The Lies We Tell
Many people ask why I didn't notice the signs at first. Because, to me, there were no signs. Instead, they were validation, reasons to continue on. What do I know? I am sitting here, waiting to see him. Again. I was dressed in a fashionable yet appropriate pants suit. I had to borrow it from my friend. I would never have anything this nice. I should definitely invest. My mind always wanders when I'm under stress. I waited to see him; he should walk into the room anytime. The room. The courtroom. I was in the courtroom, awaiting the trial of my husband. Or do I refer to him as my ex-husband now? I shuddered at the thought. There is no way that there is actually a trial for my husband. Or ex-husband. The same man I had been married to for seven years. This couldn't actually be happening. The judge banged his gavel as my mind continued on my pity party.

A Knight at the Inn (2/3)
A/N: This three-part story is inspired by an old Vocal prompt where writers were asked to select 3 words from a word search to include within a piece. I decided to challenge myself further with 10 random words from an online generator and include them within a fictional story. There are as follows: Exile Stomach Panel Owner Institution Rider Remark Draw Summit Ambition When they appear - they are highlighted in bold. Enjoy!

Supertramp
“Take the long way home… Take the long way home…” K. was not really listening when they ended the class for the day. The walkman he got for his birthday was in his bag and he was smart enough not to let anyone else know about it until late in the day. The thing about it was he made sure that he put the tape in first before he came to school. They would have asked about it if they saw it (no one else liked that group). He let the orange earphones dangle near his ears from the hook on the shared clothes rack.

"I am Lysandra." suddenly the voice, that mysterious person and that feeling disappeared. Emily blinked, trying to make sense of her surroundings. The last thing she remembered was falling asleep in her bed. But now, she found herself in a dimly lit dark room there was only one candle and that one was flickering, the air was heavy and there was pin-drop silence.

Save One Bullet
The mirror showed a reflection that wasn't my own. The anger boiling out of my heart had frozen my face into a stone mask of fury and indignation. 'Who did he think he was?' I raged internally. 'He was not going to get away with this.'

Voyage of the Chevalier: Chapter 1 - A Nefarious Patron
The harbor of New Colverelle is a noisy place, by all consideration. Waves crash against the sea cliffs, roosting seagulls shout their cacophonies, and the unmistakable sound of steam and cog hiss and squeal as cargo is loaded and unloaded from myriad ships bound for the Serene Republic and her many colonies. Despite the unpleasant industrial sounds and smells, there was a bleak beauty about this particular day as the morning sun began its ascent over the horizon. The few resolute tropical plants clinging to life in this mechanized marvel drank the light greedily as the first whisps of black smoke escaped from their chimneys. Work starts early in the harbor, as Duncan Fourchette and his crew knew well.
