Words have power. Anyone who doesn't believe that should read Toy Box: Words and see the proof for themselves. From love letters to Scrabble to mute lovers, this Toy Box delivers on the promise of the written word. In This Sweet Trade by A. Leigh Jones, James Edward writes to his friend and lover, Bello, begging the man to join him in the seventeenth century Carribean. In What to Do On a Friday Night by Misa Izanki, Aoi is bored and goes looking for his birthday present from Itsuki. When Itsuki catches him, Aoi tries to cover his tracks by claiming he was looking for the Scrabble board. Will a game of strip Scrabble distract them both? And in Shattered Silence by CB Potts, popular fiction writer Gregory has not spoken since the Spring of 06. He only has so many words, and speaking uses too many. His assistant, Marco is determined to help, and Gregory finds that Marco's treatment works. Can he speak up to say so before it's too late?
