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

NOT EDITED Russell dropped into his desk chair, another fresh cup of coffee in his hand. He took a sip, drawing in a deep breath as he set the mug down.

Books & Badges – Chapter Thirty-Six
NOT EDITED After lunch with Theodore, which had turned out to mostly be a long hug on the hood of his car with Theodore instead, Russell had headed back to the station.

Books & Badges – Chapter Thirty-Five
NOT EDITED Theodore sat down on the stool behind the register, using his cane to help shift his balance and weight away from his left hip.
