Free to Roam
Collin stares out at the sea, transfixed by the transition taking place before him. Half of what he can see is stormy, choppy, and clear of ships, while the other is still bright and various ships crowd the view as they race to shore. Over them, blue skies dotted with wispy clouds beckon safety. One cloud looks like a sailed ship, following the fleet inland. He watches as it passes behind the distant lighthouse, unsurprised as the storm front reaches him with the first wind-born raindrops. His attention turns to the black clouds gathering above him, with lightning flashing miles off and booming thunder drawing near. Beside him, his hosts' horse begins to show signs of distress.

House of Fur
I’ll start off by saying that my boyfriend is the type of guy who, say, finds a bee having a rough day going in circles on the sidewalk while walking the dogs and brings it home to give it some sugar water before seeing it off. Or follows a loose dog for hours trying to coax it near enough so he can help it. Or brings home a cat he found on the street until we can find the owner. So it should come as no surprise that our house is full of furballs.

Museum Musings
“You really don’t mind that our first date is at your workplace?” I ask hesitantly as my date unlocks and opens the doors. His name is Henry. Average in height, he looks presentable in a well-worn suit and is the curator of the local museum, which I suggested be our first date before I knew of his job here. He responds as he indicates that I walk in before him.

Digging the Digs
“To the quarry!” toasts Morgan cheerfully, raising his cup to connect with mine. I try not to let on that I’ve come to like him throughout the day or that his quirky smile makes my heart flutter as I join the toast.

Mutable Earth
Originally, this was supposed to be part of the "In the Stars" challenge, but due to local time, I just missed the cutoff. Always keep an eye on the closing times for challenges, folks! Anyway, I've invested the time for this, so it's going up anyway...

The Caregiver's Routine
Breakfast out with my brother is suddenly interrupted. Either he is not feeling well or he has eaten too much; either way, he is expelling his stomach. In a public restaurant. Again.
