As a part of Six Sentence Sunday,
Here's a snippet of my latest story, 'Crave' which is a part of the Romantic Tales: Bedtime Stories collection!
Happy Sunday
Crave
The young woman sat across from her computer and endlessly scribbled in her notebook.
With headphones in place, the frantic pace of the newsroom where she worked did not deter from her looming deadline.
She was used to it; in fact she reveled in it. Writing stories about people, places and the things in her community always intrigued her.
From people doing good for others to the popular teenage girl that disappeared without a trace. All had a story to tell.

Weekend Flash 9/8
A Night Out!
The handsome bartender ran his index finger along the oak countertop of the bar. “What will it be? Miss?”
To celebrate the end of the work week, Kat was out with a group of friends.
While her thoughts filed away the stresses of another week, she eyed the watermelon martini her friend ordered. “I’ll take what she’s having.” she replied as she took off her suit jacket and placed it on the back of her chair.
The bartender worked his magic. Her mouth watered at the wonderful concoction poured over ice. Cool and sweet, it was a rich, welcome reward.

Ty Langston's Crave
As a reporter for the Wakefield Post, Harper Erkstine has seen everything. From murders to robberies, , all of her recent stories have ended with tragic consequences so great, that she began to question if she made the right career choice for herself.
While all of her friends were dating, or going to clubs, she was winning journalism awards for covering the latest drive-by shooting or a home invasion that cost someone she knew, their lives.
She loved her job, it was rewarding to be a crime solver and get to the truth of the matter. As much as she loved her job, but the hours of a Metro beat reporter began to descend her into burn out mode.
She craved balance. A break, a welcome distraction every now and then. She forgot what it was like to have fun, to take a breath, smell the roses.
Was it wrong to want a great career and to have some kind of a personal life? She couldn’t remember the last time she had a date or danced with someone from the opposite sex.
In the middle of working on a missing person’s story that has rocked her town to the core, Harper decides as a favor to her friend and colleague to do a feature on local an up and coming rock band, called ‘Crave.’
It was a break from her routine, but Harper soon discovers that this band may have ties to the missing person, not only does she question why, but she also finds there is more to this band than just their music.
Tigris Eden's The Genesis Project
Old earth has been deemed unsuitable for life, New Earth is home. With the Uni-War over, races have joined together in order to sustain their way of life. All life was deemed worth saving, but only one race failed to submit. Humans.
Now extinct, humans are a thing of the past, or at least their way of life. The people of New Earth won’t acknowledge their hand in the human’s eradication, but they have benefited from it. Dr. Vaggo Blackmore has found the answer, he’s restored his races way of life- sustenance through farming. The one thing that will give them back their long lives….. Blood: human blood.
Biologically engineered in a lab, Genesis Blackmore has always been different. Her father has told her it’s due to her enhancements, the Federated Council sees her as a genetic mutation; and her fellow peers see her as the shiny new toy. Gen has had better days.
Everyone on New Earth has milky white skin, platinum blonde hair, and electric blue eyes. It’s the norm. Genesis’ glossy, black hair, ice blue eyes ringed by gold, would have almost made her socially acceptable- if it wasn’t for her honey, almond skin and blue, gold veins. In a sea of milky white she alone is the dark anomaly.
All Pars get their life’s nourishment through blood plasma. All Pars find their match through the tasting. Gen can do neither, forbidden by her father to do so. She can neither taste, nor be tasted. Something that’s never bothered her until now.
Riley Ross' The Getaway
The Getaway isn’t your typical romance woman meets man of her dreams, loses him and then they get their happily ever after. It’s a romance story with hints of drama and plenty of comedy. Mike and Juliet have been dating for about four months. Juliet is madly in love with him but has never shared her feelings.
Mike hasn’t said those three magical words so she doesn’t even know if they are on the same page when it comes to their relationship. Mike takes Juliet on a two week vacation, so she can escape her family drama and stresses from her job. He has romantic surprises planned and there are several unexpected surprises for them both. How well do Mike and Juliet really know each other especially when an explosive secret from his past is revealed? Will their relationship survive a visit from his family and his ex-girlfriend? Will the secret destroy them or make them stronger as a couple? His mother has made it clear to everyone that she wants Mike back with his vile ex-girlfriend?
Will his mother sabotage her son’s relationship with Juliet? Juliet does have an ally in Mike’s father. Will Juliet fight for her love? Or will she let him go without exposing his mother for her dastardly schemes? How far will his mom go to ensure she gets what she wants for her son?

The Weekend Flash 8/25
Waiting
By Ty Langston
Anxious, the magazine she read did little to peak her interest. Her only wish was to be transported into a serene world where his strong hands worked their magic. It would be a welcome respite from her daily grind of playing nursemaid, chauffeur and dog-walker. His inviting presence could not be ignored.
Her disrobement was slow, deliberate; it was enough to take her over the edge. As she lay face down on the bed, his hand began its descent. It was cool to the touch, a much needed distraction of all the craziness in her life.
For more weekend flash. Please visit my girls' blog and comment away!!!
