Author's note: This is the first part of a very long story. It is a work of fiction and if you are looking for something quick, this is not it. I hope it will be enjoyed. Comments and votes will be appreciated. * Katelyn read the first two lines of the second paragraph on page twenty of the manuscript for the third time and still it made no sense. What w...
Chapter One -- The Ride After working a bit later than usual on a Friday evening, I decided to take an Uber home instead of walking over to the light rail. Darkness has already settled in for the evening, and given the fact a cold rain is pouring down outside, a warm ride home seems like a simple reward for a long week's work. Moments after thumbing in my r...
CHAPTER 58 "Olivia, please stop." The voice calling me from behind makes me turn on my heels and I find Angie coming towards me. "You left the shop more than an hour ago! What are you still doing here? And why are you almost running in the opposite way of your bus stop! Is everything alright?" she asks. I can sense the true concern in her voice. She know...

She slapped at the mosquito that had landed on her arm and continued pulling gear out of the trunk of her car. They had packed enough to camp for a few days in the mountains, so there wasn't much to unpack. The sun was almost at full s...
Once again, a noise interrupted the quiet morning, but it rolled over Meaghan with little reaction. She was finally distracted from her reverie, however, by the unmistakable sound of voices.

This is my first year teaching at a university level. I thought that college students would be different. You know wanting to learn being respectful of their professors. There always seems to be that one student that has to push things. Sitting here, at my desk, I wait for my problem student Rachel. She is meeting with me to discuss her attitude and performa...
