A painful beginning leads to beautiful new possibilities. * Author's Note I spent a little time in the urgent care clinic recently, due to a poorly-timed bout of strep throat. As I'm sitting there in the waiting room, my mind starts turning, generating ideas. By the time I get home, the story starts forming. And, since the steroid medication meant to take...

You do not need to read Girl Friday to understand what's going on in Risk Versus Reward. But if you enjoy this story, Girl Friday should most definitely be on your rea...
(From A Suggestion By MordMorgan) Molly Kerrigan, like many people, dreaded going to the dentist. It was an apprehension she'd carried over from her childhood. The core of which was her fear of the dreaded drill.

Wednesday Belinda felt restless. The room was too small and there wasn’t enough air. She looked longingly at the door then down at the open history book on her lap.

I don't know why I feel that way, because it doesn't make sense; but I do know what's causing it and maybe if I put it on paper then it won't be in my head any more. Then maybe I can sleep again at night. Let the damn paper feel guilty....
Caroline awoke Wednesday morning, barely able to think. She was so excited about her trip with Dr. Clarke that she nearly forgot she had an exam that day.

She was driving the speed limit in her hand-me-down Chevy Cavalier and decided to put the pedal to the metal. She was only five miles from her destination: school. Krista was nearing th...
