The Overseer’s Garden - Part Six

Chapter Six The door closed behind Johnny with a hiss that sounded final. The two masked figures remained outside, their blank faces tilted slightly toward Jim as he loitered at the corner across the square. He leaned against the wall as though he had every right to be there, hands in his coat... Sign in to see full entry.

The Overseer’s Garden - Part Five

Chapter Five Johnny’s hand was still pressed against the warm glass when Jim spoke again. “ You see why I grin so much?” Jim asked lightly, though his eyes didn’t match the tone. “If you stop grinning, you end up in here.

The Overseer’s Garden - Part Four

Chapter Four Night fell like a curfew over the town. The city lights were never truly dark, but the glow after Affirmation hours dimmed to a muted wash, more shadow than brilliance. Walkways emptied except for patrol drones and the occasional courier. The screens on every block shifted from cheerful... Sign in to see full entry.

The Overseer’s Garden - Part Three

Chapter Three The Harmony Office did not look like an office at all. From the outside, the building resembled a greenhouse: high glass panels, sunlight filtered into pale gold, vines carefully trained along trellises that reached for the roof. Even the sign over the entrance was welcoming—etched in... Sign in to see full entry.

The Overseer’s Garden - Part Two

Chapter Two The city emptied itself like a drained cup after the Morning Affirmation. Footpaths cleared, trains sighed into motion, and the drone-lanes brightened with traffic, its red eyes gliding along prescribed vectors like beads on a wire. Johnny kept his pace steady, the way people do when... Sign in to see full entry.

A Love For The Ages - Part Eighteen

The Last Night In the upcoming staff patient report, Georgie listened as the CNA who had cared for Gladys during the afternoon. She said that while she wasn’t a nurse, she thought the patient was slipping badly. “ I don’t think she will make it through the night. Her breathing is labored, and her...

A Love For The Ages - Part Seventeen

Fine Details Georgie had to answer a patient’s bell, and Bill put his arms on his wife’s bed and sobbed. He knew she was dying. He’d known it for a year, but when the weeks and days became days and then hours, the reality of losing her was hitting him hard. Those long walks they had taken in the... Sign in to see full entry.

A Love For The Ages - Part Sixteen

The Unthinkable Gets Worse A slight buzzing sound stopped their conversation. Georgie reached into her pocket and pulled out a beeper. A frown crossed her face, and she mumbled about having to leave for a moment. The old man nodded to her, and she excused herself from the room. A small trail of... Sign in to see full entry.
