I'm now considered a Senior Citizen, having reached my 65th birthday last September. I now draw Social Security, but that is not quite enough to live on, so I supplement my SS with a part time job, delivering drugs for a local pharmacy. As a rule I work from about 3 PM to 9 PM about 4 days a week, which usually nets me about $180 a week after taxes. It was...
I had known Rodney ever since I moved into my house about 10 years ago. Rodney is my best friend's (Tyler) older brother and Jason's oldest son (step-son). Through the years of growing up with him, he seemed like a nice guy and was the oldest out of the neighborhood so he was like a protector to us who were younger if we ever needed a help from jerks. He con...
These past eight weeks have taken a toll on me physically and mentally. My anxiety about moving has morphed into loss of appetite, insomnia, weird dreams, and migraine headaches. I've tried everything to change my parents' mind to let me stay here in South Hill, but I've gotten nowhere. It's left me feeling defeated and miserable. It seems the only time I fe...
Many people go to college expecting to fall in love. Mark was not one of those people. He was a non traditional student and it had taken him a long time to get to this point. He certainly didn't want to be distracted by some man. Mark was moving into his dorm room. The school told him he would be treated like other freshman and he still had to live in a dorm...
Bailey's point of view. For as way back as I can remember Jeremiah has always been a part of my life. We had started kindergarten together and were just two weeks apart in age. We bonded instantly and he was like the younger brother I could never have. I didn’t have any brothers or sister, and neither did Jeremiah. I think that is part of what caused us to...
The dark sky continued to rain down on him its icy rain and sleet. Clad in only a T-shirt, an open button-up shirt, jeans and tennis shoes Jonathan turned to face the now scarce south bound traffic on I-75. He stuck out his thumb praying someone would have mercy on him. The cold had truly saturated his very being with its relentless glacial fingers. Knowin...
Several of my buddies take an annual trip, just the guys, leaving the wives at home and taking a week to do all that stupid stuff that wives hate; drinking beer, watching sports, swapping stories, and generally being guys. This year we decided to go skiing and found an awesome cabin in the woods near a major ski resort. Even better, the resort was near a ca...
“What’re you still doing here?” Danny asked as he approached Tyler’s open car window. His car was obvious, parked in the bus lane in front of the school. “The question is, what are you still doing here?” Tyler shot back. “You know what I’m doing here. I volunteered to help with the elementary school concert tonight. What’re you doing?” Tyler shrugged. “M...
Chapter Fourteen - My Plus-One He should not have cared for Yanis and the likes of that fucker, but Ruslan was insistent. And, after a short struggle that had ended up with him fucking his pretty lover up against the wall, and Ruslan biting into his shoulder hard while coming just as hard, there he was. Johnny wished he could just shake away the unpleasant...
In the small farming community of Beatrice, the folks have called Brent Greyson "Grey" for short ever since he had been a child. Now, well into his thirties, Grey still resided on his inherited family farmland just on the outskirts of Beatrice Country. Farming was hard work, and life hadn't recently been terribly kind to Grey, but he loved the land, and he e...
