Simon cut the cards, Christine dealt. Alex suggested predicament poker, which was predictable enough. My name is Jo and I sleep with all of them, quite regularly. Not seriously, not as a planned or committed thing, and we all have secrets from each other, but we are, quite casually, in each other's beds whenever there are no other propositions on the hori...
Ding-dong, the doorbell rings, signaling the first of the trick-or-treaters on this Friday evening. I open the door of my rented condo to see and hear goblins, a ghost and even a ghoulish zombie yell, "Tricker treat." As I hold out the candy dish for them I look out to the yard to see the mothers looking at my yard sign advertising my after trick-or-treat p...
It seems forever since we booked the trip, but at last we're on our way. You sit beside me, excited as I am, looking out the window at the ground getting ever closer as we come in to land. The pilot announces, "Welcome to Jamaica. The temperature outside is 83°F and the sun is high in the sky. We hope that you enjoy your trip and wish you a safe onward jou...
A woman travels to Florida to visit her Aunt. She stays with her high school friends that are now married. "Bye honey, I'll call you when I arrive in Florida.

It's been too long since we've talked." I replied. "It's really good to see you." I said, giving him a big hug. "Have you seen James around?" Jay asked. "Nope. I hear he's...

Shane and Marisa Sherman seemed a normal couple when I first met them through my baby sitting duties. I was asked to baby sit their five year old daughter Molly on a regular basis. She was a delightful young child whom I quickly developed a real bond to, and she to me. I quite liked Shane and Marisa too; they seemed real nice people who made me feel very wel...
Part 1 I was just putting the finishing touches on a presentation I had to make to an important client on Monday morning and had just enough time to shower and dress and get downtown to Rob and Marsha's on time. I had been looking forward to seeing them again as we hadn't gotten together for a few weeks since we had both been traveling on business. Marsha h...
I'm scared, I've been scared in the past so I know scared. Forty something years ago I was a part-time rally driver, back before World Rally Championships in pocket rockets with their roll cages and radio contact to their teams and the myriad safety features designed to protect the drivers, I drove what was little more than a standard road car with knobbly t...
