I hadn't set out to do it. I had never thought about it or planned such a thing. It just wasn't me, it was not my thing, well it had never been until then. Something must have changed, but was it with me, was it circumstances or what? * I was Acting Head Copywriter in a big ad agency. Acting, because I was not a full time employee, but a freelancer, as the...

If you don't need me for anything else," the blond young man said as he picked up the small pile of folders off his boss's desk. "I'll put these away and take off." "Of course Tim," Jacqueline Kirby smiled. "Enjoy the weekend." As the 22-year-old assistant closed the door behind him, Jacqueline leaned back in her chair and pulled a magazine out from the to...
"Who's that?" Cammie Waters asked Lou, the owner of Leather & Lipstick, the only lesbian bar in town. "Don't know," Lou responded as she set a Tequila Sunrise in front of Cammie.

This time that ain't gonna happ...

Introduction Oh good grief I cannot believe I'm doing this. Normally I'm supremely calm, cool and collected. Right now I'm shaking like a leaf. I honestly cannot remember being anywhere near this nervous, ever, ever, ever. When I fought my first UK inter-university karate final I wasn't even a tenth as tense.

I used the death of Princess Diana as a backdrop to the final scene because it seemed to add some realism to the story.
