Title: Girl in a Car
Character: Cordelia
Timeline: Post Graduation Day
Cordelia sat waiting for the next bus. A car pulled up.
“Where to?”
“LA. Where you headed?” she asks.
“I’m driving to all 50 states.”
“I’m going to be an actress.” It be easy enough to pick apart both ambitions, but they don’t.
She gets out at the rich side of town. Knows she won’t be staying.
“Thanks.” She gives him a winning smile. “I hope that I never see you again Xander.”
“Same here.”
She leans in and kisses him on the cheek.
As he drives away, some part of her leaves too. She’s not sure what it is.
Title: Introduction
Character: Clem
“I’m not evil!” Clem held his arms up as Spike moved towards him. He’d heard things. He wanted to stay alive.
“I am.”
“Hey, I know where there’s this really cool poker game being held. I could get you in.”
Spike studied him.
“You’re Spike, right? I heard you were all about the fighting. Truth is, I’m not. Where’s the challenge in that?”
“Right? So what‘s the stakes.”
“Kittens.”
“What? You play for kittens?”
“They taste great… oh, living creatures. But you can always exchange them for money, if that’s your deal.” He held out his hand. “Name’s Clem.”
Title: Resolution
Character: Lorne
Timeline: Spin the bottle/Home
Every story has a resolution (unless it’s post-modernist or cancelled by Fox). I told the beginning on a stage to a audience of me - a spell went awry and my friends lost their memories and I woke up a demon. It would have happened but I sounded the starter’s pistol.
And now it ends because a pretty, dead lady laid out her own yarn. My chance at resolution - the thing I’ve been after.
I knocked back Seabreezes to calm my nerves. It makes it easier to smile as it pulls up.
Besides who doesn’t love a limo ride.
Title: Political Correctness
Character: Harmony
Harmony marched into Angel’s office brandishing a booklet in her hand.
“I think we should start filling the water coolers with pigs’ blood.”
“What?”
“There’s not enough equal rights for vampires round here.” She couldn’t believe Angel’s lack of awareness. “They made me read a pamphlet, but there’s nothing about vampires - it needs updating.”
“We have Necro-tempered windows.” Angel tapped the glass.
“It’s a start.”
“Change is a slow, painstaking process.”
“Pain-staking! That’s like negative word for us.” She waited for Angel’s outrage to surface. He would normally have snapped at her by now. “Doesn’t it bother you?”
“No.”
