“I need answers, people, and soon. The President is not amused by all this.”

Ending line:
One physical reminder.

Darling:
The feel of Chaos enveloped him, slick and jagged at the same time, a cacophony of sensations that skittered along his nerves as he strode through the semi-lit hall. The orange emergency lights cast odd shadows in front of him as he moved deeper into the labyrinth, playing tricks with his mind.

I'm into Chapter 5 now. Yay! More tomorrow - very tired now.

starting line:
“Nikki? You ready?”

ending line:
To his surprise, they looked at each other and hesitated before Nikki said, “We went to my mother’s house today.”

darling:
“Thank you for that,” Alenya said, baring white canines at her mother. “Perhaps if your lover was trapped in a Shadow Cube by the misbegotten son-of-a-bitch who incidentally sired you, you’d look less than perfect as well.”

“It’s entirely possible,” Cassandra said, unruffled by her daughter’s vitriol. “Then again, considering that the misbegotten son-of-a-bitch was my lover at one point and is also missing, maybe you should consider that not everything is working out perfectly for everyone else either right now, and listen to us.”

Justin blinked, trying to follow the logic in that sentence. Either I’m more tired than I thought, or Cassandra’s being even more obtuse than usual, he decided, when it failed to scan a third time. Or both.

Lots of stuff done today - Nikki's found her house, and Justin's nose is now out of joint. Hehehe.

Getting up to write early tomorrow (really!) and then starting to work on Dreams at work if the phones are cooperative. We'll see.
