Rider 7

Ch 7 Riddick woke a few hours later and laid in bed beside Shazza for a little longer after that. He didn’t sleep well, never had. Wasn’t used to safety and now even though he knew he was safe he was restless. He watched her sleep for a little longer before he slipped out of [...]

Rider 6

Ch 6 Jack hadn’t wanted to leave Shazza and Riddick, but she would be right next door. Shazza made a point to leave the door between their rooms unlocked. Didn’t want to leave the door wide open, not after she had watched the both of them in the shuttle, she had seen more than enough [...]

Rider 5

Ch 5 At least he was alive. Theo rested back against the headboard and tried to get comfortable; after all, he wasn’t about to go anywhere, at least not yet. Riddick was supposed to be some sort of escape artist, and he had checked the room out thoroughly, he had poked at the vents and [...]

Rider 4

Ch 4 When Theo saw the ships’ lights flicker off across the console, he decided he had taken about all he could take of Andreas. The ‘accidents’, the fires, even the explosions; the whole crew would mutiny at some point. He had lost four good men earlier, they had demanded to be let off at [...]

Rider 3

Ch 3 Riddick seemed to all but disappear into the shadows behind the storage bins. Shazza would never even know he was there if she couldn’t feel him; he never moved, save once, when he pulled Jack back into the darkness behind him. It was hypnotic to watch the light from the front shield flicker [...]

I Can’t Let You Go 45

::FORTY FIVE:: Jeanette hands me a cup of coffee and I move back a little, making room for her to sit in front of me on our back porch, offering her my hand as she steps gracefully over one of the planters. It’s mid-summer and our yard is a riot of the pink daisies she [...]

I Can’t Let You Go 44

::FORTY FOUR:: It’s twenty seven steps from one side of the room to the other. Thirteen, sometimes fourteen, of those steps to cross from one side of the table to the other. I know only because I’ve counted it, over and over again as I paced back and forth. “You’re going to wear a hole [...]

I Can’t Let You Go 43

::FORTY THREE:: The soft knock at the back door sounds strange and at first I thought I had to be dreaming. I woke immediately when I heard the door open. It only sounds strange because I’m listening to it from outside. It’s Alvarez, being quiet, but he’s still making sure he makes enough noise to [...]

I Can’t Let You Go 42

::FORTY TWO:: I had fallen asleep as we had curled up together on the porch glider out back. I insisted she go back to her book, all I wanted was to sit with her. To just be with her. It was a little strange at first because when we’re around each other, all we want [...]

I Can’t Let You Go 41

::FORTY ONE:: She said yes. I couldn’t breathe and I thought I would die if I kept kissing her. Swallowing hard, I pulled her tightly to my chest and buried my nose in her hair, just trying to breathe and not cry. I’m not doing a very good job of it though. She said yes.
