Prologue Time had caught up to him. He thought he would be ready, thought by cherishing every tick of the cloak that when death came for him he was would be ready. But death was biting at his heels when he stood, draping over his shoulders when bent over his work table, and coating is every inhalation of air. He was afraid.

She discusses the romanticism through the looking glass, and the realism through

brown skirt walks by in her Bakers twirling on the Boulevard of the park. No bear of the world on her shoulders. She is the proper woman of dreams and beckons me to run away with her. She says our life would be that of the nuclear family living in a bright two story yellow house. Green shutters. Pink curtains. White picket fence. A tire swing hanging from the front yard tree.

I just can’t! “Alright, alright, you don’t have to be snappy about it.” The old hacker immediately begins typing away on the keyboard, his eyes flicking from one bright screen to the next. I wait patiently as the man works away, but as seconds turn into minutes and those minutes turn into almost an hour, I start to worry. What if this demon, Daemn isn’t in the system? What if he’s just some rogue demon who just

It was a beautiful bright day in the town of Integrum Infernum five miles north of a mysterious cavern called Norak. Everyone lived happily in the town except for an orphan named Ellis. No one understood why she was so unhappy, but then again she was the only orphan in the town so no one could understand how she felt.

The heat of her body radiated, and he breathed deeply, letting his lungs fill with the honey musk of her sweet skin. His eyes sought more and slipped away unnoticed, meandering up her arm, and comfortably lounging on her chest. The shy angel-soft skin of her plump cleavage peeked in and out from the top of her blouse with each stroke she drew, begging to escape its imprisonment.

"Distracted by his charm, his wit, his intelligence, and - yes - his murderer's fancy prose style, we may momentarily forget that he is indeed the monster he says he is" (Rivers and Nicol 153).        In his "On a Book Entitled Lolita", Vladimir Nabokov recalls that he felt the "first little throb of Lolita" run through him as he read a newspaper article about an ape who, "after months of coaxing by a scientist, produced the first drawing ever charcoaled by an animal: this sketch
