"I sought solace in the safety of his arms - the same arms he'd use to kill with a fire more fueled than one by gasoline. And I found guidance in the violet pools he had for eyes - the same pools in which he'd poison those who looked at him the wrong way.
He had pleaded with folded hands and bent knees for me to fix him, and all I'd done was tear him to pieces. Destroy him. Ruin him. I had buried an angel.
It hits me like an injection to my bloodstream.
I am in love with Felix Vaughn Clarkson.
But Felix Vaughn Clarkson can't love

He presses his face into her shoulder and crumbles as our bodies offer up shudder after shudder of release until all that remains is a quivering suspension of movement and then silence. I run my fingers through his damp curls, the smell of sweat mingling with the various aromas of the candles – vanilla and pumpkin that is intertwined with the lingering salt…

    Daniel Pink, author of the book, Drive, claims that the outdated motivational method of carrots and sticks is no longer applicable to most of the world.

The trio is intended to fuel anybody who has a long or short term goal and it allows a person to not only better themselves, but continue to better themselves over the course of time.…
