Concentricity … 8

Ch 8 ~ Down the Rabbit Hole
For all she knew, the young romantic couple had sat at their table with their cell phones glued to their ears and with their free hands intertwined for quite a while.  Possibly close to a half an hour already or more.  Emily had lost track of time, not an unreasonable thing for her particularly [...]

Ch 7 ~ “How many words do you see a day?”  asked and answered by the Utne Reader and a few others (links embedded within the link to the Utne Reader)
Miles Thomas Brown was something of a genuis by far and away more than his employer Forge Myers.   And the redheaded young fellow with the laptop was every bit as [...]

Ch 6 ~ “He forgot to put his hair on, didn’t he.”
“I don’t even want to begin to know what you could possibly mean by that,” she said.  Somehow the ridiculousness of his statement had the effect of calming her nerves.  With each passing second, she was definitely further removed from the future — as [...]

Ch 5 ~ Moments Unforgettable
And yet she had the feeling that most of what he was about to say would be.

Ch 4 ~ Chaosversation
Shit.
That always freaks me out.  Freakin creeping up on me when I least expect it but never — no, never — when I want to know what’s ahead.  That’s when the door is slammed tight, but yeah sure, just wait, Em, just wait.  When the future is the last thing on my mind, yeah, [...]

Ch 3 ~ Membrane
She had heard of muscle memory and so when she flinched she wasn’t terribly surprised.  She had flinched this way for this reason before.  What did surprise her was the sense of time for this entire setting.  Because it wasn’t now; it wasn’t here.  It was someplace off…somewhere.

Ch 2 ~ Visceral

…in Dark Moon. 

The fourth entry in the Dream Series, the form of which follows Dale Innis’s “spontaneous narrative” approach.   Also the fifth entry for Alicia Chenaux’s annual ”Big Bad Blogger Challenge.”
 
 
Well. 
This was not what Dawn had expected.  Although…she hadn’t really expected anything because she couldn’t seem to remember anything.  What expectations could she have of a blank slate?  Well, actually, [...]
