I sighed as I saw the signs for Morrisville. My home town, the place I had struggled to escape over fifteen years ago; now I was coming back with my head hung low and my tail between my legs. It was humbling and humiliating. I had left when I was eighteen and never looked back. I wanted a career, I wanted a life, and I wanted love. I'd gotten the career, I'd...
Chapter 24 – Mirror, Spice, Flow Part I – Fuck-a-thon, Redux I stood up on the couch and slipped over the back. A move that didn't go over so well with the siblings. "Mooooooooooooooooom!" "Preston's jumping on the furniture again!" "Aren't you guys too old to tattle?" I taunted. Mom's melodramatic sigh followed me as I bolted out of the room....
Peter Grandon sat moodily in his dorm room staring at his literature textbook and studying for finals. He had read the same passage four times and he still couldn't tell what the paragraph meant. His mind was elsewhere. He was in the middle of a crisis. In a week he was supposed to leave for home on winter break. Four weeks away from his state college—books...
RICHARD: These guards stood before me, seriousness written across their face. I was so shocked with the news they just told me. The rage and hatred I had for Sir Socoshian subsided as I tried to make sense of this craziness. "You're," I gulped, "Lutna Clan?" "I am..." He said back, "We're your Guard now. You're all that is left! Sir Socoshian will not...
Thanks for all the positive feedback! It's been a delight to see my story come to life. If you haven't read chapter one and two I'd recommend it before moving forward. Again, big thanks to LaRascasse and Oldnakeddad for editing and advising! I am smarter than a 5th grader (or so it appears). (This is a work of fiction and all characters are over the age o...
For the Fans of Jake and Toby, For the time being this may be the end. They have their Happy Ending. But there maybe more. As you will read in chapter 9, I created a new character that might need to show back up later in Boston. I also am "thinking" about writing, HAVE NOT yet started. Again, "thinking" about maybe writing Jack and Toby's story, but we wi...
Author's Note: I have seen the comments and appreciate them! It means so much to me! I do type and submit in my phone and am new so I can't figure out how to reply yet! To add context to the story, they live in Massachusetts. P.S. I have plans and am currently writing the third chapter. It should be up within a week if all goes well! ***** *Adam's Point...
FYI: A past rape is mentioned but the act itself does not occur. ***** *Jake* The flight out to L.A. was long, I tried to sleep as much as possible, thank god my seat was in first class, I had tons of room and the seat next to me was empty. The flight attendant woke me up twenty minutes before we landed, which was nice because it took me a bit to get orie...
Chapter 10 - Peace Talks Between Leroy and Sue, Maybe? "Lee?" "Yes Sue." "Take me to Leroy's house." Allison head snapped up on that, she was holding Tiffany and helping her with her new sippy cup. "Mom?" "I want to see my son, please take me." Sue again pleaded with Lee. "Allison can you come too?" "Yeah Mom, I would love to." She looked over at her h...
