Imani was just supposed to make sure that the lost dog got home safely, come back, and pretend like the mere thought of the owner with doe eyes and an armful of tattoos didn't make her question her entire belief system. Sounds simple enough...right? It isn't. (onc prompt #69 | when music becomes a way to communicate no words could compare)

The Ecstasy of Sister Amata
Ten years after leaving their Catholic boarding school, three former classmates meet up at the headmistress's retirement, and find the past still has resonances in the present. This started as my attempt at the Open Novella Contest 2021 (20,000-40,000 words. This is at the upper end of this range.) It didn't get anywhere much, but it was an interesting experiment (and fun to plan and write). ** Music, particularly for organ, plays quite a rôle in this story. Instead of providing accompanying media, I'll list the pieces that feature here, for anyone who wants to chase them up. Apart from Beatrice's (which doesn't exist, obvs) they're all available on YouTube. -JS Bach: Passacaglia & Fugue in C minor (BWV 582) -JG Rheinberger: Sonata no.11 in D minor (Op.148), Cantilène - Adagio * Beatrice's recital: -JS Bach: Prelude & Fugue in G (BWV 541) -Dietrich Buxtehude: Two chorale preludes - 'Ach Herr, mich arme Sünder' (BuxWV 178) / 'Komm, heiliger Geist, Herre Gott' (BuxWV 199) -Joseph Rheinberger: Five Trios (Op.189 1-5) -Niels Gade: Tre Tonestykke (Op.22) -Maurice Duruflé: Suite pour orgue (Op.5): prélude -Beatrice Sullivan: Fantasia on 'Ave Maris Stella' -JS Bach: Chorale prelude on 'Mensch, bewein dein Sünde gross' (BWV 622) -Louis Vierne: Hymne au Soleil (Op.53) * For an idea of the sort of Passion setting Bea mentions in ch.8, try 'St Matthew Passion' by Orlando di Lasso. * (Written February-March-April 2021 )Complete

NOTE: THIS IS A SEQUEL TO EYES ON US STORY! PLEASE READ BOOK ONE FIRST BEFORE READING THIS ONE. STORY ARE FOR MATURE AUDIENCES ONLY! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 𝗘𝗬𝗘𝗦 𝗔𝗥𝗘 𝗦𝗧𝗜𝗟𝗟 𝗢𝗡 𝗨𝗦... It's easy to love someone when things are perfect and everything's wonderful. But, to love someone when things are difficult, when they're not being perfect, when they're messing up, flaws are seen, mistakes are made...that's what really allow you to see how much love there is really. Anyone can love someone who doing and saying all the right things, being everything you want and need, when they're got it all together and it all figured it out. But, to love someone at their lowest, to love someone despite how broken they feel, when they're lost, when you're willing to stand by them no matter how challenging or difficult things may be, that kind of love is a lot more beautiful. That kind of love is a lot more meaningful. Thank you for loving me both times when things are good and bad, up and down. Thank you for taking in every aspect and part of me, accepting my flaws, forgiving my mistakes and helping me become the best version of me. 06/26/2021-02/19/2022 Rankings: #181 in black 9/16/2021 #2 in blackcharacters 9/16/2021 #570 in urban 9/16/2021 #20 in urbannovel 9/16/2021 #3 in blackstory 9/16/2021Complete
For Whenever I May Find Her
'Is that how a moth feels as it flies to the fire? She'll burn your wings, honey. Your heart will dry. Don't come any closer.' - Catherine * * * Sometimes, love at first sight wouldn't happen and no one could definitely get it right the first time. Sometimes, your first love wouldn't necessarily be your last. Then of course, in real life games, cheat codes and, ultimately, cheaters existed. Unfair? That's life. It wouldn't stop at having the one you love and marrying wasn't the happy ending but the signal of another book starting. Far from the end. New chapters. Variety of troubles that popped at every turn. Not all rainbows and butterflies. Still, with the one you love. 'And if there's love, you can do without happiness too. Even with sorrow, life is sweet.' Dostoevsky must have been on to something when he cooked that quotable quote up. However, the kind of love some were conditioned and aspired for wasn't that enduring. If it's not perfect then it's not worth fighting for. But... 'You're in love' so what's a little rain or occasional unforecasted storms here and there? Love triumphs after all. © All rights reservedComplete

Let it Rain | Orianna | Book1 | WLW
[Completed] (ShortStory) [women -loving- women] [girlXwoman] I came across a woman, to me, she's different at first sense. I wasn't sure how my existence turns out to be that day. By only gazing at her, I was fallen into my emotions. I couldn't find reasons to take away my eyes off her, millions of thoughts by just gazing at her. My existing state of mind is present at that moment, but I couldn't find any reason to describe her. How I felt, I was fascinated quickly by her. I didn't ask her name, but I saw the card she provided me to pay her bill, her name was Orianna Ferguson. I arrived back to let her sign, she brought her pen and stroke the pen signing, and was done. Noticing, she didn't even stare at all the papers where she signed. I leave after and let her enjoy her moment time alone. "Hey! Kiss! She can't see..." said the other staff saw a lowered tone, almost whispering, lowering her head down. "You didn't notice, do you? No judgments. I mean, she's a regular guest, I call her a lady in a hat." Dana, my co-waitress sneered while she said. Since the day I was bothered by the idea, she got me mesmerized. Should I talk to her? Or rather, have this dumbfounded idea. Waiting and standing here from afar, contented gazing enthralling her unique beauty on purpose. I have a million reasons to accept the fact. Will she be able to see me? Glance back or able to meet our eyes, recognizing me. Have you ever felt something that is missing...?
