With thanks to Paolo of Wholebean and I Sarah and Mark's Story began here It had been a long day at work, though that was hardly unusual.

The Apprentice: The Academy, Part 3
Kyria's story began here Kyria flounced down on her bed with a dry sob. She bade the tears to come, to bring some relief, but they stubbornly remained hidden.

Circles spiralled out from where … Continue reading Losing It
