"Let it burn!" they chanted. 
Clair touched the slushy sidewalk. "Didn't

they formed an ursid trinity in Christmas
pajamas.

stone hard enough to bleed. Oris fell... and deep,
stygian darkness embraced him.

"You're a keeper Tom. If I was your age—"
Her charm broke and all was rewritten.
A life revised, 20-year-olds kissed at midnight.
