Danny and I met about five years ago quite by accident. But, fate has a way of doing many things that seem accidental. It was that fateful day five years ago when I attended a middle school function for my daughter Kristin. It was field day at the school. One of those end of year activities where the kids engage in competitions, both individually, and clas...
Finally the play was over. All those hours he put in during hell week had finally paid off. All that was left now was the cleanup. Almost everyone left even though the director had clearly said that she wanted everybody to stay afterwards to help cleanup. Alex was the only one left in the building. He had a few naughty ideas rolling through his head one time...
In August Stephen moved to Auckland to take up a fantastic career opportunity. Native to Newcastle, about 3 hours north of Sydney, Australia, he didn't know many people other than his colleagues, and while he found Auckland an interesting city, the evenings were lonely without anyone to spend them with. Potential friends came and went, but the romantic side...
A week before Christmas, I ducked into the fifth floor men's room. It served as temporary reprieve. The first among twenty or thirty things I could invent to occupy myself while avoiding the remainder of the company Holiday party two floors below. One other occupant was in the room. He barely registered on my eggnog-addled brain. Most years I managed to esca...
Alkibiades When I arrived at campus the next day we found out that our class today was canceled due to the teacher being in a car accident. From what I heard from the other students, the teacher was fine. That was our only class today so Steven decided to go off on his own as he had planned. Leaving me to my thoughts on this table in the courtyard. I began...
As I got dressed that morning I started to wonder what I had let myself for. I had volunteered to act as a Marshal in a Kiltwalk charity fund raising marathon walk from Glasgow and ending in Baloch Park. I had already attended a training session where we learned the course route, where the choke points were and the food and water stations. We also learnt wh...
I met bill at a charity golf tournament when we were paired in a cart. We became lovers that night and have been together for six years. About four and a half years ago we made a private commitment to be exclusive. We came out to our families and close friends at that time, certainly no surprise to my kids or ex wife. We did not live together because we thou...
Chapter 1: Truth and Consequences The tall, powerfully built, expensively dressed man sighed impatiently. Jackson, Jaze Kingston had been separated from his partner and he had been locked in a large, damp cellar. There were no windows and no other door and the assorted bits and pieces strewn around didn't lend themselves to being of any use as potential wea...
My name is Myr and I'm a retired assassin...well, I'm technically still an assassin. I quit a long time ago, but that sort of life doesn't just leave you alone. No matter how far I travel or change my appearance they always end up finding me...well that's not exactly accurate either; I always find them. Part of being an assassin is spotting others in the sam...
AUTHOR'S NOTE: I had planned on ending this story with the fifth installment, but felt like the story wasn't finished. So, I'm adding this part, with another on the way to finally conclude the story. ***** I didn't even want to go on that stupid field trip in the first place. Well, I did, when I thought Grady would be going, but his grandmother died and...
