Samuel’s Creature
by Yaso Aki (八十 秋) (mirrors http://s2b2.livejournal.com/18383.html) “Hey, pretty. Want to go for a ride?” Samuel pointedly did not look at the man whose all too noticeable yellow eyes were leering at him.

Summer Fling
by Kemono Michi (毛萌乃享) (mirrors http://s2b2.livejournal.com/19508.html) It felt hot enough to fuse hydrogen on the sidewalks in Delta Dome, even under the fern-leafed pokpok and fat banyan trees that shaded Park Avenue.

Drowning
by Nara Kagerou (奈良蜻蛉) (mirrors http://s2b2.livejournal.com/20070.html) Dylan dreamed of drowning. First, there was the splash, and the splash hurt.
