True Vine
It was mid-day, the mob was angry for some reason. He had just got off the plan and was touring the town. Homeless Man they were hollering at him. He was stunned by what all he saw. He made a quick escape. You could see through the city all the people tucked up in bridges, under bridges, on the street corners, and in parking garages. He went into the gas station and got the soda from the app. Out of nowhere he could hear him. He was surrounded. The police had him by surprise. Tasers pointed at him, he through his hands up. Scared by what he saw.

Snow White and the Prince's "Accidental" Death
In the dining hall, silence consumed everyone’s breath before a resonating yell broke the spell. “You did what?” “Well, I didn’t mean to!”

Once upon a time, two master developers came together and signed a joint venture (JV) for a beautiful plot of land. It was a flat and barren land void of hills, forests, and squatters.
Tomorrow Never Knows, part two
Fergus decided it was a good day to try something new. Neala had previously shared her banana bread recipe with him. He presumed it was all part of a “give a man a fish and feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and feed him for a lifetime” strategy on her part. Perhaps she was fed up of sharing her food with him, he reasoned, so he decided to give it a go. “How hard could it be?”, he reckoned.

Tomorrow Never Knows
Neala Fitzgibbons had sworn she was done with relationships. She’d survived two divorces, raised two kids, outlived two dogs, a hamster, and three goldfish. At age 54, all Neala had to show for it now was a tired-looking face framed with grey hair, crow’s feet around her hazel eyes, a lacklustre credit score, and the invisible scars cleft from travelling her trail of broken dreams.

Penelope grumbled to herself as she scratched out a few more notes. She was still fuming at Daniel, not believing he could do something so heinous. On top of that, he completely shut down when she confronted him about it, which was nothing like the man she knew. Granted, he was known to be shy and awkward at times, and she had been quite forceful in her scolding. Penelope paused a moment, wondering if he behaved that way because she had been too hard on him. Try as she might, her temper often did have a way of getting the better of her at the worst of times. She thought back to the look on his face: he seemed embarrassed when she confronted him, remorseful even, and like he wished to say something but couldn't. "Perhaps it had just been a misunderstanding," she mused, feeling a pang of regret at remembering how shocked and miserable he looked when she'd slapped him.

WAYNE’S SUPER HEINZ Liam picks up Wayne at 10pm, the only lit up house in the short, dark terrace on the edge of the sleepy town.

Even though everyone knows everyone else’s business in Portumna, and there had been every explanation on earth from a golfer tourist to the son of Finn Bheara himself, no-one really knows the truth of who Wayne’s father is.

Unfamiliar Familiars
Chapter One I’m sorry to break this to you but let me be frank. Magic isn’t real, at least not in the sense that you are thinking. Humanity has romanticized the idea of magic to the point that if you mention the words wizard, witch, warlock, or any number of other words that start with W, an image of a grizzled old man chanting and saving short people comes to mind. That just isn’t how the world works. My name is Alexander Keep and I’m the closest thing to a magic expert you are likely to find this side of mortality. I run a pet shelter.
