    The Fortunate Son By Karen Lankford-Carnes This isn’t ideal, by any stretch of the imagination. Siobhan thought as she punched her timecard, in only eight hours. I can do this.Just find a purpose, a reason forwww.onedoor.cc being here. Some reason. “I really, really hate this gig. How am I working in a restaurant? It’s not even a clever cliche. “Malarkey!” That's what he said, with conviction,no less. Siobhan couldn't even whisper it without going into one of her uncontrollable laughing fits.She had more and more of these as of late. Here she was, a 32 year actor.

With Ariana's flawless oval face, framed by jet black curls, his tongue became as stubborn as Uncle Festus ol...T3hone door

    No Longer Friends, and Friendships Brand New

    The house is glossy midnight blue, fresh-painted, and perfectly framed through my speckled bedroom window. I'm mildly surprised by the sudden curb appeal that the house has gained from its new paint job. The place hasn't looked so clean and new in the six years my family's lived across the street from it, and I always thought of it as a lost cause. If every street has a slightly haunted, probably abandoned old wreck of a house, this one was ours, but it's really cleaned up."Watcha think?" Khloe holds out a hand for my inspection.I glance over the sparkly blue and purple nails, each boasting a ...T3hone door
