Whether written centuries ago or just last year, literary couples show that love is timeless.

The Shadow Chronicles
Chapter 1. I climbed into my red SUV and turned it on. I had just finished a nine hour shift at Anna's Café and just wanted to wait a moment before I had to drive to my mothers house an hour out of town where I will be staying over the weekend. I took in a deep breath before taking my winter coat off and tossing it into the backseat, then taking off my scarf I turned the radio up and pulled out of the parking lot and started driving.

Marked
when a human is born, it is said that two names appear on the skin of the child. They say that these names are unique to every person, and that no two are the same. One is the name of the person that you are meant to be with, the other is the one that will end your life. So, when one, Miss Nimue Leastrange was born everyone thought it was strange that she only had one name. throughout her life she would look at the name in wonder, even would trace it with her finger when she would go deep into thought. which is exactly what she was doing as she sat in front of the large window in the living room of her flat, watching the rain fall. Her mind wondered though from thought to thought, like the earliest memories of her looking at the name that marked her inner left thigh to the time she was able to speak the name on her skin.

FareWell
Call it a fairy tale; for this day started out almost identical to one. I was completely unaware of what the future had planned for me. I became accompanied by a surprise. One which would soon change everything, allowing me to become dumbfounded for what was about to happen. It was a lost needle in a haystack, completely and utterly unpredictable, and here my life was about to change in less than a fraction of a second.

A Night With No Stars
Finally, my time had arrived. I’d been planning this for two and a half years, testing every theme, planning every detail, tasting every dish, agonizing over the perfect music. This would be the evening that I’d finally get to see it all together. All I could do now was hope that it was going to look like the night of my dreams. After all the time I spent getting myself ready, I was prepared to experience it all with fresh eyes, right next to the people I cherished most that were already waiting inside.

The shadows of us
It’s 2 AM and my breathing is starting to pick up. Am I panicking? Am I fighting for too much right now? Maybe the world around me is caving in, I can hear my heartbeat, and I don’t doubt that wherever you are, you can hear it too. You’re outside, you’re across the house, you’re in the other room, you’re across the counter. You inch closer and closer, my breathing gets deeper, suddenly there is a pit in my stomach. Am I going to puke, maybe it’s from the alcohol?

Amber and Mary Jane
There she sat, her long brown hair cascading down, her jacket caped over her short shorts, fishnet stockings hugging her legs, and her sturdy black combat boots. A No Smoking sign sat on the table beside her, but she disregarded it, holding a joint between her fingers, purposely keeping the words out of her view. If others could comprehend the torment she had endured over the past year—the unimaginable loss of her entire family, her beloved husband and three precious children—they would withhold judgment about her recent behavior. They would remember the kind-hearted person and devoted mother she truly was.

Rain 1.0
Willia m's POV I walked through the pathway in the middle of Central park, I swung my cane forward and backward, while nodding at the people walking by. I check my pocket watch one last time before agreeing with myself that it will no longer work, I let out a soft sigh and turn to look into the pond in the middle of the park and I gave the near by people a small smile. I find it a comfort that they don't know who I am, a passerby, a stranger whom could take away all of their dignity at once, someone who could give them anything their hearts desire in an instant... But they will never know this. I give them a nod before turning and making my way out of the park and into a near by coffee shop, I walk over to the counter and order my usual double double, as I am waiting for my drink I walk over to a table and pull out my phone to scroll through my social media. "Ding" The door opens, leaving the bell to make its noise of the usual costumers walking in and out. "Can I get a large French Vanilla?" a soft voice rang out, it sounded familiar yet new to me. From centuries ago, filled with authority yet sounds so filled with caution as if she was unsure of herself. I looked up from my phone and nearly choked of the air that I breathed, "Rachel?" I asked quietly to myself. It couldn't be her, she had been deceased for centuries. I watch the woman stand against the counter one hand resting with her hand on her chin, her elbow on the counter. Her other hand tapping lightly on the counter as she spoke to the barista, I quickly bring my phone up and take a picture of the woman. Quietly hoping to myself that I would meet the woman again in the future, "Double Double!" the Barista shouted I got up and made my way over to the counter to grab my drink. After taking it I look at the woman, whom had her eyes on me as well. I smiled and nodded slightly before turning and walking away out of the coffee shop making my way back to my apartment.
