A kiss wakes her up, but true love has nothing to do with it.

#MenageMonday – Challenge Accepted

Happy Monday! Let's dive right in. Prompt: #MenageMonday Sitting in this coffee shop was supposed to be peaceful. Supposed to help me clear my head, focus on the task at hand. Instead, I can't help but stare at that obnoxious wall across the street. Let's get funky it says. It would be hilarious if not…

#MenageMonday – Continued Bargain

I really have dragged myself into another serial. However! This one I intend to end quickly. Maybe I can get a short story out of it. Who knows? Prompt: #MenageMonday Sometimes I wonder if I should've just let Death take me. I found Nox - would have found it sooner if I'd paid more attention…

We continue down the hall. The walls are lined with random posters and art, even some framed sheet music. Every once in a while I peek…

#MenageMonday – An Exercise in Trust

Prompt: #MenageMonday Though there's no turning back, I still hesitate. My mind struggles to process what I'm seeing - these vast ruins and field inside what should have been just a regular building. When Death tasked me with finding this place, I didn't think it would take me so far from home. Far from everything,…
