Suspended Reality – Part One
I had my stomach to the ground under a patch of bushes, legs tensed in case I needed to jump up in a hurry. The air was hot and humid, and the needles on the green-tinged plants above me were prickling my skin. I was sweating like crazy, and that made it even more sensitive…

Suspended Reality – Prologue
Something was buzzing. It was the noise that woke Taichi Yagami from his machine-induced slumber. He’d been in a semi-conscious state when his cryo-cell was jarred open by the jolt that had rocked the small room. Even when he’d toppled out through the opening and hit the floor, the machine that had kept him alive…

Simple and Complicated – Part Three
I was hovering. I don’t usually hover, but it was important this time. Takeru had just dropped me off, and I was standing outside my room, wondering if Taichi was in there. There was no noise from inside, but he should’ve been home from whatever movie he’d gone to see… Unless he was avoiding me.…

Simple and Complicated – Part Two
“They look like they’re doing okay.” I glanced away from my brother and his friends, giving Takeru a smile. “I guess so. You think I was worried for nothing?” “No… if you were worried, I’m sure you had a good reason for it.” He leaned back in his lawn chair and smiled back. “And from…

Simple and Complicated – Part One
I love my entire family. Really I do. But there are times when I think that my older brother was a vicious curse placed on this earth in human form to torment me. “They were cluttering up my side of the room!” “Well, you didn’t have to throw them out! I’ve come across plenty of…

Case of the Pearl Necklace – Part Three
I’ve died and gone to heaven. I’m serious here! I mean, come on – here I am, eating free pizza, sitting in a nice comfortable booth, across from the guy who just has to be destined to be my soulmate. At least, that’s what I keep telling myself. He is, though! He just doesn’t know…

Case of the Pearl Necklace – Part Two
“Okay!” I sit facing Ken, and try to sound important and in control. “Tell me again – who are the suspects, and what motives do they have?” Ken coughs a little to cover what sounds suspiciously like a snicker and nods. “All right. First is Mimi herself. It’s stupid, since her family’s rich, but she…

Case of the Pearl Necklace – Part One
It’s about one o’clock, and the Valentine’s Day dance is over and done with. But I still have to stick around. Why? Because Yolei Inoue, my short-tempered ‘friend’ with a mean left hook, had bullied me into it. Life isn’t fair sometimes. The only good thing about it is that I’m not alone. Mimi’s signed…

East of the Sun
“We’re what!?“ Hikari sighed and gave her brother a flat look. “Broke. As in, out of money. Out of business. Done. Finished. That’s the end.” Taichi stared at her in dismay. “But how…?” “You spent it all on that stupid western crap that you said gave the place ‘atmosphere’, you dolt!” she snapped. “Oh, never…

Dream Deferred – Epilogue
Epilogue “I have a couple of questions I’ve been meaning to ask.” Miyako stretched a little, and glanced backwards over the edge of the bed. “Now that no one else is around.” Daisuke frowned. He wasn’t entirely pleased by Ken’s absence – they’d been together a short enough time so that he still would’ve been…
