Love
Forgot the name of the story
Tommy couldn't forget Sarah. She had always been so full of life. He called her again He had done some research on Stigma. He knew she didn't want to talk about it. She was happy to hear from him when he called. She told him she was feeling okay. Her doctor had finally stopped calling. He had left her all these stigma meetings from NAMI. Tommy hesitated a little before continuing, He was unsure if he should proceed. "NAMI is an organization of parents of people with mental illness. If your father was alive he would most likely be at these meetings sharing your medical conditions with anybody who attended the meeting. They blame all the family problems on the person with the mental illness. Imagine trying to hold your head up high then. The funny thing is most of these parents who think their childrens' problems should be made public, do not share with anybody about their own mental illness." He changed the topic " But you should not be going through any of this, you do not have a mental illness, if your father had not taken your dreams away none of this would have happened. We would be married, we would have children. We would both be working, You would have dreams. God did not put you on this earth to be glued to the television. Sarah found herself smiling. He cared, he kept calling, and he was being supportive. He might not be delusional she thought. He was learning just like her. How were two average people supposed to understand this medical stuff? For the first time in ages she thought about a future with a man. The man she had previously wanted to marry. She felt a little nervous. She wondered if he was just concerned for her or if he wanted a life with her. She couldn't get herself to ask, but for the first time in a long time, she was hoping. She wondered if she had enough to offer, she had sort of dropped out of life. She hadn't noticed that the conversation had stopped. She was deep in thought. He knew she was deep in thought and dared to ask what she was thinking about. "I guess it was a bad idea," she said "to go to the therapist. They wouldn't even address our initial issue. He was smiling now. "The guy was crazy." Tommy said "he didn't even talk with us. I guess by our appearance he could diagnose us in five minutes. She laughed "Yes, the idea of that is sort of crazy. He was bragging about his diagnosis ability. It took years for me to become me, and he was going to understand what made me tick in five minutes. I just assumed that since he had medical training, I am so sorry I put you through all this" Then she got the surprise of her life." Do you want to go back to our original plans" he asked, She wanted nothing more than to marry him. That had been her dream in the past and that was her dream again. Then he surprises her even more " I want to marry you regardless of your mental health. I can't tell you not to take medication it is your life it is your decision. You were born to live your life. I am just hoping it is with me" She was so sure but she was scared. "I don't look the same, I have gained weight". He laughed " You are still the same person, I fell in love with. I'll think you look gorgeous regardless of your weight." She smiled " Well we have finally answered the question we should ignore my father's dying request. We were born to get married.

Morgana La Fay
Camelot was beautiful, I had to give my brother that. The magnificent city was bordered by a great silver lake with a backdrop of noble mountains ablaze with the colors of autumn. The walls were high and strong, and the farms on the outskirts prosperous. Once inside the gates, the buildings were well kept, pennants and banners bearing Arthur's royal crest of a lion roaring at a hawk flapped proudly in their royal purple. People mutter in awe as my carriage rolls through the streets, and I tuck myself protectively behind the curtained windows.

Will
The law office of Fielding, Martin, and Holmes was an imposing edifice on Collingswood Boulevard. It was a two-story building around for nearly 40 years. So imposing that John and Deborah Powers felt a bit uneasy, well Deborah or Deb at least. But John held her hand. “It’s just his will being read,” he said. “Who knows? We might get something out of it.”

The Will
His sister had picked us up from Milton Keynes station. Their lack of similarity was disarming in the way that it sometimes is with siblings. She was recently engaged which seemed unimaginably grown-up to me. Their parents had helped them buy a new-build at the corner of an estate which we stopped at on the way to the family home. We could hear the local traffic go by as we sat in their garden, where the only grass growing was through the grooves of the patio. We sat politely side-by-side and I wondered if this was why people hated meeting their partner’s family.

The Samhain Chronicles: Ch. 13
Pain. Blind, pure, excruciating pain. That was all that Danny knew. The silver crucifix seared his brow like molten lead, but he couldn't move to knock Mother Abigail's hand away. His spine arched backward away from her at an unnatural angle as an unearthly scream rose from his throat. Mother Abigail held the back of his head with her other hand, keeping him upright and the cross pressed firmly to his forehead. After the initial shock wore off, he began twisting in her grip, trying to free himself. For such an elderly woman, however, Mother Abigail's grip was firm and unrelenting. Her eyes bore into him, still warm but incredibly stern, "Breathe, Daniel; focus on the darkness, and expunge it!!"
