It was difficult to survive without self-preservation, and I believed all things were fair in love and war. I don’t know what drive men like Ezra and me, Marco to do the things we do.

It was a gloomy day in the Upper East Side. The traffic was minimal, as the sky filled up with gray clouds; it looked like it was going to rain. The wind brought an eerie chill towards the direction of two men who could be spotted in the distance, walking down the sidewalk.
“Marco, I love the beautiful Mona. I cannot believe she slipped away. How could she have chosen such a man, when I love her,” confessed Rodrigo.
“Spencer, he is not a fit man for the position he holds. And for god’s sake he has chosen Chuck for the new position.

If Mona’s brother, Ben knew that his beloved sister was sleeping around with another while he sat undisturbed by this news, he’d have a heart
The day was chill and somber. Overhead was a gray expanse of cloud, slightly stirred, however, by a breeze; so that a gleam of flickering sunshine might now and then be seen a its solitary play along the path (159).
The two men lay in the snow, listening to the branches creak in the forest. Silence. A crow cawed in the distance, interrupting the calm only for a second.

Little shimmers and sparkles caught their eyes as if to tell them to enjoy their last moments in this world. Frost glittered in the slivery moonlight, cascading upon them through an opening in the dense canopy
Imagine, if you will, a brisk night wind coming fast across a lake carrying a pungent smell, something you can’t quite identify, but is nonetheless familiar enough to send a shiver up your spine. As it hits the trees, they creak out a somber call in the still night air. Or was that groan something more…human? You notice, for the first time, the absence of tires humming on pavement and you wonder if it’s that late, or maybe just a slow night. The soft tapping of your shoes on the sidewalk is the only accompaniment your slow breathing has as you move towards the warmth of your home, holding thoughts of a warm bed in the palm of your hand to keep the chill away. You don’t notice at first, perhaps because the reality of what you’re hearing is

‘’Oh, God,’’ he shouted, putting a hand to his chest. ‘’What the hell was that?’’ He glanced out of the window. The sky was eerily dark; darker than it usually had been. It sent a shiver up his spine, almost. He about jumped out of his skin when the base’s weather radio went off.
The evening was ominous and gray. The cold wind blew softly, and carried a heavy scent of blood through the streets. A loud intense screech pierced the ears of its listener, leaving the body trembling in fear.

Gray, nimbostratus clouds blanketed the L.A. skyline, the promise of rain becoming more of a threat with each passing hour. However, the bleak, November day suited Tom’s pensive mood, the impending storm mirroring the tumultuous thoughts brewing within his mind. After countless cups of coffee and only three hours’ sleep, he was on edge, caught in a web of his own making.

But despite his apprehension, he knew he needed to face his demons, and a gloomy

While he was talking he would go on short tangents and not stay to the point, but she liked that about him. The more he spoke and the more she listened, she began to speculate about who he really was. At this point they had told each other most of their life stories. They still both had no idea what the other’s name was or where they went to school or how they acted around their school friends. The anonymity was comforting, but at this point Frankie was feeling a strong connection to this boy and started to worry that she may never see him again after
