Dragon Blood
There weren’t always dragons in the valley…at least not until I brought them here. The sun was coming up between the mountains, while a rolling mist danced on top of the lake. The two moons were still visible far off in the distance and the air was cool. The purple sky was always eye-catching in the early hours. The dragons were stretching their wings as they woke. Water sprayed from the backs of some of the ones that were bathing as they shook it off; causing fights among the young ones, who didn’t seem to approve of cold morning baths. The purple sky would fade into a pale orange in about an hour. That’s about the time they would take to the skies to find food and bring it back to the nests. They would return with small living creatures for the whelps, to help teach them the hunt. It was an amazing thing to watch, from a distance of course. You didn’t want to become their breakfast.

The Train Ride Home
After a wonderful day spent together on the grass, under a big tree by the Space Needle, we decided to head home. We found our way to the monorail and took it to the connecting link rail train. We walked to the platform that would take us to our station, where my truck was parked.

The Spa
I got out of my car and my eyes were met with an amazing view of the night sky. As I stood there looking up, my mind was taken for a ride through space without trepidation. Each star brushed my soul as I was guided through a sea of sparkling gems. They hung in the darkness, like beads of shiny rain drops, clinging to a spider’s web. There were no direct pathways, no rules, no plans, just a feeling of eternal peace. I was momentarily lost.

My Favorite Redhead
YOU opened the door, and we were met with your beautiful smile. We stepped inside and walked into the kitchen, where I put my stuff down on a chair, then turned to you. There was a warmth that started building inside of me, my breath was trying to push a hundred-pound weight up through my chest. I felt, if I didn’t do something right now, I never would.

A Trip To Space
In the early afternoon, I couldn’t take the mundane world any more. As I looked out my window, upside down, while hanging over the side of the bed on my back; Clouds were passing pretty quickly, and it seemed as though they were parting the skies for me.

Tara And Wren
She had been stood up too many times before, so she told herself that she wouldn’t do it again. Blind dates were the worst. Yet here she sat at the bar with an amaretto sour in her hand. It had been awhile since she’d gotten out, and it was obvious by her choice of “blend into the crowd” attire. It was a new place and new faces, but similar décor as all the other gay bars out there. They had rainbow streamers over the bar, rainbow colored lights spiraled up and down the pillars, rainbow napkins and the like. All sprinkled over the same old faded oak and dark paneled walls. The bar stools were newer, with red vinyl tops. At least they were comfortable. She thought. She looked at her phone, it was ten to eight. She should be here in about ten minutes. She was nervous, she hadn’t been on a date for some time for good reason. She felt awkward and a little bit rusty. She kept checking herself over, wondering if she underdressed for the occasion. She ordered another drink as the bartender passed by again. The crowd started picking up and so did her nerves. She glanced at the time again, two minutes past eight. She looked around the room for a woman with red hair about mid-way down her back. She had told her she’d be wearing a denim jacket.
