  Just His Assistant - A Sweet...

  She's just his assistant, which is exactly how this Southern belle wants it. No spotlight. Not anymore. But as she struggles to learn her new role in his office—especially because Lance is the surliest boss imaginable—Jessie might just have to open her heart to show him everyone has a past they're running from. 
  Jessie:Lance Byers is by far the meanest man in Carolina. Both of them. All of the South. Heck, the whole country. He makes demands I don't know how to fulfill, like, "Bring me those closing docs," or "Set up that open house." 
  I'm trying to learn as fast as I can, but the real estate market in Charleston is like a jet plane flying at three hundred miles per hour. It moves, and it moves fast. 
  Lance is smart, handsome if I can admit that out loud, and entrenched in this realtor lingo I don't understand. He even brings in someone to train me, but I'm pretty sure I'm failing him on a daily basis. 
  Failure? That, I understand. 
  I'm determined to figure this out, though. I have to, because my only other option is to run back to Momma and Daddy in that big house I hate. 
  I won't. I can't do it. Which means I have to figure out how to deal with Lance's attitude, learn what an escrow payment is, and hide my secrets all while smiling and entertaining clients. 
  When a ball somewhere gets dropped and I'm about to take the blame, I decide to try one more thing...bare my soul to the meanest man on the planet. Surprisingly, I learn that Lance is human after all, and hurting just as much as I am. 
  I suddenly want to take him under my broken wing and show him that there could be a second chance for both of us...if he doesn't fire me first.

  There is nobody in the world who knows so many stories as Ole-Luk-Oie, or who can relate them so nicely. In the evening, while the children are seated at the table or in their little chairs, he comes up the stairs very softly, for he walks in his socks, then he opens the doors without the slightest noise, and throws a small quantity of very fine dust in their eyes, just enough to prevent them from keeping them open, and so they do not see him.

  In the serene depths of a forest, beneath the sprawling roots of an ancient oak tree, lived Bella, a timid bunny with a remarkable gift: a voice that spun melodies as delicate as moonlit whispers. While her forest friends frolicked in games, Bella found solace by the tranquil pond, where she serenaded the night with her heartfelt songs. 
  One fateful evening, Bella's lullaby caught the ear of Milo, a curious mouse passing by. Enthralled, Milo spread word of Bella's talent, drawing a crowd of forest creatures eager to hear her sing. Overcoming her initial nerves, Bella enchanted them with her music, becoming known as the "Singing Bunny." 
  As Bella's fame soared, so did her stage fright. Worries plagued her—what if she forgot the words or faltered in front of her audience? In her moment of doubt, Milo reassured her with wisdom and friendship, offering to sing alongside her. 
  With Milo's support, Bella faced her fears. Standing before the gathered animals, she sang with newfound confidence. Her voice, buoyed by the harmony of her friends, resonated through the forest, bringing joy to all who listened. 
  From then on, Bella embraced her role as the forest's beloved singer, inspiring others with her courage and talent. Her story became legend, a testament to the power of overcoming fears and sharing one's gifts with love and friendship.

  A Pail of Air by Fritz Leiber - The dark star passed, bringing with it eternal night and turning history into incredible myth in a single generation! 
  Pa had sent me out to get an extra pail of air. I'd just about scooped it full and most of the warmth had leaked from my fingers when I saw the thing. 
  You know, at first I thought it was a young lady. Yes, a beautiful young lady's face all glowing in the dark and looking at me from the fifth floor of the opposite apartment, which hereabouts is the floor just above the white blanket of frozen air. I'd never seen a live young lady before, except in the old magazines—Sis is just a kid and Ma is pretty sick and miserable—and it gave me such a start that I dropped the pail. Who wouldn't, knowing everyone on Earth was dead except Pa and Ma and Sis and you? 
  Even at that, I don't suppose I should have been surprised. We all see things now and then. Ma has some pretty bad ones, to judge from the way she bugs her eyes at nothing and just screams and screams and huddles back against the blankets hanging around the Nest. Pa says it is natural we should react like that sometimes. 
  When I'd recovered the pail and could look again at the opposite apartment, I got an idea of what Ma might be feeling at those times, for I saw it wasn't a young lady at all but simply a light—a tiny light that moved stealthily from window to window, just as if one of the cruel little stars had come down out of the airless sky to investigate why the Earth had gone away from the Sun, and maybe to hunt down something to torment or terrify, now that the Earth didn't have the Sun's protection. 
  I tell you, the thought of it gave me the creeps. I just stood there shaking, and almost froze my feet and did frost my helmet so solid on the inside that I couldn't have seen the light even if it had come out of one of the windows to get me. Then I had the wit to go back inside.
