Last Piece
All I could do was stare at it. I wanted to put it in my mouth, letting it melt and sweet, creamy goodness slide into my aching throat oh, and of course eventually into my stomach. When I was little, my body was too sensitive to the chemicals of throat lozenges, and I couldn’t take much in the way of cough syrup without terrible side effects. Almost all medicine caused me problems, until one of my remedies was to use small, chocolate candies that melted and slid down my throat, easing the ache and raw edges of any cold or flu.

Guardian Angel
Nicki sat very still on the floor of the barn, flicking a piece of hay between her fingers, and watching intently as the cat circled and paced. The cat would stop at different moments, and then begin her pacing again, covering what seemed like a huge expanse on the wooden floor where the hay was not taking up space. At times, she pawed at straw, and tried to hide, but Nicki would call her name softly so that she appeared, stretching and clawing at the ground as if to be casual, but it was so very clearly not a casual moment.

Cracked Heart
He closed his fist around the cold metal, the imprint of the heart shape driving into his hardened hands, the chain shivering over his closed fingers as he kept his eyes shut tight. He was not sure if this time he was going to make it out. Every other time, the sounds of the bullets whirring past his ears had almost seemed too playful and part of the game of staying alive.

The Dark Shroud
Her legs had always been so thin. Lorelei wasn’t sure why of all the things to think about at this moment, she would focus on something so vain. Although, she was grateful they were so spare as she hid behind the desk, her arms wrapped tightly around the thin stems that had served her well in her short life. Still, it was possible they could have been filled out just a little more with a curve of the calve and the roundness of the thigh.
