Tegan stood unseen under a maple, its leaves twisted green and silver in the pending storm’s breeze. He’d managed to hold off the rain as he watched, while the humans wept for their loss.
Several family and friends gathered close to the woman who clutched a tiny baby in her arms. The infant, no more than a few days old slept unaware of events that unfolded. Tegan pushed off the tree. Wanting to get a closer look, he kept his wings wrapped around him, cloaking him from prying eyes. How fitting that an angel, a leader in the Maker’s army would show up on this day. If they could see him, many here would think he’d come to bless the deceased, take them to the afterlife. Nothing could be further from the truth. They were lucky fire didn’t rain down

“You’re welcome to join me. Oh...unless you have someplace you need to be.”
He accepted her invitation, and took a seat next to her, yet kept an acceptable distance. “My name’s Tegan.”
Her hazel eyes sparkled like rare jewels. “I’m Ana. Pleased to meet you, Tegan.” She held out her hand and he accepted, noting the softness of her skin. He gave a firm quick shake before letting go.
“So, you’re a runner. Do you run marathons?” She tossed a handful of nuts out to the waiting squirrels.
“No, I just enjoy the freedom and solitude of running in the forest. It helps me think.” He watched the furry creatures grab their food and scatter to a safe distance. “And you? I see you here every morning with your entourage.” He waved to the band of squirrels, and she let out a soft, carefree laugh that he found delightful.
“I also love the solitude of the forest. It makes me forget my problems.” She shoved her hands into her pockets and looked to the sky. The morning sun filtered through the trees and kissed her face, making her look angelic. Every time he passed her on his morning run, he contemplated choosing her to father his daughter. He sensed she would be a good mother, loving and nurturing. But did she believe in

In her mind’s eye, she now pictured him handsome with strong eyes that would one sunrise, take her away from the life she was destined to live.

However, deep down, she could not make herself leave his side. This was her first opportunity to have a real friend, and she would not give this up for any prize on the Gods’
Dear Stan, It’s been a rough couple of months so far here in Da Nang. Just an hour ago, the NVA moved up closer to the airfield and shot down a loaded C-130 transport plane. The wreckage was spread out all over the runway, killing around twentie two guys. At first, I didn’t even know the NVA had RPG-7’s. The Soviets must have supplied them well, I wasn’t surprised that they would support any country against us. Anyway, I’ve been unlucky in the recent months like I said before. It was August 2nd, and Cpt. Cole called in a Huey gunship. We needed fire support on hill 137, there were several NVA 50.cal positions that were dugg in. They also had plenty of RPK bipod mounts all over the mountain, we were ducked the whole time to avoid getting nailed
"I'm Roan. You need your rest. Puana is very strong and you hit you're head very hard." Clarke knew there was no Roan on the Ark or in the hundred but she couldn't force herself to care. The only thing she cared about was the aching in her back and the pulsing veins in her head.
Everyone has judged someone before they get to know them, sometimes you can even do it on accident. My personal experience in judging someone before getting to know them was when I meet my step-brother Carson for the first time. When I first met Carson I was about 6 years old and he was around 10 years old. I was at his house in Florida that I had never been to before, so I was scared already, so when I went upstairs to grab something from my bag I saw him for the first time, he was coming around the corner really fast and was wasn’t paying attention and ran right into me. The first thoughts that came to mind was that he was big and scary and he just hurt me. But after I got to know him I realized he wasn’t really scary at all, it was just

“Anything that can help us find out who did this.” I said, examining the crime scene. I walked towards what used to be the glass case that held the crown, but was now a useless, shattered cube.
She nodded and gracefully seemed to end the conversation with Queen Guinevere. Then she guided her fiancé toward him.
“Nan, Sir Gawain.” She braced her feet and rested her hands on her ample hips, as if preparing to admonish him. “I am close to Drea and her lovely
“Yes, and you are her beautiful mother. It is a pleasure to meet you.” He kissed her hand.
"Wake up, partners," the trail boss, James called. I sleepily looked up , shivered, and saw I was the only one not up. "Here," James said, giving me the horses' bridles and saddles. "Take these and get the horses ready. We have a long day today." I groaned in reply and set up the horses for the day's long drag. I was the horse wrangler and this was my everyday job but I still couldn't get use to the idea of waking up before the sun and working. We drove the cattle into open plains against the winter's cold wrath.
Tera laughed a bit as Oz insisted he had the big brute where he wanted him. They both knew better but she just smiled, "I'm sure you did, but we don't have time for you to play with them." she spoke without looking up as her attention went back to their bigger problem.
The wind howled. A shot rang out. A mop of unkempt dark hair fell to the ground.
