Nathan's life wasn't supposed to be like this, though he still had to admit that the island was a lot better than prison. (The food, for instance, was a lot more palatable, and most of the time Nathan didn't feel the need to fashion a shiv out of a plastic utensil.) It didn't seem like that long ago when Nathan had a good job, a great girlfriend, ( Read more... )

Bill had been rather chuffed with the results of the auction, and was therefore in possibly even a better mood than usual as he stood in the kitchen assembling shrimp and fruit kebabs with his homemade wooden skewers. He didn't even mind that Coraline had won him; she was a sweet kid, after all, and he was fairly certain she would have been a ( Read more... )

This isn't your washroom, either!

Yeah, it is.

Where's your name at then?

For me to know, and you to never to find out!

Come on, Manny. I forgot the B.O.F.'s were here.

Lily was, to put it mildly, unimpressed. She was soaked to the skin and unimpressed and missing one child. One naked, wet child. One naked, wet child who had escaped. If Lily hadn't been so, so sure that Eddie was her father, at times like this, she might have blamed her squarely on one James Lennox.

"We're going to have to talk about your issues," said Nathan, finally biting the bullet and doing what should have been done a long time ago. "You can do things on your own - I've seen you do things on your own - but you insist on this unhealthy attachment to Craig ( Read more... )

The evidence had been disposed of. The cat food he fed to the roving pack of cats, a little bit to each, spreading it out to make it more difficult to piece back together. As for the tins themselves, he stripped and burned the labels and hid them in amongst the rest of the recyclables from the kitchen. They were probably being used as candle ( Read more... )

River looked at the bulletin board in the compound nearly every day. She liked knowing what was going on, and finding things she could help with, and fun things to do. It was a handy thing, she had always thought ( Read more... )
