The smoke filled the interior of the car. “What happened? What did I actually see? Maybe I overreacted to hitting some kid. Fuck that’s hit and run.” He laid his head on the steering wheel. His hands shook. He twisted the ignition key and listened to the engine sputter to life. #BookishTuesday

Casey swallowed. She had moved across the country to escape that place; she had done everything they wanted, she saw the shrink, took the pills, and they tracked her down again. “I’m sorry, you must have me confused with someone else.” She sounded calm and believable. #BookishTuesday

Scarlet and her wolves explored the caves, finding the ruins of a vast civilization. The undines searched for the survivors, whoever still lived deeper under the ice. They followed the currents to the boiling vents and heard the thrum of machinery, but found no one #BookishTuesday #SFF

She scanned the document; at first, nothing jumped out. It was what she would expect to find on any terraforming mission, and she knew about terraforming. Before she was a Tower Princess, she’d been a lead researcher on the Tethys project. At least, until she’d woken up in the Tower. #BookishTuesday

In a little smoke shop on Mars, Viv's whiskers sparked in the static storm. She chose the blue smoke to dull her concern. Her boss had sent the incriminating photos to the office, but the woman herself hadn't checked in, and Viv's whiskers twitched with worry #BookishTuesday #SFF

He blinked slowly and waited a moment before finally asking, “What is a dissertation?”

Kit hid her smile. She wasn’t sure about the boundaries of her connection to the familiar, but she doubted that laughing at its lack of academic knowledge would end well for her. #BookishTuesday

She had fought for decades to create a more inclusive Preternatural community. One that also included humans. Most locals had signed on, but while most tolerated socializing with others, no one seemed to mix beyond that. Sure, some groups with similar abilities intermarried. #BookishTuesday

The dream came back to her. I’m going to look in the bathtub and Wendy will be there waiting. She’s lying there almost dead. Then she’ll sit up and slither out of the tub. She rubbed at her arms. “I don’t have the dream anymore," Casey kept her voice confident.

Elle bit her lip, wanting to immediately say you, I like you. But that was silly. The clerk was doing her job and didn’t need to be hit on. “Oh, alright,” Elle managed to say and took another step into the store.

She let her eyes slowly move over the various creations #BookishTuesday

“Watch the glass,” Dinah said, leaning so close that Amanda felt the other woman’s warm flesh press against her.

Amanda gave a soft gasp of wonder as the water mixed with the absinthe, turning it a delicious milky jade hue.

Dinah gave a delighted laugh at Amanda’s excitement.

The guy eyeing her in between lining up pool shots was either in a motorcycle club or had watched too many episodes of that popular biker drama. She drank her beer, watching him in the mirror. He bent to make his shot, and Natasha liked the way his ass looked in the tight jeans. #BookishTuesday

This was a popular ballad in the middle of the evening at taverns when there was a bit of a lull, but everyone still wanted enrapturing music that held attention and kept people on the dance floor should they wish to stay.

I almost cancelled this week, but I think we could all use a break from the hell that's going on around us.

I felt a leathered gloved finger touch my chin and force my head up, “Once your kith called me Le Belle Dame. That will do,” she said.

My eyes flew to her face then. I knew the ballad, and I knew its end. “Oh Lady,” I whispered, caught in her violet eyes, “Forgive me my trespass.”

Reason tells me it's
Exceedingly futile
Seedy elements
Infect all as they
Study the Value
To place on a life
Arson, theft to them
No is not an answer
Cryptic responses only
Except I fight on
