Fiction by Sydney Katt
Michael pulled away slowly and met her eyes with caution. “Say that again.”
A faint smile touched her lips. “I said I love you, Michael. I always have.”
“I knew it.” His grin stretched from ear to ear and his arms snaked around her waist. [Read more...]
With the headstart we had, Banks wouldn’t know I ran off with Jenna until it was too late to catch us, but getting to a country without an extradition treaty posed a problem. Unless I found a way to smuggle Jenna out of the country, she needed a passport. Mine was always in the glovebox. Even though I planned to tell her everything once we got where we were going, I couldn’t risk raising her suspicion. [Read more...]
Trista scrutinized herself in the mirror and realized she forgot to put on her earrings. She opened her briefcase and saw the envelope from Jenna. She pulled it out with the earrings and placed it on the table. Once she was convinced the sparkle they gave her ears was just right, she opened the envelope and removed its contents. [Read more...]
I successfully managed to avoid thinking about Jenna for the majority of the day, but when I saw her in the strappy black dress she was wearing to the reunion my mind flooded with everything I fought so hard to suppress. I made a conscious effort to block out the previous evening from my mind. Without a doubt, it was the single best night of my entire life. It wasn’t easy to have something like that and know you would spend the rest of your life without it. [Read more...]
The day went by far too fast for me. Collin and I agreed to meet one last time to go over our plan in the light of day. It held up to our scrutiny and we were satisfied we were doing the right thing. Several members of the clerical staff stayed all night, but still hadn’t come up with anything. They had a stack of paperwork left to go through, but there was still a chance they could come up with something in time. [Read more...]
Everything was as good as Sara could ever hope for it to be. This was the best time to make things right with Michael. Now or never, right? He was adamant about his feelings for her and the fact that he wanted to spend forever with her. It might be one thing if she didn’t feel the same about him, but she did. [Read more...]
It was well past eight o’clock before we had, what we hoped, was our Plan B. We knew Blackstone could strike at any time on Sunday, so we’d have to be ready for him tomorrow. It was a long shot, but I thought our plan just might work. [Read more...]
At five o’clock, Trista decided it was time to go home. All of the partners who weren’t in court left for the weekend hours ago. It was just as well she leave, she’d done everything that needed to be done twice already. [Read more...]
“Are you on drugs,” she blurted before the full ramifications of what she was hearing washed over her.
“No. We both know I don’t do drugs.”
Sara ripped her hands away from Michael. “I don’t know anything anymore, but [Read more...]
As soon as I saw the look on Collin’s face, I knew my decision to stay in bed with Jenna longer than usual this morning was a poor one. At only a quarter till ten, it looked like we’d suffered some new setback. I braced myself for what was to come. [Read more...]
Well, of course Michael would feel that way right now. But he didn’t mean it. He couldn’t. What he was saying…Sara’s brain simply didn’t comprehend it.
For a long time, she did nothing other than stare at him. What was she supposed to say to that? Did he even expect a response from her?
“Michael…” [Read more...]
Jenna’s behavior at dinner surprised me. Over the past few days, a fog settled around her, swallowing every shred of personality. But tonight she was alive. She was the woman I loved again. [Read more...]
As some of you know, I’m working on a novel to submit for publication this year. It’s not something I’m writing publicly in case having it online hinders my ability to sell it, but I will be letting anyone who’d like to read do so in a more secure part of this site. If you’d like to participate in reading the novel as I write it before I get it published, please let me know and I’ll send you all the details.
Please note: If you’re able to supply feedback on grammar, structure, etc; that’s a double bonus to me, but anyone who wants to read from a reader’s perspective and let me know what you think of how the story’s unfolding is fine too. I need both kinds of readers. 
For anyone interested, here’s the first story teaser I posted to the notes section on my Facebook page:
Somewhere in the world a child fights for clarity through a haze of unwanted drugs. Elsewhere, a heavy metal band takes the sacred oath to protect a supernatural being. In a Texas suburb, a fake internet psychic learns her dreams are more than just imagination.
When time itself is on the verge of collapse, these forces are all that stand between humanity and its unfathomable demise…
When Angels Weep
Yet again, Sara found herself unsure of how to respond. Michael’s pain was plain on his face. Of course he was upset about Paul. How could he not be? If she knew he was there… [Read more...]
Trista looked up from her stack of filing when she heard the door open. She’d hoped it would be Maureen, but she’d hoped that every time the door to the law office opened over the last four days. Client complaints were piling up and the other partners of the firm were ready to vote Maureen out if she didn’t have a damn good reason for abandoning her work the way she had. [Read more...]
