Buzzing
In the middle of REM sleep, the fish started buzzing. It was my phone alarm, beeping incessantly as it tore me away from the neon lights of the aquarium glass. It was always hot in my dreams, with humid air from jungle canopies blowing over warm ocean. In these nightly escapades, I was a fish with bleak scales. At the end of the dream, I was always eaten by some ferocious whale with rounded teeth.

Blueberry Tea for Burglars
“One last chance, loser,” was my parole officer’s first words to me after the parole board let me out. “This time, you either get a job and stop pickpocketing, breaking and entering, burglarizing, mugging, robbing, taking from people and whatever else it is that you do, or its life in here for you,” My parole officer sneered. The idiot didn’t know that I already knew about three strikes. What does he think I am, a moron?

A dilapidated jailbar
A call from the courthouse usually means more work for me. Often it means there’s a problem with one of my arrests that requires urgent paperwork. This time I was asked to come down because someone was at the Clerk of the Court and they wanted to see me. My shoes on the courthouse marble floors echoed and the man at the counter turned around. I found myself standing face to face with Tim Henderson. It had been 14 years since I’d seen him last, and although he had aged, I recognized him immediately. We had met twice before, the first was 2002, I was two years on the force, he was 18 year’s old and had just crashed a stolen car when I gave him a very short chase and crash tackled him. We wrestled for a bit as I tried to cuff him until I felt a sharp pain in my chest, I started to find it hard to breath and realized that he had stabbed me. I spent three weeks in hospital recovering from a collapsed lung.

A Desperate Plea
My life is very different from other peoples. I do not generally need to ask others what their profession is, it is part of my skill set to be able to figure out everything about them without them knowing. And by them, I am of course referring to my targets, mostly middle aged men who think that they have all the power in the world. Their ego takes up so much of their mind that they cannot possibly think that the women in front of him is going to kill them. And that is my endgame at the end of this lame dinner.

The Lost British Liar vs A Mouthy Molly
Rudy was now coming back inside from his cigarette break, walking over to join Tim, Sandra, and me at the end of the bar. “I think that woman out there is something strong.” Rudy said, pointing out toward the figure of a woman standing outside the window to the bar. “She randomly came running around the corner, so at first I wasn’t sure if she needed help, but then she started acting even weirder and kicking at stuff while making weird mumbles.”

arm-chair at a table near the fire, was his lordship,
whose robe, trimmed with beautiful gold lace, was thrown upon another chair. He gave us a searching look as we entered, but his manner was both courtly and kind.
