Driven
So, I didn’t think I would write anything for this challenge, because the premise feels weird to me. When is the middle of my life. Has it passed? I hope it’s in the future. But here is an anecdote from a comment I left on Leslie Writes’s story, "Who Taught You How to Drive?”, about how I learned to drive.

Run with the Pack: Chapter 4
Bahr continued his relentless pace through the forest, onward to new ground, away from his family, his pack. He noticed the beginnings of the thaw as fresh shoots appeared through the snow. He picked at some promising looking plants, but forest vegetation provides nothing to stay the vast hunger of a ravenous wolf. He must find meat. Nights had passed since his last meal and many days had passed since, in his generosity, he had allowed the shiha, the she-wolf, to keep the dead bird, the bird that was rightfully his. Fool, fool, fool that he was.

Save One Bullet
The Funeral Chapter 30 Since I was the first to arrive, I wanted to check out how Mom looked in peace and quiet. Whoops, wrong Mom. This woman could have been Mom if she had been a little younger and less round. Her hair and face were similar enough.

Prologue: The Babe in the Woods
Lavinia’s toes scraped the ground with every slow stride she took. The skin around her tired lavender eyes glowed bright red against her porcelain complexion, looking puffy and lumpy and decidedly out of place on her otherwise flawless visage. She was so certain it would work this time. It should have worked. She’d completed every rite to the letter, followed every detail and done exactly what the Old Texts decreed: she’d fasted at the appropriate times, sacrificed to the appropriate Goddesses – twice – and endured the brutal mating ritual until she thought her body would break. And yet, despite all that hard work, agony, hope, and suffering… here she was in the exact same circumstance as before.

Caught
Chapter 5: Truth Comes Out "How strong was that sleeping spell?" I ask looking at Jade. He shrugged taking a sip of his coffee, "I just wanted to make sure she was out for a while. Or a least during this trip. I don't understand why we have to travel like them. We could have been in Michigan within three hours, not almost a full day."

The Sleepy Sun
On the morning of Penelope's engagement party, I found her basking in the glow of the "sleepy sun," as we'd so lovingly called it as children. Perched atop her favorite sand dune, a pink ceramic mug clasped between her hands, she had never looked more at peace.
