    Avatar sat like a mute, amongst the elders of the village, gathered under the bawww.onedoor.ccnyan tree. It’s shade extended beyond the entrance of the old haveli, where they were guests of honour. They were seated cross-legged, his father, his uncle and the girl‘s father, sipping tea while discussing his engagement ceremony. Avatar could never understand why his father preferred to sip hot tea in a stainless steel tumbler, on a sweltering afternoon.He preferred a cool glass of lemonade with ice floating on the surface. He tried to sit cross-legged like the others, to please his father, but he felt his musc...UaEone door

    Well isn't this RICH

    The air was cool but she could still feel the bead of sweat roll down her back. She'd been sitting in her piece of shit car for the past 30 minutes waiting on the tow truck driver.

    A Love Song for Dolores

    TW: murder, gore, threats of sexual violence Well, I suppose I didn’t have to kill him. And I guess I didn’t have to kill him in such a gruesome way, but what’s a girl like me to do? I had to stop this. This daydreaming about hungry pigs and screams not heard. I had to get on with the mechanics of cleaning up the kill site. I herded the pigs back outside, burned the clothes I was wearing, burned the clothes he was wearing, and cleaned up the blood from the floor, though it wasn’t much. The pigs licked most of it up. They are so cute when they eat!My fingerprints were everywhere, as expected. I...UaEone door
