A clip from “Vexars: Heroes Who Annoy”:
A few hours later, Roger Hill and his four friends are in his cousin Numb's laboratory, which happens to be inside the peak of a Canadian mountain. The place is often referred to as Numb Mountain.
Bo McWierd, Numb's twin brother, lays on a sofa. “I don't believe it,” he says astonished. “They actually passed the Vexar project.”
Roger, who paces back and forth across the rock floor, thinking, responds, “See what a little bit of faith can accomplish?” Roger stops pacing and smiles. “They even insisted that I appoint my highest ranking staff.”
“So, what roles do we play?” Fonz asks excitedly, sitting straight up from his slouching position in an armchair.
“You will be my second-in-command,” Roger smirks as he answers his best friend. “Amy will be our Head of Defense, Numb will be our Head of Offense, and Bo will be our Head of New Memebers and Repairs.”
“You might want to rethink that,” Numb states matter-of-factly. “Bo can't repair anything. When he tries, the object he's repairing never works again.”
“You are only saying that because he's your brother,” Roger rebukes.
“Really?” Numb asks. “Who was the last person to work on your toaster?”
“Speaking of my toaster,” Roger begins, “it has been a month and he's still not done fixing it. I have toaster parts all over my counter.”
“He's your identical cousin,” Numb reminds him.
“He's your twin brother,” Roger argues. “However, I see your point. We'll hire someone to do the repairs.”

A chapter from “Suspected Spouse” by Bryde:
Chapter 1
Bethany, a 25 year old married woman, finds out her husband of 3 years, Tristan, is going on a date to a Christmas party for his work. "Why didn't he even bother to tell me about the part?" she asks herself.
"Quit whining, he doesn't deserve you anyway," she heard in response.
"Whose there?" Bethany panicked.
"Oh Beth, don't you recognize me? I'm Heather, your best friend from Kindergarten. We did everything together." was the answer she heard.
"But you're not real, you never were!! You can't be here now, it's not possib le. I"M NOT CRAZY!!!"
To which Heather calmly responded "Of course you're not sweetie. I'm just here to help you through this rough patch in your life. You need a friend, so here I am."
Bethany's walking around her house feeling like she's going crazy. "Will you please sit down? You're driving me insane Bethy."
"Really Heather? Really? You're just a voice in my head, and I'm the one driving you nuts?"
Just then Tristan walks in "Who are you talking to honey?"
"Nobody, I'm just thinking out loud."
"Oh, Okay" he answered questioningly.
"So, who are you going to the Christmas party with?" She asks.
"Just a friend from work."
Bethany decides she's going to try to calm herself by making one of her favorite dishes--breakfast pizza. She hollers for Tristan "Hey, dinner's done!"
They were eating dinner when all of the suddenTristan fell out of his chair, unconcious.
"Oh myGod Heather!! What did you do? Call 911!!!"
