Scopes of Love (story & critique)

I didn't minded having someone …

Drifting Shadow (Full)

Plane soared the sky, splitted the clouds and zoomed through the air to get us to our destination. Chad, our pilot was one of a kind, as his skills were rivaling the fighter jet veterans. He managed to get us in a "no-go zone", evade radar tracking and reaches the point that seemed ungettable on …
