Chapter Twelve; Part One “Liz! What are you doing here?” It was Friday night, and my sister had shown up unexpectedly. Again, she got into the building without me buzzing her up. This was happening more frequently than I liked; I reluctantly decided to call the landlord first thing Monday morning during my prep hour… Continue Reading
Dogged Ma; chapter eleven
Chapter Eleven “Delivery for Margaret Wang.” This was getting to be a regular occurrence. I had just gotten home from work Monday night and had been about to check my messages when my buzzer rang. “I’ll be right down.” I hurried downstairs and peeked at a delivery guy who was holding yet another bouquet of… Continue Reading
Dogged Ma; chapter ten, part one
Chapter Ten; Part One “We must first fill the room with incense.” Wind had been gracious enough to come over that night in answer to my urgent plea. I knew that I had to seal that damn portal, no matter how much I wanted to remain connected to Lucifer. “We need to chase the bad… Continue Reading
Vacation, had to get away

Dogged Ma; chapter nine, part three
Chapter Nine; Part Three “Delivery for Margaret Wang.” “I’ll be right there.” Another one? Who could it be this time?

Dogged Ma; chapter nine, part two
Chapter Nine; Part Two I settled back to watch the movie, enjoying being with ‘my people’. Oh, I knew that was more fantasy than reality, but it was nice to be surrounded by Asians. Even better, people had no compunctions about yelling things at the screen, so it was more of an interactive experience than… Continue Reading
Dogged Ma; chapter nine, part one
Chapter Nine “Girl, what are you wearing to dinner with Ted?” It was Ned on the horn, of course, as I drove home from work. “It better be something fierce. He’s a great catch, and I just wished he swung my way.” “I’m glad he doesn’t,” I retorted, executing a quick lane change to avoid… Continue Reading
Dogged Ma; chapter eight
Chapter Eight “Margaret! Let us in!” It was Thursday night, and someone was banging at my door. Shit. It was Wind and Ned. Again, somebody had let them in.

Dogged Ma; chapter seven, part two
“Is this Margaret?” It was definitely Alan. “It’s Alan. Look, love, I just got out of the meeting, and I’m on the way to the hotel to change. My driver tells me I should be there by six, six-fifteen at the latest. I’m looking forward to seeing you.” “Me, too,” I echoed, clutching the phone… Continue Reading
