AITL – Chapter Four

Monday: May 23, 2022 Aurora’s alarm went off at six o’clock that morning. Lifting Cooper’s head off her chest, she sat up in bed. She pulled her feet out from under Dexter’s chest and climbed off the bed. It felt far too dark in her room. She pulled open the curtains to let in someContinue reading “AITL – Chapter Four”

AITL – Chapter Three

Sunday: May 22, 2022 After waking up and taking a shower, Aurora skipped breakfast and coffee to head to the sheriff’s department instead.

AITL – Chapter Two

Saturday: May 21, 2022 The first thing Aurora found out when she awoke that morning was that the moving truck wouldn’t be coming in until sometime Tuesday.

AITL – Chapter One

Books & Badges – Chapter Forty

NOT EDITED Just before midnight, Theodore fell asleep on the couch, his head on Russell’s chest. Russell paused Nurse Jackie and set the remote on the end table.

S. Carved – Chapter Thirteen

NOT EDITED Chapter Thirteen Sunday: February 10, 2008 Thanks to Ed and a couple nightmares thrown his way, Dallas had spent another night sleeping like garbage.

Books & Badges – Thirty-Nine

NOT EDITED Later that evening, as promised, Russell had picked Theodore up from the bookstore at five.
