Rook

a bench, not too far from the tables. We exchanged smiles and even kisses. I didn’t care if I looked silly, though. I only cared about Vinyl’s being. Soon, the semifinals began, and my eyes were glued to Vinyl. To her luck, she wasn’t going up against the champion. She was playing a pony named Icicle Spears, a stallion regarded as a well-renowned chess player back in his day. Vinyl was thinking hard, her hoof rubbing her chin.

I kept stealing glances between them, wondered what Icicle had planned for her. They were coming down all over the place now: Vinyl was advancing her knights and rooks, while Icicle advanced his pawns to charge forward. My eyes kept wandering over Vinyl, still thinking intuitively of the next move she should…

In chess if the pawn makes it to the end you can get promoted to any other piece, except the king, “the king stays the king” (D’Angelo Barksdale episode 3, The Buys) In this scene it comes through to the viewer’s…

They be out of the game early.” The way D’Angelo put it, the pawns are the ones that come into the came quickly and can get forced out or leave the game even quicker. The young dealers, especially Bodie is convinced that he, a pawn can make it the end and become top dog or the king in the game. In this scene it comes through to the viewer’s…

Rook Week ~ Hell Week What better way to enter the depths of Hell, than to become a Rook at Norwich University? Most of what goes on during your first week, and then on through January, is a verbal slaughter-fest. You are forced into an environment with minimal sleep, other’s expectations beyond your abilities, and a maroon bass ball cap (Rook Cover) that says “Rook” on the front of it in big gold letters; as if you did not already have a giant target on your back already. Day Zero of the week…

I am a Cincinnati Reds fan, so I really didn’t care who won the game, but two of my friends are St. Louis fans. I was more…

The Deputy sat quietly in the corner of the bathroom, knees tucked into her chest, as she looked at the door with a frown. She tried to make herself as small as possible while she hid in the already small bathroom. She knew it was coming. A few days before the present, Rook had smelled the change of pheromones and scents that he produced, indicating that his rut was close. Both of them knew it. Rook had locked herself away from the man whom she had been fighting just a short few weeks ago. She…
