The separate hills of sloping muscle in his arms tensed beneath his smooth, tanned skin like the movements of a symphony, each flexing in perfect progression. He leaned over me until I could feel the heat of his body against my face, planting his hands on either side of my hips, his lips close enough to graze mine when he spoke.
“We made a deal, Doctor. I’m here to collect.”

About the author:
Cynthia St. Aubin wrote her first play at age eight and made her brothers perform it for the admission price of gum wrappers. A steal, considering she provided the wrappers in advance. Though her early work debuted to mixed reviews, she never quite gave up on the writing thing, even while earning a mostly useless master's degree in art history and taking her turn as a cube monkey in the corporate warren.
Because the voices in her head kept talking to her, and they discourage drinking at work, she started writing instead. When she's not standing in front of the fridge eating cheese, she's hard at work figuring out which mythological, art historical, or paranormal friends to play with next. She lives in Colorado with the love of her life and three surly cats.
Did Unlucky make you want to do a leprechaun jig of joy? Did it make you want to shoot a demigod in the tots with a yam gun?
I’d love to hear from you!
