"I'm only going to ask you one more time." I say firmly. "Who are you and what do you want with me?" He frowns, and I tense, waiting for a blow, but none comes. I really need to shut my big mouth. "Apparently, I'm not nearly as famous as I thought I'd be. The name's Alix. Alix Black." My mouth drops open. The Alix Black? World-famous thief Alix Black? "Yep, and you're going to help me," he replies with a smirk. "What?" I protest. "Relax, Fireball. You're much too pretty to kill. And you're wrong about some things. I am a man of my word. I will offer you a deal. We're both after the information about this locket. I'll help you get the information and find your parents, and in return, you keep my identity a secret." I think about it.

It's only a day and a half. Besides, everything she's hearing are just rumors...right? //Published in the anthology "Inkslinger" as of April 2016.//

The definition of the word 'cosmos' is quite peculiar. Most would say it means something to do with space. Others might say the universe. We think of something quite different. In fact, we think of the cosmos as a way of thinking, a symbol of peace, order, and happiness. But of course, nothing is as simple as that. Especially not love. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 This is an entry for the Pairs contest. @Rooroolilly and I have been working on this for about a month now (she's awesome by the way, if you're bored, go ahead and check her out). This poem is also on her account as well. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 I like to think of this poem as the two of us mocking the idea of peace. Sure, we all want peace, but will we get stronger if there's no challenge? This story of two stars shows how hard it is to find the answer to the questions we most want solved, and how sometimes what we think we want has consequences.

Corinna Báthory, 16th-century nobility, is kidnapped and thrown into a male detective academy in present-day Florida. But they grabbed the wrong girl. Season 1 of Agents of Time ***** It's 1585, and things could not possibly be going any slower for Corinna Báthory. Overwhelmed with expectations as Hungarian nobility and the trials and tribulations of becoming a female playwright in a field dominated by men, Corinna would do anything for a change of pace. Of course, there's nothing better to speed up the narrative than being kidnapped...and being accused of being a serial killer. ***** [[ THE WATTY'S 2021 SHORTLIST ]]
