Yuri wanted to be a mom one day. She could see kids in the village picking spring wildflowers for their mommies and be so excited to present them. Older kids, adult kids, they did different things. Dads did things when the child was only a baby ( Read more... )

The nice weather was finally here, but Kamekona's shrimp truck was not pumping out the sweet smell of garlic and shrimp. While it was still parked near the beach today, it looked almost sad with the windows closed. The truck's hood was open and half of Kamekona's burly form was buried underneath.

Of course, there wasn ( Read more... )

The Dragon lies, half-curled up in the sun with her wings spread a bit to catch more of the warmth from the sun. Her golden scales glittering in the light might lead one to believe she is a statue, but closer examination reveals her breathing. Though her eyes are closed, she is instinctually aware of everything happening around her ( Read more... )
