Merlot is a girls best friend!
It wasn’t a date. At least not to Gaylor. But so it seemed to be imagined by a burly bear-like creature blocking her crossing of borders from one side of town, to another. An unavoidable falling domino on a dark trail through undetected pungency of a packs' marked stamping ground.

Story Prompts: #2
Prompt: No windows, no doors, not a single crack in the wall as far as I could tell. I had woken in this white room minutes or hours before -time seemed to have stalled- and hadn’t heard a sound. If this was a dream, it wasn’t like any dream I’d had before. No, this was very real. All at once. . .

Looks that Kill
The moment Kyle laid eyes on her, he knew she was the one. Her lithe form was silhouetted against the starlit sky, and her auburn hair seemed to burn with the intensity of an ember. She was seated on a blanket spread across the grass in the quiet stillness of the park.

Unfinished Business
“POLICE OPEN UP!” The banging grew louder and I could hear the wood on the door begin to crack. He finished gathering his belongings and quickly ran over to me grabbing my throat and whispered in my ear “This could have been over. You could have been at peace.” His grip on my throat began to tighten. The knife was still buried in my side and it left me weak but still, I tried to pry at his hands. “Please,” I begged horsley“ Shut up! This all could have been over but that stupid neighbor of yours. And please believe I would love to stay and finish our little game but I would rather take my time. I hate being rushed. Until next time my love.” I began to see spots and I finally felt my consciousness slip.

Red On The Chessboard
“You can set it on the...yeah, right there.” Omarr left his satchel to hang on the wall hook, taking even steps away from the front door. He continued into the living room where the voice originated. A familiar face met him immediately with lips soon plastered into a warm grin.

Blood and Wine
Except for the faint tinge of iron in the air, one could be forgiven for believing the large burgundy puddle on the ground was from a broken barrel of wine. Without the presence of a body, it truly did appear as if there had been a mishap in the wine cellar. Deidre smiled to herself, lifting the glass of merlot to her lips and taking a slow sip.

Wine, Passion, and Deceit
When I close my eyes, that fateful night replays vividly in my mind. I'll never forget how he caressed the small of my back as he led me to and from the car. The way his step matched perfectly with mine. The way he held the door open like a true old-fashioned gentleman. Mike was such a gentleman, and he was cute too. Blind dates aren’t always cute, but I remember thinking that this night was going to be one of the first of many.

The Date
June looked at herself in the mirror and felt nervous. But on this occasion, it was the good nervous. She was getting ready for her first date with Paul, a man she'd met online on one of those new fangled dating apps all her friends raved about, something she never would have dreamed about doing in the past. But this wasn't the past, this was now. June was a different person now, in so many ways.
