Hello and welcome to my readers. My sincere thanks to you for your comments, feedback and votes on my previous efforts; I look forward to the same on this new tale. I hope you enjoy it. My continued appreciation goes out to Alex the Cat for her support and encouragement. ---------------------------------------- "Wahhooo, there it is. There's the old cabin....
Katherine had had a busy week with work. She had been at a small working conference at Lake Placid, in New York State, up in the mountains. Autumn had started to descend during the 10 days she had been a resident in the hotel, resulting in the trees starting to change colour, the leaves turning reds, oranges and browns. For anyone who has not been there, wor...
Kathi clung to the handrails on either side of her as the truck flew perilously down the dirt path. In the back with her were seven fellow adventurers, spread evenly around three sides of the open-air truck bed, all of them clutching the handrails as if their lives depended on it. And it did. Thirty six year old Kathi was particularly anxious for the two fe...
I woke with the sound of my alarm going off. It was 8:00 am and the thought of me going on summer vacation for a month without my best friend started clouding my mind again. Mia had some unexpected family drama come up and she couldn't go with me. Looks like I was spending a whole month with my grandparents and no best friend in Jamestown Ky. I was 21 at th...
My cousin Tessa and I are eighteen. Each summer, we spend time together at our grandparent's vacation place on the lake. It is isolated, but beautiful. Lots of woods and a long, but manageable, bike ride to town. Our grandparents are friendly, relaxed and easy to live with. We have to help with some chores, but most of the time is just having fun. I'm thin,...
Graduation! Finally free from university and, as of the moment, responsibility as well. It is early summer and work will not begin until the Fall so it was decided that a little vacation was in order. "You mean that's it? Forty miles back this tiny dirt road?" Alyse said, a little shocked. "Yup. That's it. That's the last you'll see of civilization, we do...
"Good morning sleepy-heads! We're on our way to ninety-three so get out that suntan lotion." It was not clear to Mattie what came first, the stray bright beam of light though the errant slat in the blind or the DJ's voice screaming once again what the weather would be. She knew she needed to find a new radio station. What she wished for more was a nice soft...
After an argument with her mother, Sherri Darnell accepts an offer from her Aunt Lilly of a place to stay where she can complete her art projects. It seemed to be the perfect solution, but a new neighbor presents a whole new challenge. Prelude: For those readers that are familiar with my work, it will come as no surprise that chapter one contains a limited...
MJ and Linda never fucked that night. However, Michelle walked back to her dorm that night very content with her first day of college. She had no idea what other experiences were going to come her way. MJ attended Tuesday's classes and came out with more homework. She was used to working hard in high school, but college seemed to take so much more energy a...
Lynette sat at the table by herself. She gazed thoughtlessly over the railing across the calm lake. Her eyes fixed for brief moments on the occasional jogger, cyclist, dog-walker, stroller-pushing-mom and other passers by. She never gave these people a thought. She used these calm, quiet summer afternoons to let her mind relax from the pressures of the day....
