Short Story

She licked her bottom lip and gave her head a shake. She knew she couldn’t just stand back and watch from afar and hope everything was going to turn out okay. No, she need to do something, something to help. “You know I’m with you Ryder, you don’t even have to ask. Though, I feel as if I could be of better use here in town.” She stated honestly. Uncrossing her arms she placed them on her hips. “I can make ammo as well as bombs here in town,” her head tilted off to the side, “If we can find the shit I need to make

It hurt Dexter to even move his arms, so once the tea had cooled, Elizabeth raised his head while Mae spooned in the barely tolerable bitter tea into his mouth. Elizabeth explained, “This tea is steeped from a highly prized herb the Ma’camo trade with from the far south to get. We’re lucky to have some.”

Hanz came up behind him and slapped Theo’s ass. The sound bounced off the walls so loud Carly could feel the sting. “I’m going to fuck your ass so hard you’ll be begging for me to stop. But I won’t. I won’t stop until you scream. Then when you scream, I’ll fuck you harder. My dick’s so hard just thinking about that tight virgin ass. You’ve never been with a man before, have you?”

“Just some things I picked up in New Orleans a few years back,” she said and smiled. The smile was not one of amusement or happiness. She set the bag down on the table and unzipped it. When Sam started to reach in, she slapped his hand. “Hands off, buddy. I got this.”

He continues and says, “…we denounce the lawless invasion by armed force of the soil of any State or Territory, no matter under what pretext, as among the gravest of crimes” (Lincoln). Lincoln takes a firm stance against any form of invasion. Obviously trying to prevent war, Lincoln denounces any form of invasion, regardless of the crimes committed. Despite his best efforts, history tells us that the speech failed at preventing the South from seceding and the civil war from beginning. However, that does not fall on Lincoln and his speech.

“Lincoln, did you know you're wife was having an affair?” asked the police officer, already knowing the

“You thought you had it all figured out didn’t you? You memorized every tunnel running through the house, had perfect timing and made everyone believe you were innocent. There was only one flaw, she fought back, and you panicked. Then you left a messy crime scene with your blood all over it. And we found it.”

She aimed and fired, shooting him in the forehead, his head falling back with blood flying every which way. She stared down at the body she created. Somehow, in her head

sometimes, if I see an especially sensitive-looking fighter, I’ll bet against him ‘cus I can’t stand the idea of missing the chance to spot a crier before he’s cried. I don’t know how much sense that makes, by when I explained my reasoning to Ed, he said that it was ten-times better to bet with your heart and lose, than to bet with your mind and win. Even though Ed pretends to be this grumpy, grisly guy, sometimes he can be cheesy like that.

“Cody! I need you to listen!” He whispered violently. “Go upstairs to the bathroom and lock the door.” His mind was racing and he wasn’t even sure he was giving the right instructions. “Get in the bathtub, close the curtains, and be as quiet as possible.”

“  Because last week Lincoln bombarded me with airsoft guns and I want to get him back for that” James respond

bumping his knees into the back of couch, jason avoids answering his friend’s question before he shifts his gaze from his face and insetad towards the television and its frozen image. once recognising the tolkian shapes and hues of it, jason looks back at andrew once again, hands still tied to his back when he finds words to speak, “... I made you this.” carefully fiddling with the mask he’s hiding, jason slowly rounds it beside his waist and lifts it up just high enough for his friend to see it as he continues, “ And I thought that maybe I could buy you one of those root beer floats from that diner we went

Fang rubbed his chin. “And the queen allowed this? I thought the doctor had helped her and from what I hear, Bethany too.”

Shelby nodded and tried her best to sound contrite. “I know I did, Chief, but I also knew that if you could get out of your comfort zone just a little, you would be able to feast on the fat Germans. Yes, Chief, I told you a white lie, but I only did it for your
