Keep it Casual
She's lived the last 20 years trying not dwell on the traumatic hardships of her past as they constantly replay in the back of her mind. Made a promise to live a full (semi carefree) life, spreading love and joy, all the while never wanting (more like fearing) anything permanent. It can feel lonely, but it's how she's always coped. And with his own hardships, he's not looking for anything other than to have a good time and celebrate with old friends on their new chapter in life. Somewhat acquainted due to mutual friends from back in the wonderfully exciting years of puberty and teenage drama, two young adults reconnect in a new kind of way. Deeper and more complex than they could ever prepare themselves for. Keeping things casual is a lot easier said than done. The real question is, do they want to? ---------------------------------------------------------- "No te preocupes, Princesa. I won't spill the tea." He winks then takes a step closer towards the other man. "But we're gonna have to have a little... Talk. Man to man." The 25 year old woman is right there blocking the young mechanic as he takes a few menacing steps forwards, again. He then lets out a breathy laugh at the worried look on the young woman's face. Looking towards the slight older man, eyes locked on his every movement, Rio mangages to speak between his menacing laughter. Said laughter coming out light and amused at first, but then turns into such twisted amusement it causes a spike of anxiety in the younger woman. It's almost like it's all a sick joke to him at the moment. "...Uh, I- I ain't- I ain't- I ain't gonna kill nobody." He chuckles as he looks around at no one in particular with a twinkle in his eyes, taking a deep breath. "Nah, man. But this little... Fling... Y'all got going on... Fo' sure. Most definitely."

Afterlife
Dead is not all rainbows and butterflies. It's not 'better than living'. You are not 'free' or 'better off'. You're just not. So what is it like? Think of it as the ultimate game of tag. One Grim Reaper after another, and if you're caught, you die...again. But what if you suddenly fall head over heels for someone who hates you? What if he tries to kill you? What if you are partnered with him to capture a serial killer? I'd like to know the answers to those questions too. Maybe I'll find some light in all this darkness. Or, maybe, nothing will turn out the way I want. Maybe I'll be killed. Maybe I'll die again. Maybe I'll be rejected. Maybe it isn't such a good idea to be so optimistic sometimes because I'm sure nothing will turn out the way I want.Complete
Wish You Were Here
"Do you know how old I am?" you whisper. "Mmm-hmm." A hand slips underneath the skirt of your dress and pulls you higher against his body. "Do you know how old I am?" "Yeah." "Does it bother you?" For a moment you stop. Does it bother you? you ask yourself. But then you feel his breath on your skin, open your eyes again just enough to look at him. He doesn't look his age. He doesn't act like it, either. And anyway, people are always telling you you're an old soul. Is it really that big a deal? You reach out to tilt his face back towards yours. Instead of answering, you just kiss him again. He laughs against your mouth, kisses back. And slowly he slides your body off the bench and guides you over to the bed. ====================== You are a writer in your early twenties, fresh out of a long term relationship and dying to shake up your sex life. Enter the actor, a handsome British thespian much older than you, often branded as the internet's boyfriend, who you meet on set of the movie adaptation of your novel. It's easy to convince each other that your completely inappropriate attraction is nothing but a fun, secret fling, no strings attached. But your out-of-this-world chemistry is threatened by the media, who swoop dangerously close to exposing the predatory age gap and tanking one (or both) of your careers.Complete

Static
{COMPLETED} "now that you've had your fun electrocuting me, would you care to hop in the backseat?" ---------------------------------------------------------- Freak DNA. That's what I like to call it. The fault to my genetic code. More often than not, it's a curse. The static running through my blood gave me a name. A cruel, daunting label of a measly bug. A roach. That's what I am to them, to the government. Roach; the nameless monster with electricity for a sense and lightening as a second nature. It ruined my life, the sparking currents playing tag in my mind, running around and bumping into everything, shaking me loose. The government, actually. They ruined my life. My curse just gave them a reason. You see, the normal population with ordinary DNA, they don't know about the people like me. The roaches of the world. We don't get that kind of recognition at the camps. There, we are only one thing in the military's eyes. We are weapons and we will act like it. Everyone else out there, bathing in the goodness they don't know they've got, they don't know about the roaches their stepping on. As long as their getting closer to the sky, they don't care what they stand on to reach it. They don't know about the sparkling dreamer that's killed 7 people before her 17th birthday. They don't about the ghost of a girl peaking around corners for her entire life because even home wasn't safe. They don't know about the fighter of steel and iron sucking on his bloody lip courtesy of the wars he battles in as nothing but a shadow. They don't know about the masked villain who would do anything to see the army they lead claim the throne They don't know about us. But they will, because we will rise. And when we arrive, we will arrive violently. ___________________________________________ Started: 10.06.15 Finished: 3.17.16Complete
