by shukyou (主教) (mirrors http://s2b2.livejournal.com/104770.html) Reagan Henry’s the kind of girl who doesn’t like the word ‘no’. So I agree to drive her to Florida and back. I linger closing up at the restaurant as long as I can, until Mr. Diaz is practically pushing me out the door, and I drive around the block […]

Epilogue
by Yoshiyo Hotaru (昌夜蛍) (mirrors http://s2b2.livejournal.com/104999.html) They’ve been travelling now for almost five days, following the river from Rylos as it winds its way through farmland and lightly-treed meadows, stopping to rest at night and continuing on again in the morning.

The Lady’s Luck
by Eleonora (mirrors http://s2b2.livejournal.com/105447.html) I did not want to know back then. Maybe everything was just too overwhelming.

Drive
by Matty Groves (mirrors http://s2b2.livejournal.com/106566.html) We’ve been driving since yesterday morning. It’s so very tempting and strange and perfect, captured there in the rising dreams and rising fog of the morning sun, so perfect…and then you’re on the road and you can smell the gas and the car’s full of artifacts of your past five […]

The Last Wild Place
by Karigane (雁) (mirrors http://s2b2.livejournal.com/106980.html) “A person becomes a person through other people” – South African proverb * Xolisa never lived alone if she could help it.
