PURE WHITE 2014
“Did you...DO you notice something missing, Tammy?”
Brandon asked
his childhood friend.
Tammy pursed her lips and looked around the courtyard.
Shrugging,
she responded with a simple, “Nope.” Brandon
grunted. His Super senses
were tingling. It bothered him. Several
people had had the same nonchalant
reply that Tammy had given him,
expressed uniquely from each mouth.
He distantly finished their conversation, lost in
thought. No offense, but it
wasn't hard to carry on with Tammy when
she did most of the heavy lifting.
He smirked, pleased with himself
and mentally added. Pun intended.
“Hey.” Todd glanced from side to side before
guiding Brandon and Tammy
into a shadowed corner.
“Hey.” Brandon said, brow quirked “What's up,
Todd?”
“Yeah!” Giggled Tammy, amused. “What's the 411?
Do tell- I want all the
juicy details!” Todd frowned.
“No. Not today. I want to know what you know.”
His voice hardened.
“What I know? I know many things.” Tammy
said with mock conceit. She
was well aware of her shortcomings, one
being physically short and a little
slow in the head.
“We need to talk.” This was directed toward
Brandon. “Not here.”
“Agreed. When and where?” Brandon could see that
this mattered a great
deal to Todd, whatever it may be. He wasn't
joking this time. Todd seemed
on edge. His whole body conveyed
nervous energy, neck and arms tense,
showing veins.
“I don't now.”
“What about the old sanctuary?” Tammy
cheerfully interjected, missing the
tone of their words. The boys
stopped, considering her suggestion. Even oblivious,
Tammy spouted
good ideas on occasion.
“Yeah.” Todd said shortly, nodding. “That should
do.” He looked up, meeting
Brandon's eyes. “Grab something you
can eat on the go at dinner and meet me
at the Old Sanctuary by Seven
fifteen. Bring...only those you trust. Two people.”
Todd looked
away. “I need to talk with Sheile and Jesse next. Titus should be
fine.”
He grunted. It was decided. Now he let the fear set in. Todd
was in over his head.
He needed every able Super to... to do what?
Todd did not know, but they would.
Great minds think alike, but also
from different angles. Each Super was like a small
glass shard,
reflecting light from odd facets of broken beauty. Todd snorted as he
walked away. Never knew I was such a dawn sucker for analogy.
Titus will never
let me hear the end of it if he finds out that I
ramble poetry in my mind!

SUNDAY
Yesterday was Incredible!
1st, I got LOST.
Here's a little backstory-
I got up really really early for no reason 400 am.
Snuggled in the warm cocoon of my bed until 530 am.
I had gone to sleep, well, early the night before so I
COULD have gotten up and 4 am with 8 hours of rest.
Anyway, I kind of had a headache.
That is why I decided to BAKE instead of clean.
Couldn't work on my book. My laptop was occupied.
So I made CHEESY BISCUITS. Not enough flour for
a double recipe.
As I stirred a single batch, I thought,
"Gosh, I'll have to take half to boyfriend's house because there isn't enough for my WHOLE family!"
He was coming over AFTER church, but because of the CB
I decided to SURPRISE him by going to see him at his parent's
church. He says it is HIS church too, but we haven't decided where
WE want to go as a couple...
Got lost...
He SAID it was in the SAME building as New Life, but NL told me
it had MOVED to WST.
Guess what WST said...
Nothing.
The parking lot was DESERTED!
I had driven 30 miles out of my way.
I said, "WHAT THE HECK?!!!"
SO.
I went to New Life and had an awesome time seeing old friends <3 <3 <3
Then I went home.
My sweetie was suppose to come by 1 pm.
He was ONE hour LATE.
I had been texting his family all morning and had not heard a PEEP.
I knew he was fine, I KNEW he was in the hand of GOD...
but.................
I began to worry, then fret. Visions of bad things and silly excused swimmed
before my mind's eye. I KNEW he was fine.
I decided that was going to drive to his house and surprise him.
My parents said, "NO."
Went for a walk.
4 cars later my boyfriend comes down the road.
We go out. He came to visit my family, but we need to be alone for a little while.
I was to the point of tears. To be fair, I was quite tired.
We went to the park.
Walked the pier.
Collected shells.
We SAW:
hopping salmon
broken and whole shellshopping salmon
Calm Chilly water
TONS of jellyfish- in AND out of the water!
Many seagulls-
At one point, a dark shadow appeared in the shallows.
It was shocking...I thought it was a tiny whale, he believed it to be a SHARK.
Guess what?
It
was
a
Sea Lion!
We went out for
ice cream <3
There was a local single/double scoop shop right next to the park.
It was sooo yummy!
Then he proposed at my Grandma's house!
She had a ring and we took it with Grateful hearts. ;)
And, well- that was SUNDAY.

534# today's word count 2014
534# today's word count:
PURE WHITE
PLEASE DO NOT COPY WITHOUT PERMISSION. THANKS!
PURE WHITE
PLEASE DO NOT COPY WITHOUT PERMISSION. THANKS!
Dim light could be seen through the lab windows.
Security guards walked their nightly routines, shining flashlights in
nooks, corners, and empty doorways. High voltage weapons hung
casually from each man's hip. The evening was warm. It was a relief
from the intense heat of midday and late afternoon. Summer day-shift
was called Salt Water, something you wanted to cross off your
bucket list!
Todd watched silently from the shadows. As he stood
shifting his molecules in the humid dusk Todd become a
shadow. He narrowed his coal eyes, any stray source of light causing
them to glint from his hiding place in the alley. His skin rose and
fell a sandy gray, blending in with it's surroundings. Todd's skin
constantly changed color and texture, rolling...shifting. His
Talent. He had adopted quickly, loving the ability to go unnoticed.
Contrary to what people saw during class hours at the Rookie
Academy, as a Super Todd valued the Talent of stealth along
side his loud humor. He was good at both. Besides, no one ever saw
it coming- the obnoxious prankster, a Super night snitch.
He waited for the next round of guards to pass, lights
bobbed as they walked, flashing. Todd tensed as one stopped, having
seen something glint against the back of an alley wall. The
stilt house form of a boy stood plastered against the bricks. The
other guard gave his buddy a friendly shove. They moved on, the first
guard grunting as he followed his partner down the road. Another hour
and the pair would be finished for the night. Todd let out a slow
breath, heart pounding in his chest. He was getting sloppy. Either
that, or the guards were becoming better. As the program had
increased in Rookie Supers, more guards had been seen prowling
Academy grounds. Everyone assumed it was crowd control. Not Todd.
They were becoming better. The school had started hiring
better, at least. The new guys were sharp as tacks. Similar to
Shimmer Sabers- the ceremonial light blade. It felt odd to the
young man- queer. Something was wrong. Very wrong. Why hired more
hands with greater skill? As a concerned party and general 'know
it all', Todd had to Know! He was like a Rottweiler- handsome, but
vicious. Possible attack, but highly unlikely. Todd was a snitch. It
came with the territory. These thoughts flashed through his mind as
he moved down the alleyway, avoiding dark puddles. After the first
few sets of soaked shoes, you learned. Todd cautiously peered
around the corner, night vision- another Talent- raking the broad
courtyard for any sign of life. No one about. Good. That would make
his task easier. Most were settling into their beds. Crickets pitched
their whistled tune in the growing dark. Feet trod in the distance,
mutely sounding as old worn boots scuffed against familiar
cobblestones. The teenage boy nodded decisively, quickly advancing
across the courtyard. Todd hunched, hands sprawled high like wings as
he loped toward his target. It was a long stretch. His throat was
dry as he reached the key panel. Licking his thumbs, Todd shifted
and delicately pressed the small cushioned numbers as he typed an
access code he had snitched.
