An excerpt from abirdonalilactree's "Stonehard Optimism"

My heart is stone as are my legs and face
I cannot move but I will not lose faith
He will come back to me one day
We’ll be together and need nothing to say

I think I see him among the stars
In another galaxy, very far
Away but close to me, still
But yet I stay lonely on my hill

An excerpt from pilatesandpinot's "Eclipse Double Mocha":

Nina looked over the road at the Small Back Room and saw the lights were still on. Maggie dealing with her own last-minute customers who wanted to browse and snoop, but likely not buy anything. She snickered. Most neighborhoods of London had a coffee shop, a record shop, and a bookshop. Soho was no different. Tonight Maggie’s shop was the one being held up. Someone up there must’ve decided they liked her, all of a sudden.

An excerpt from EdnaV's "Mary Hodges’ Diary":
I also wondered whether it was the chicken or the egg that came first. I think it counts as “thinking about sex,” so I’m a bit closer to becoming a New Woman.

An excerpt from UnproblematicMe's "Mercy":
Another being might have noticed that the leaves on the trees were yellow and red... For the dark-robed being who walked the grounds now, however, it was just a forest in Autumn. Colours, temperatures, and smells were of no concern. Death knew times and places and names.

An excerpt from EdosianOrchids901's "Perturbations"

Shadwell tried to think of his childhood as little as possible, and distracted himself by putting his WA book on the bedside table. From the look on Tracy’s face, she recognized the hesitance, and just nodded instead of prying. “Well, I think you’re doing very, very well. It’s brave of you, bringing this up.”
“Away wi’ you,” he muttered, stacking plushies on the bed.

An excerpt from AnnatheHank's "The Second Arrangement'

Shax raised her hand but stopped when she felt an angelic presence behind her. She groaned and spun around, facing Muriel. She had been a little concerned when she heard that Heaven had already replaced Aziraphale after he left. If they had gotten anyone near as powerful or strategic as him, she might not have been able to inch her way closer and closer to the top of the replacement list.

Master is sad
There is light, so much light
And master likes darkness

He dusts our shelves, our shelves that are clean
He asks us “grow better”
We grow and we grow

An excerpt from Shanimal's "Do It With Comfort": Some days felt… easier than others. Namely the days when that big black car sat in front of the cafe across the street—the car soaked with Love that felt strikingly similar to the Love they felt in each and every book they read.
