"Class dismissed!"
And upon the command of Miss Safar,
dozens of miserable students locked up in that stale, stuffy
classroom now stampeded out the door, back into the free world. The
oriental mistress glared patronizingly at her host as she saw them
out one by one. They flew by her, glued to their phones and gossiping
with one another. Within seconds her room was barren of life once
again. Well, apart from the young lady staring at her phone in the
corner.
Ashley was in a sulk. And s

found the one. None of her other relationships had worked out. The
guys just had not been the right one. But Stacy knew: this was it.
This was the one. She paced the floor of her living room as she
waited for the doorbell to ring. Her slim dinner dress sashayed about
her trim ankles. Stacy was a looker: among her peers, she stood out
with a perfect hourglass figure, a gorgeous head of raven hair, a
beautiful, youthful smile. At school, only three other students
excelled her in awards, scho

had saved for months to attend the con. She'd wanted to go to the
Monster Boy Society convention the year before, but missed it due to
illness. This year, that wouldn't happen. This year, she'd go and
she'd see her favorite webcomic author, DysonDot, in person. Dyson's
monster boy comic, Homespun,
got Shawna into demis in the first place. The chance to meet him and,
maybe, see a bunch of cute guys in awesome costumes, gave her courage
to stifle her social shyness, to save for six months

Chastity
fidgeted a bit as she looked around at the audio and video equipment
pointed at her. She’d never been comfortable with modern
technology. As far as she was concerned, things were just fine in the
1800s. She supposed that stood to reason, of course. That’s when
she’d died.

say people become ghosts when they have unfinished business. One
would have thought the ghost herself would have some clue as to what
that business was, but for the last two hundred years she’d been

Kalaeodora had begun to settle in to
her new 21st century lifestyle. She’d managed to
convince Ty to let her stay in the house on the cheap. She told him
she was covering the pay with her day job but the truth was her taste
had started to develop and she found the most logical way to source
income was from her victims. She prowled high-end neighbourhoods at
night, at first she had only been feeding when she was desperately in
need of sustenance or cash, but once a month quickly became twice,

It was a warm, sticky
spring evening in Tupelo, Mississippi. As the sun was setting,
nearly ninety young women had gathered in a well-kept, spacious, and
privacy-fenced backyard behind a large, three story federal colonial
home. The property belonged to the Kappa Rho Delta Rho sorority, and
the women represented the entire Tupelo State College membership of
three sororities — the afore

"Get back here you
little turd!"
Billy ran. He had run for
most his life. All throughout elementary and middle school girls were
always trying to eat him just because he was a little shorter than
everyone else. Now on his first day of high school, some blue-haired
skank of a cheerleader was chasing him. He wasn't worried. A lifetime
of running had left him in good shape and he was outpacing her
easily. He got to the street at the edge of the school grounds,
looked both ways for oncomin

Ruby
and Blake could barely contain their excitement. They’d been
married for nearly a year, but they were finally going on their
honeymoon. It should have happened much sooner, but one of the things
the couple had in common, besides a rather lean and athletic build,
was their relentlessly people-pleasing attitude. Taking other
people’s shifts, trading vacations, working unpaid overtime.
Neither of them could ever seem to assert themselves in the face of
someone else
who wanted something, wh
