Renewing Forever \u2013 Virginia Wallace<\/strong>
\nMost of us wander blissfully throughout our daily lives. We pass in and out of crowds on a daily basis, willfully oblivious to those around us. Anonymity is comforting; it simplifies life.

But even monsters often seek a sense of normalcy. They run errands, hold down ordinary jobs, and sometimes they even get married. It is in marriage that the difference between plebeian and monster disappears, for all marriages suffer friction. Conflicts can be caused by issues such as children, money, careers, and cultural differences.<\/p>\n

David Wollstonecroft has always tried to be a good husband to his wife, Jillian. Jillian was born into a world of shadows, and secrets; she comes from a society quite different from David\u2019s, and thus their marriage occasionally falters. Lately, it almost seems destined to fail.

\nBecause if he can\u2019t, Jillian might literally tear him to pieces.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
