And like that, we were in front of my quarters at the east end of the long walkway. “Let’s get in,” he said. “Wow, a huge flat screen television, and is that a game console?” he asked, with a hint of excitement. “Yeah, it is a Playbox series R pro infinity edition” “What the heck is that!? What type of naming sense is that?” he replied, laughing hysterically. “Okay now, let’s get to class”. Then he said; “System, take us to the realm of infinity.”

Pointing at it, “No, this green dome-shaped around the book.” They looked puzzled. Shaking their heads. “No, we only see a book in front of you.” “Maybe you’re the only one who could see it since you touched it?”, Leah suggested. “Or maybe it’s another power of yours?”, she reckoned. I hummed, looking back at the book. I raised my hands and stared at them for a good few seconds before deciding to place them on the surface of the small green dome around the book. I probably look stupid in front of the two as they don’t see the green-dome shaped around the book. It may look like I’m hovering my hands above like I’m about to cast some sort of spell.

The sight of her blood-soaked skin made my stomach churn. Fresh blood continued to ooze from her skin. My chest felt heavy, experiencing an unexplainable pain that seemed to threaten to split it open. Godmother reached for a jar filled with a thick, green ointment, her hands steady despite the trembling in her voice. Her gaze met mine. "I've been doing what I can to stop the bleeding, but her injuries are severe. You'd not want her to bleed out to death. She's your mate after all.” She said, her voice laced with a hint of anger. She placed the ointment jar on the vanity and went out, closing the door behind her.

It was nearly empty, save for a few scattered tables, their metal legs rusted at the joints. Large sheets of paper, yellowed at the edges and curling from the moisture in the air, lay sprawled across the surfaces, marked with lines, symbols, and notes detailing plans for the mission ahead. Beneath our feet, the floor was wet in places, holding shallow pools of water. The dampness clung to our boots, seeping into the soles, making the ground feel colder than it should have been.

My eyes catch on a symbol projected from one of the tomes onto the whiteboard. My spine snaps straight, and my mouth drops open, my ears straining with effort to catch up with what Mr. Barnes is saying. “…of the darkest kind. This tome is a high commodity in necromancy due to its untapped power. One of the reasons it has been banned from being accessed.” Silence falls, and Mr. Barnes’s gaze falls on the back of the class. He releases a long sigh. “Yes, Mr. Crowe?” “So, for what other reason has the Tome of Death been banned?” Luca quips.

Abigail groaned and turned away, muttering something about idiots and early funerals. Tunde patted the small shard hidden inside his vest pocket. It was jagged, faintly warm to the touch. Most Adrium had to be mined raw and refined before it was stable. But this piece—this one glowed faintly, like it had already been through the forge. Maybe it was worth something. Maybe enough. ……………………………… Tunde pushed open the tin door of their shack just as the last of the sunlight died. Inside, the shadows felt thicker than usual. A single candle flickered in a cracked jar. His mother lay still, her breathing labored, lips dry.

One thing I hate about my job is the amount of dicks you get to see... like dick here dick there. The worst part? Is if you're assigned permanently to the andropause section. As a healthy straight, single woman who doesn't have constant sex, it's pure hell. You get to see thick veiny big erect sausages that you have to touch. And not touch in the way you'd want to. Honestly I didn't know the prostate section was gonna be pure temptation. It paid higher which was why I took it but now I'm beginning to regret it.

0f course, he did. I give Julien a weakened smile and we exchange a few sentences of small talk before I thank him for driving ways here. Waving goodbye from the window as he slips into his car again, I pretend not to rush to the unknown contents that hide inside the white-encased box. There are cursive letters in black, engraved into the cardboard material, reading Matériau Féminin. Gnawing on the skin of my lip, all I do is shake mny head at a parallel memory that comes into mind when we spent time together in this very store, replacing the various lingerie of mine that he has ripped.

Ellie clutched a sodden map, her knuckles white. “Brazil. Scotland. Japan. Egypt. Rome,” she muttered, scanning Voss’s scribbled notes. “They’re waking up everywhere. All at once.” Dr. Voss tightened the ropes of the sail. Her face was pale but determined. “The Chimera was never singular. It was a herald. And heralds are never alone.” Cerebus stood at the bow, fur plastered by rain, three heads scanning the darkness. Alpha was still. Beta watched the horizon. Gamma growled at the storm.
