Victoria went over for the seventeenth time that morning over her bland, watery eggs what had happened between her and Lola two weeks before. Now she was swamped with finals; she cursed herself for taking on the required seven classes, plus the three classes at the local community college. She had taken three classes at the community college ever quarter for...
They did not know each other well, though they had worked as night shift nurses together for almost a year already. Being twenty seven years apart - the years between them four years greater than Lauren's own age - the two were not exactly expected to fish each other's friendship out of the pool of about forty or so other nurses who entered and exited the do...
When I finally screw up the courage to enter the bedroom Tina is waiting for me. Her camera is ready on a tripod. A couple of lamps bounced off the walls provide soft, even light. My eyes go to the bed. "So what am I supposed to do?" "Relax, for a start." "I am relaxed." "Oh yeah?" She grins at me as though she knows me better than I think. And of course...
It was late in the evening in mid-June, as I stepped outside to head across to the neighbour's house. I had watched people walking in and out all afternoon in tuxedos and beautiful ball gowns. The new neighbours were rich beyond belief, having built a glorious house in our small neighbourhood. All afternoon I had been searching high and low for a half-decent...
"I made...something..." "You made...something...?" The sight of Melanie with a spatula made Jocelyn cringe. With Melly in the kitchen, it was a wonder the fire alarm wasn't blaring. "What kind of something did you make?" Jocelyn asked, with palpable trepidation. "I don't know exactly." Melanie turned her back on Jocelyn as she hovered over the glass po...
Artos came the next day, and he and the men spent much of the afternoon in conference; but it was only later I learnt what had happened. Such things were not, then at least, for women. There was almost a sense of disappointment across the next few months. From my trip to the Saxon lands I had expected something to happen; but nothing did. Merlin's prophecy...
So in being a writer on this site, and been contacted by other writers, I was encouraged to read ANOTHER writer's work, a young college student/stripper named Brittni. I am attracted to younger women and she is attracted to Cougars so we began to flirt with each other by email. I am a Philly Gal and she's a California Surfer girl...all golden skin and sexy l...
I could hardly believe it. I had thought those walls would last forever. They stood so high above the estuary, and as a girl I remember standing there, looking out as the fishermen plied their trade, before pulling up and the quay to unload their catch. The smell made my mother's stomach turn, but I loved seeing the various fishes and their bright colours. A...
Rajni was supposed to be very frustrated that night because the cot that she had somehow arranged to sleep on from the junk in her attic was hard and uneven. It was woven out of choir and her back was hurting. Yet somehow, it seemed like the best night of her life. She couldn't stop thinking of Kusum, her captivating grey eyes, those thin lips, her chin, her...
