Tyra stops on the path, her blond hair hanging in her face in sweaty strands. She chopped it off a few days ago, around the time that Jason turned up, dumped it on the sand and watched it blow away. Calvin told her that birds, some birds, like to use hair in their nests ( Read more... )

He feels the ache in his chest, higher up than he used to. Even those phantom pains of guilt have migrated north to undamaged territory. It's a long time coming. If he's honest with himself, they've been heading toward this for a while. Maybe since the accident, but it's not just that. Maybe they really are just different people, like she said. He' ( Read more... )

The island had done it again. Whether it was pure chance or benevolence none of them would ever know, but somehow, someway, the place had seen fit to give them all booze again ( Read more... )

It certainly wasn't the first time Neville found himself unable to sleep, tossing and turning until finally he threw on his robe and slippers and headed up to the main floor of the compound.

Tyra's sitting at the table in the rec-room and she's actually reading. A book. A real book. Tyra Collette's never been much of a reader, but then she woke up in her new place and there was a shiny silver case next to her head with a label with her name on it ( Read more... )

Tony had woken up to one of the better gifts he'd ever received that morning. Of course, at first he thought it was another of the practical jokes he and Tim were playing on each other. But there was a notecard that said 'Tony' on it attached, and he had no idea how Tim or even Abby would have gotten their hands on the entire series of James Bond ( Read more... )

Landry Clarke wasn't quite as clueless as he sometimes seemed. Mind being out in left field most of the time, he gave off the air of someone wasn't quite with it, but for all his wild ideas and interesting takes on most situations, he actually did, you know, pay attention. When Tyra Collette spoke, Landry listened. When she smiled or frowned or ( Read more... )
