Fox Hunt; Chapter 3
I let my eyes flick about the room. Everything is clean and orderly. The former mayor's widow had done well for herself after her husband's death. Just how she had wound up in such a town was beyond me, yet it was clear she had refused to leave the high life of the big cities behind. I find it hard to picture a person trained to run spending much time here. Finally, the door opens. Before the butler can speak, an older woman, who I presume is Lady Nightingale, brushes past him. Everything about her is prim and polished, yet there's no mistaking the distraught look on her face as her eyes flick between Priamos and me.

A Gift of Ice and Snow; Prologue
The forest is quiet and still as the two fae creep along. The male and female both carry bows, but neither have them strung. The quiet is not a bother to them. When the silence is broken, they share a glance, both moving to ready their bows, prepared for anything that might be coming through the forest towards them. While they were in their territory, it did border human lands.

Rushing Shadows
*chirp* *chirp* *chirp* I open my eyes. I’m flooded with confusion. I reach up to touch my face, groping around for my glasses, but they aren’t there. There is nothing but a blur in front of me. Blurry blobs of colour bleed together.

The Runaway Train
Hello, my name is Dakota. I am so confused! I am hoping you can help me figure out what is going on. It started out being a normal day for me . I got up, went to work, had dinner with my girlfriend Destiny. And then I kicked back and settled down on my couch to enjoy the rest of the evening. Watching my favorite program on TV and I guess I fell asleep. That is when things got weird, and actually weird is not the word for it. Somehow I woke up on this train. I have no idea how I got here or where I am going. I don't even know how long I have been on this train. To make matters worse it seems every time I wake up there are different people on the train, and that is when I am lucky. There have been times I have woken up and I am all by myself on this train. I can not see anyone but I can here foot steps and dishes clattering in the back, but I can not find anyone else on here. So whenever I wake up I am waking up to a completely different situation or I am completely alone.

Ethereal
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say.... I step back from my telescope to take a full glance of the galaxies above. The cold wind gives rise to each hair on my arm, so I decide to zip-up my jacket. I stretch widely, ready to go back inside for sleep and just as I turn, I spot a falling star through the corner of my eye. Where will it land? I take one more look to the stars before I resume, in hope to see another comet, none appear.
