"Take that foul creature," Coraline said, hitting the bookcase with a broom. Narrowing her eyes, Coraline made a noise that could only be described as hyaaah before hitting two-three times in quick succession. Beating the bookcase seemed like an odd past time for a twelve-nearly thirteen year old explorer but Coraline had spent a week looking for ( Read more... )

There is a Vulcan standing straight-backed and stolid before the bookcase in the Compound's rec room, staring with quiet intensity at the row of brightly-colored spines lined neatly upon the shelf at his eye level. Upon first glance, he likely seems as calmly engrossed as any book store patron or idle browser. To know him, however-To wit, to know ( Read more... )

One of the horrible things about the island was how easy it was to find yourself bored. Even with the herbs he'd planted and cooking twice a week, George still found himself with a lot of time to fill. Not that he was complaining about things being a bit dull, mind you. He'd had enough excitement back home and then last month when the island had ( Read more... )

He should know better by now; he really truly ought to. When he found a reel marked 'STAR TREK' on the bookshelf, he ought to have left it there, turned his back until the books rearranged themselves into nothing but cook books and how-to manuals. He didn't leave it there, though, and he hasn't put it back ( Read more... )

It was not that Chekov had been avoiding people, really. He'd just...well, perhaps been avoiding people a little bit.

Natalya had come to expect certain things from the island, such as the weather and the clothing. There wasn't much to be done about it, and while surprising things did tend to crop up, more often than not island living met and maintained a certain standard, however tedious and overly warm. Walking into the kitchen after her shower, she expected to ( Read more... )

Kon had asked around and made sure everyone he knew - yes, even Cassie - knew that he was moving from one place, the treehouse, to another, Beat's old hut. Maybe he'd hold off a little on telling Serena just where he'd moved. Wouldn't want to dig into old or not-so-old wounds. It was like some kind of weight was being relieved, him moving. He ( Read more... )

It's a Wonderful Life.

The film is question was one that generally triggered positive thoughts for Charlie Crews. (He liked Jimmy Stewart, for one thing, and he liked Christmas, too. He liked the holidays on principle. Love and peace for all mankind. Who could go wrong with that kind of spirit going around? So maybe it was a little late now, but in ( Read more... )
