problem " he said, after showing him where the fuse box as I ran upstairs to shower and change to meet my aunt at a coffee shop in the town center. Changing into a white shirt, faded jeans, and worn-out chucks Taylors I went to see John tell him I leav

To anyone else, it would appear to be a sign of affection, but Jade knew differently; he was warning his date to keep up appearances. A nearby waiter intruded into their friendly conversation. Even if Jade weren't able to hear him, she could distinguish, just by the hand gestures, that he was urging them to move out of the aisle. They quickly wrapped up their discussion, strolled across the room, and then settled for open seating at a nearby table. They were now directly in her line of sight. Her heart pounded beneath her blouse as she awaited the confrontation, expecting them to glance up at any given moment. It was beating so loud; she thought surely if the room suddenly fell silent, every

I eat, sleep, wake up, and shower while paying attention to my surroundings. I had thought of calling my siblings and friends to tell them about the good news, but I had no proof, not even a single selfie with David. The next day, I had walked outside of my apartment, stood in the same position where David stood while waving back at me. The probability that David would come back to see me was 0.0%, but still I hoped he would pass by. I suddenly wondered what he was doing in my neighborhood, wasn't it too much of a cliché? I pondered out loud. "Could it be that he lived in my area? No way!" I gasped. The moment I suddenly turned back to go into my apartment, there he was, the man of my dreams

He was thrilled to stand at the door, to have the wind slap through his hair and clothes while feasting on the sights outside. Soon, the train slowed down and came to a stop. Dev looked around. They were parked at some desolate place with nothing but tall grass around. He glanced at his watch. Three minutes had passed. “Are we at a station or something?” he asked the balding man. “Not really,” he answered. “There’s a crossing here. The express train is due any minute.” He paused to listen. “Talk about the devil. Here it comes.” A BLARE closed in fast and SLAPPED past.

Robbie got up, and he went on with his story, "I went to your welfare center only to find out that you left. I hired a detective to search for you, but you had already left the city. I didn't know where to look. Desperate, I ended up even meeting your dad and the pastor from the church you used to visit, but no one knew anything about you. I kept looking, hoping to get some clue about you, and just as fate would have it, you appeared right in front of me when I least expected it! The moment I saw you, I knew that it was not a coincidence. This was fate! You are my destiny!! That's why life gave me another chance to repent for what I did."

I tried talking to this loser but he really is deaf to proper conversation and just says “ my mate will love me no matter what, who is to know if she’s not out there sleeping around as well “ I just stopped trying to knock sense into him after a while. After breakfast I head out to my jeep and put my luggage inside and drive over to the forest to pick up Raven, I open our bond and reach out to her < hey > { hey } < I’m on my way to get you, meet me at the forest, I’m driving a Black Jeep Wrangler > { okay, see you soon } < see you soon baby girl > I close the link and continue on to her.

He said. “Time?” “8:00 pm.” “I'll meet you at 6 pm!” Zenos said, and silently the driver wind-up the car window. Suddenly something flashes in Hayden's brain. “I want more, gimme more!” A faint image began to form in his head, but before he could process it, he felt the person's lips on his. “Wait for me!” Zenos said, pecking his forehead. “Ok”

“We’re going to find out.” --- Geneva — Council Broadcast A final pulse rippled across every screen, gentle but undeniable. Sørensen whispered, “What is this one?” Anya answered with quiet certainty. “It’s not a warning,” she said. “It’s a greeting.” --- Ottawa — The Moment of Alignment The air around Sophia brightened until Raven had to squint.
