"I don't know. All of a sudden, we just stopped," she adds, eyes still scanning as she looks over the room and then down, around their feet. There's nothing there she can see, although she has to maneuver her skirt out of the way to even see anything at all, and then she finally glances upward, up the length of the doorframe ( Read more... )

The cane that slides against the ice is not my own. It's heavier and bulkier, with a curved hook on one end to serve as a grip. I've paid attention to the warnings -- that the weather would turn cold. That some of the topography and architecture could transform with the coming of December. But as I walk through the snowy streets of a city I do not ( Read more... )

If there's one thing you can say about Tony Stark is that he knows how to make an entrance but behind all the flash and the gimmicks, behind that gold-titanium alloy there's actually a man who wants to make a difference to the island.

There is little excuse for Auggie to not enjoy the waterfall now. When he was up at the Compound, the walk had never really made going out of his way to go there worth it. After all, why go there to cool off when it only meant he'd be sweating again by the time he walked back? It's different now that he lives in the hut he does - the waterfall is ( Read more... )

"I would've totally grabbed a bottle of champagne if there were any," she openly laments, reaching in front of him to open the door, letting him walk in ahead of her. "We can just pretend."Not only does Annie wind up with a hut to call her very own, but she also gets a roommate out of the deal - even if the place isn't ( Read more... )

Everyone left. It was a fact Sam had been dealing with for the better part of his life, something he'd learned to expect from the time he was small. They died, they vanished, they moved on, they did any number of things, but they never stayed. Around here, that was always going to be the case.

Sept. 26-Oct. 1: Kate acts out. Surprisingly, the person Kate hurts the most is herself.

It's what she sees every morning as she wakes up, without the assistance of any alarm. Somehow, over the past couple of months, she's officially switched to running on island time, but it's a little hard to celebrate that milestone when Annie can't help but feel like she's regressing every time she catches a glimpse of the bracelet dangling from ( Read more... )
