Once again an english story with the usual ask of not blaming me too much for the bad wording and spelling of my writing in a foreign language. It was shortly after my 24th birthday in September when I had booked a one-week holiday in a small Spanish village called Nerja near Malaga. I spent the holiday with three friends (all girls) of mine and it was quit...
When boiled right down to it, it really was just one of those typical girl meets boy type of tales, sort of. I was a freshman in college with clouds of thoughts floating in my head about world peace, end to starvation, cure for cancer, and of course recycling. I spent the summer picking up litter around the outskirts of my father’s country club thinking I...
It would have been easy and tempting to have blamed Steff, and so there were moments when I did; but that would have been to have ignored the ease with which I had given into temptation; so more often I blamed me. Circumstance, of course, played a role. Teaching at a Women's College had many advantages for me. Having been educated in all girls' public schoo...
Megan Reece had always done well at school and thus it was no surprise to her family and friends when she graduated as a teacher from university. She had worked hard studying geography, her favour subject. Teacher training had been relatively easy too. Whilst her fellow students had enjoyed their newfound freedom Megan continued as she had during her schooli...
I was a fortunate young woman in Rome, the capital of the greatest empire. I was wealthy and of the patrician class. My family owned estates and thousands of slaves who worked our huge farms. Even though a young lady at age 18, I was not yet married off. I was also expected to learn the businesses of my family. So one day I found myself in the countryside,...
After Mom left to return to Elaine's, Jenni and I both said she would be back quite soon. It was obvious that she was torn by the decision she had to make but it wasn't as simple as where do we go for dinner. It was a commitment to a lifestyle change and we didn't feel that she was able to do that. Hopefully, they could part as friends, and perhaps occasiona...
London, 1855 A stunned crowd gathered outside the courthouse. It was the biggest news, the greatest scandal that had ever struck London town, perhaps ever. Inside the imposing edifice, which nearly resembled a red-brick jail, a woman was standing trial for having murdered her husband in order to live with her lover, another woman, who had just become a wido...
Nora Bishop, concierge of the five-star hotel, fidgeted nervously as she waited in the lobby. Mrs. Willcott would be arriving any moment, and if her last visit was any indication of what Nora could expect this time, it was going to be a very interesting four days. When her limo pulled up and Mrs. Willcott step out, Nora's heart began to race. Mrs. Willcott...
AWO14. – Introducing Lana Anne was in the fashionable reception at Excelsivor at seven sharp. On Ms. Sommers' request she had dressed much more conservatively than at their first meeting. She had selected her most formal secretary suit, one especially chosen for her by her goddess Jean the day she started her part- time job. She sported a dark grey knee- le...
Your comments and feedback are welcomed. It was lovely spring day and I was just sitting on the porch sipping tea, thinking, and realizing that I was about to turn fifty and felt very much alone. My husband died five years ago and I guess I never really got over it. We moved to this small Southern town from up North on a job transfer with hopes to retire he...
