It was snowing in Chicago. Actually, it was a downright blizzard. All traffic in and out of the airport had been suspended indefinitely. So basically that meant I was stuck working late until it was safe enough to clear out the passengers (after what happened last time, we'd just coughed up the money and put everyone in hotels). At least I had Colleen helpi...
I hadn’t planned on being in such a rush but sometimes the universe works against you. The taxi cab I took home from work waited while I collected my luggage and carry-on bag. I paid the driver an extra twenty dollars to rush me to the airport so I could catch my flight. The cab driver really must have appreciated the extra large tip. Not to mention the fli...
My fiancé and I had been together for four years, and had just recently decided to become engaged after he had graduated from college. I was a few years younger than him, so I was still in college. He had started his dream job and things were going very well for us, we even had enough money to buy our own house. The only downside to his job was that he was c...
It's daybreak and only the tip of the sun is visible on the horizon. Birds wheel and squawk across the grey sky as they're swept from the sea on a breeze that acts as an invisible magnet, drawing every living thing towards this shoreline in the middle of nowhere.

"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. I glanced down at my arm rest and I did indeed have a death grip on it. My knuckles were white and the muscles in my forearms were tense, and we were still sitting on the ground for cryin...
She picked up her journal, the one she had kept ever since she had learned about adult life, and as she turned the page she smiled as the memories came flooding back to her as she recalled the pleasure and knowledge they gave her. Her smiled widened as she came across an entry entitled "Hi I'm Candy f*** me..." ... Julie sat in the sterile lounge of the ai...
“Please place your tray tables and seat backs in the upright and locked position in preparation for our landing in San Francisco,” was the announcement over the loud speaker. “The current time in San Francisco is 6:00 a.m. We know that you have many choices when you fly and we appreciate you choosing United.” I didn’t have that many choices. Not for a cheap...
This story is longer than I had originally envisioned, the characters seemed to begin having real lives. I have shortened this down a lot, but it's a project I intend to complete into a novel so if I continue this story with other chapters it's because the characters are asking me to, not because I want to bore you, ok? * Shelle's eyes never left either of...
Exhausted from a tough work week, lesbians Abby and Sarah decided to go out of town with their gal pals for the weekend. They booked a flight while their friend Jessica booked a hotel for their stay and after much comparing & contrasting, they all settled on Miami, Florida; a welcome escape from the cold of Trenton, New Jersey all the girls lived in. Abby &...
