Although Scarlett was dead, I was convinced she would open her beautiful eyes and pierce me with a dark glare of sinful desire.

Angus was the kind of man who became King. The kind of man who put duty before love, and love before life. The kind of man who would die before bringing dishonour upon his family. The kind of man you never want to fall in love with. The kind of man who would always leave you wanting.
The wheels slowed, and my heart withered, a neglected fruit that would never again sweeten, now that my love was dead.
She was too young to truly understand our loss, and she was too old to hold in my arms. Yet, I wanted nothing more than to clutch her against me as we faced the burial of her mother.
“And thank you, Oh Lord, for the good book which tells us to be sober, be vigilant, when faced with the roaring lion. Today, we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”
An Indigo Bunting let out a trill, a cheery song, reminding me of better days, of hope and happiness and all the lofty promises a blue canary can sing about.
That man I once was, I must endeavor to become again. I would have to learn to be content to be part of one world only—this world. I had to forget that other world of pleasure and temptation for it was the path to hell.
We had put on the armour of God, and there was no undoing what we had done.
Our moral shepherd did not have the religious constitution needed to provide salvation for any of us who’d had a hand in this tragic event.
I learned the hard way that life doesn’t always turn out the way you’d want. The important thing is to keep trying to make it go your way.
The hand reaching for the chair stopped in mid-air. His other hand held a bundle of sharp instruments sporting multi-coloured feathers. He gripped the darts in his thin fingers, as if hoping they could replace his lack of plumage and win him a mate.
I decided I should also get Donald’s scent.
I spoke softly, “My people came from the Southern Colonies with nothing but tar and feathers on their backs.” I gave him a little smile. “They walked all the way to Canada to get away from buffoons like you, Donald.”
There was a time when a woman would not have been allowed on a seafaring vessel. A time when the mere presence of the finer sex would have tapped the sailors’ passions, made volatile by months at sea. There was even a time when it was believed that the scent of a woman’s menses would draw up the giant squid from the black depths. Those times of ignorance and superstition were fading in the face of justifiable reasoning.
The people on this ship were pliable like water, and she, hard and unswerving like the rudder, could easily sway their will. And as it was on sea, so it would be on land.
John Paul II held his right hand up to the crowd, palm out. It was meant to be an embrace, an acceptance of those gathered to view his holy presence. Yet gripped in the Pope’s other hand was Christ, strung out like sinewy taffy along a staff-like cross. It was a cruel icon that drew my mind from my own problems.
The feeling of falling, spinning end over end, shredded at my sanity like claws on silk.
I slipped my fingers into the front pocket of my skin-tight jeans and touched the dime I always kept there. Every girl carried the just in case you need to phone home dime, because every mother put it in their pocket. I kept mine in case I wanted to call the asylum.
