"How are you feeling?" Zabi asked as she placed the glass of fruit juice on the bedside table. "Like I'm dying." Alex replied. "Are you sure I haven't caught malaria?" Zabina sat on the edge of the bed and tenderly felt the temprature of Alex's head. The fever had dropped off a great deal over night, and truth be told she had been a little worried about ju...
The last song was finished and the crowd at the venue was cheering around her. Bee held up her guitar high above her head and leaned into the mic, "Thank you so much for having us Austin, good night!" The crowd roared back in response and Bee gave a few waves before stumbling away from the stage with her band. It had been night after night after night on t...
For 51 year old Kelly Flynn, owner and operator of The Village Inn, a rather rundown dive bar in the sleepy town of Newport in central New York, March 20th was just another day. Because Spring had not yet come she would only get the locals, and so soon after many of them had tied one too many on for St. Patrick's Day, the bar would likely be quiet. For Deni...
"First time flying?" I heard a soft voice speak to me. "Yes. Is it that obvious?" I asked. "Well, either that or that arm rest owes you money!" she said with a laugh.

When her namesake united the squabbling nations of these islands, she doubted the woman would ever have foreseen the urban sp...
"I'm beat! These exams are wearing me out," Beth exclaimed as she plopped down in the coffee shop booth. "I was up 'til three last night...and the night before!" she added. "I hear you. I am wiped out too," her friend Jill agreed. She, too, sat down heavily into in her seat. "It's great to be finished with biology though. That was my last exam." Beth studi...
Stephanie Rollins slowly approached her young, unsuspecting co-worker, Rose Matthews, who had just joined the legal firm three months ago. Every time she gazed at the young, twenty-one-year-old brunette, Stephanie was practically panting like a bitch in heat. Finally, after the big boss, Nathalie Partridge, and the three other partners—of which Stephanie was...

I was looking at them and finding my self actually attracted - sexually - to them. Now for me that was a big problem. I'm Ja...
Morning came way too early. Everyone had just piled into the two bedrooms and crashed. I looked over at Robin and Julie, who had joined me and saw they were still out. I managed to get out of bed went into the bath. I brushed my teeth while allowing the shower to warm up. As I got in, the hot water felt so good, soothing my aching body from the night before....
As I drove home, I looked at the clock on my dashboard and was shocked to see it was nearly two o’clock in the morning. I felt drained and emotionally exhausted, and I was not sure how I would manage to get through my performance later in the evening.
