As a extra credit activity for the junior college I was attending, I was engaged by the Ride and Board Stables as a helper for the summer, doing stable work and other jobs about the riding-school.

The track up from the valley floor to Mather's mill was comparatively easy going. Wide-berthed and heavily laden Lumber carts regularly came down the path that ran alongside the narrow, but rapid-running Slater Creek. The deciduous trees were thick here—still, after more than a decade of lumberjacking. The trees along the stream bed were mainly cottonwoods,...
I was eighteen and away at a summer camp just for the heck of it. I enjoy keeping my body in relatively good shape. I was no jock, but I had a slim build with subtle pecs and average arms, and camp was the best way to keep my shape. It was getting late one Thursday, and the campsite had good water pressure and temperature in the showers, but consider the un...

I will remember this moment forever. With a ten hour marathon of driving behind me, I looked at the stony hill beyond the road, the dried out lake bed on the near side, and the bright Nevada desert sun above it. A group of youngins sat in the sliver of the midday shade of an RV. One had green hair. One had cowboy pants and a bare bronze chest. A girly one ha...

The rest of the first week of school was tense. Nothing major happened on Tuesday. We received stares from some people, heard some whispers from others, and got a few smiles and nods. Rachel was only slightly better. She didn't say anything negative to us during English, but she did glare. Before lunch, Josh and I were at the entrance to the cafeteria waitin...

And why was he forcing me to do this rather than someone in his own service, from his own country? I wondered that so much that I asked him. "I'm from the American embassy. And all of my colleagues are known and watched. I can't ge...
