Exactly at noon Jessica looked out the window at the pouring rain that made Seattle famous. She couldn't go to the park and eat lunch there, so she took out her lunchbox and ate at her desk. All around her she heard her coworkers in their cubicles do the same. She had to find a new job. The people here were so antisocial that she might as well work from home. Why did they even build these high partitions? It would be more pleasant to have some conversation during the work day. It would help to make it go faster.
Prompt #: 17

There was a New Year's Eve ball in the Volturi castle to celebrate the turn of the century. Not that these immortals really paid attention to time. Yet they celebrated with gossip, music, dancing, and the best part, by feasting on unsuspecting humans at the stroke of midnight.
Marcus sat in his chair watching the spectacle of carefree dancing couples without any feeling. He felt numb because it was the only way he could forget there was a time he was genuinely happy.
He turned his eyes away, studying the patterns on the ceiling casted off from the crystal chandelier.
