The night seeps through the door
Lights blazing to erase the black
I feel the chill silently advance

Dirt and Denial by Julie Murdock
And we all have a bit of dirt in us,
But you held the microscope the wrong way around,
You saw me more than your field of vision would allow;

Death's sweet scent,
winds blow a path of time,

Changeling by Cailean Darkwater
Light's grasping tendrils drag me from my dreams.
I'd prefer to stay in my cosy, warm bed, but I suppose I should
get myself into gear ...
A thundering knock at the door!
Groping vaguely on my bedside table. I pick up my confused Face, a
cacophony of colour, motley hues chasing each other across glossy
painted surface inset with black opal eyes. Slipping it on, I
shamble towards the front door.

A sun key to the lonely door,

A World for Georgiana by Vasilis Afxentiou
She soon felt much better. Sunny thoughts splintered the bizarre
apparitions that only a while ago she thrashed at trying to fend
off.
She leaned her head back now and stretched her swan-like neck
soaking up the titillating humus of the pool. Her body felt warm
and rich. The phantoms of the dream ebbed with the flow of dawn.

EASE by Monica D. Blache
He always deceived with ease. He eased into his
lies like a comfortable pair of slippers. His
breath never choked as the words rolled out.
His canvas -- a woman's soul.
His intent was to make his victim swallow his
deception with ease.

In the Subway by Joshua Marshall
I think it was late Monday afternoon when she became apparent to me.
The previous month had been a hectic one, full of the subtle
politics that go hand in hand with working in an office. I had been
reluctantly dragged into a contest between two managers and both
