BREAKUP SCENE 7

A single tear rolled down the creature's face. 'Sorry, I can't do this any more.'

Evil had seen this coming, but no augury could ease the pain. Six months, nine days and thirteen hours exactly: the longest he'd ever been with a weredingo. And now, like Schwarzenegger's movie career, everything was so, so over.

'What gives? Is it my snoring? My reading in bed? The ballistic action of my stud muffin thrust pipe?'

With a forlorn nod, the weredingo said, 'No. It's because I'm a dog and you're a huma...

BREAKUP SCENE 6

From a WIP: Mari and Rabi Isaacs were engaged, but Mari was just caught spying and knocked out by a blaster. Miles is Rabi's commander.

Mari's hand fell to the floor, ringless. She felt it dully, and tried to open her eyes.

"No, no, you know how when a person gets murdered t...

BREAKUP SCENE 4

We went out to the garden after the last waltz and he asked me to marry him. He really thought I'd say yes. And I might have done. It was this time of year. If he'd asked in spring probably I would have said yes. But it was fall, and I thought how there were so many things I could do, and so little time; and if I married him that would be part of all the rest of my time, would change what I could do, make some things real and cut some things off; and how could I be sure that was what I wanted...
