The blonde nurse with a smile full of beautiful bleached teeth, and a stiff, starched uniform, fit the grey blood pressure cuff around Jennifer’s left arm. Jenny couldn’t help but stare at the nurse. Her

“Good morning, Mrs. Pena, could I have a little word with you?” Carrie sighed. “Sure Mrs. Horsford. Just give me a minute to put my bag down.” “Very well. Don’t take too long, I have other things to do.”

“Help me with my toes.” Jamie wriggled her feet at Patrick. She sat at the edge of the bed wrapped in a pink, fluffy towel, her wet hair wrapped in a smaller matching version. Pat sighed. “Fine, I’ll help
Beth looked around the tiny apartment. The landlady moved her through the rooms in quick succession. Kitchen. Bedroom. Bathroom. “It’s not meant to be a long term thing.” She pulled the bathroom door closed.
The Queen rose in her customary dignified manner. She patted her ballooning skirt down, lifted her chin regally and proceeded to walk toward the bellowing balcony (from whence she doth speechify) whilst
“Is that a Raccoon?” Jess looked under the kitchen table. Rhonda pursed her lips.“Yeah. She moved in about a month ago? Right after the last storm. She climbed in through the window. Now I can’t get rid
The second to last last thing Connor saw was an explosion. A bright bolt of blue lightning scorched the empty air across his right wing and slammed into the thrusters. The skimmer veered sharply off course
The line of his neck drew her. He’d carefully sculpted his beard, fading it past his strong mouth till it disappeared completely along the naked symmetry of his Adam's apple. A tiny pulse beat where his
“Marcella? I found one!” Edie’s voice rose an octave. She laughed, a little too loudly. Marcella winced. “Another one?” “Seriously Marcy, listen. There’s a guy living up on Courtland.” “Stop it.” Marcella
‘Who are you?’ The old woman whispered the words with great effort. Her nose and mouth were covered with a breathing mask that fed oxygen to her through a long hose plugged into the wall. Her grey hair
‘Hurry up Stef.’ Connor was at the door. He already unbuttoned the top buttons of his shirt. ‘Give me a minute, jackass. You know I don’t want to get caught.’ She peered out the side windows of the car.
‘Don’t look down.’ Syko said as he raced towards the edge. Jimmy held his breath. Syko always looked before he jumped. But he said it anyway. It was kinda his thing. Crazy fucker. This high up, everything

One month in. The physical effects of intermittent fasting.
I’m not a doctor or health professional, I’m doing this for my own entertainment and education. Please consult a health professional before you try any of this. Ok, I’m insane. Who deliberately fasts for
Jenny peered into the narrow opening. Deep in the crawl space beneath the abandoned house she saw the ghostly green glow of eyes reflecting the last rays of evening sun. ‘Come here boy, come on.’ She called
