Shut-Court #4

Read previous installment here. On the elevated stage, James saw a mysterious patch of light.

Shut-Court #3

  Read previous installment here. James' search took him past what seemed like a lounge where overturned chairs, empty bottles and glassware were scattered on the bar.

The Adventures of Flo: Full Cycle #22

The intellectuals; those who had a higher level of understanding were the ones who Flower Jiya looked up to. To her, they deserved to be named 'role models'.

The Adventures of Flo: The Death of Expectation. #10

Wherever Flo looked, she saw beautiful girls clad in short but sophisticated, expensive but gorgeous dresses. What were supposed to be their eyebrows appeared to resemble the golden arcs above the gates of heaven. Yes with halos and all. There were 'foreign accents' fluttering out of red painted lips and Flo caught an 'r' and… Continue reading The Adventures of Flo: The Death of Expectation. #10
