It was going to be a long drive from Western Pennsylvania to Phoenix, Arizona. I'd be making it in my small motor home that I had spent a ton on getting it ready for the trip as well as it was going to be my living quarters once I got to Arizona. It only has a 6 cylinder engine so the gas mileage isn't atrocious but with the price of gas it was still going t...
"This year we have to win." Brad said standing at the window. There were three other men scattered around the room at this point most of them with drinks in hand. "We never win. It's always those girls down the block." Mike replied. He was nearly six feet tall, lean and black. Today he was dressed in a Stone Cold Steve Austin t-shirt with a steel skull on t...
"Why, oh why did I choose to travel Pakistan Airlines and that too from JFK, the worst airport in the Western hemisphere?" I questioned myself, as the security queue inched a bit further on towards the metal detector and then to the relative peace of the departure gates. Well, I had taken this flight because a single aircraft would jet me home to Karachi w...
Part One The day out. Three's a crowd, but four is... well read on and make your own mind up. But, please don't ask me what I think, I'm still coming down and can't think straight yet. Erotica. Probably the best exhibition or show in London of the year. Usually held around the middle of November, when it is cold and miserable out, but the heat in the Gran...
I turned twenty eight and no one noticed. When I awoke it was six a.m. Greenwich Mean Time, and no one had called. It was midnight back home and so I didn't expect any calls until late in my evening. But no calls came from my few friends in London that knew it was my birthday. I was lonely, and low on prospects. My two closest friends and I were going out...
Part 1 They were older when they met at work. Both had relationships that had not worked out. Both fell in love with the bright, cheery attitude of the other. They dated for a long while, not wanting to ruin the relationship with sexual contact. Instead they courted each other, sending each other funny cards and flowers and little gifts. They would leave s...
I sat here in the hospital room holding my wife's hand. She was a mess. She had skidded off a two lane county highway two evenings previously, sideways into a hundred year old oak tree. The car had hit the tree solidly with the driver's door and her whole left side took the blow when the car stopped and she didn't. Her left shoulder was broken and some ribs...
"Faith, I want to discuss your lab results with you. Your blood sugar levels are very elevated and as your doctor, I'm more than a little concerned about Type 2 or what we used to call 'adult-onset' diabetes." "But I'm only 26. Isn't that something that happens to people over 50?" she asked not wanting to admit yet again she had a problem. "I've been your...
Bern, Switzerland was beautiful this time of the year thought Violet as they exited the airport to take a cab to the room they'd be sharing at the Hotel Savoy. The weather was mild, sunny and bright. Violet had tried to pack light but that was nearly impossible for her. She was so surprised when he'd shown at up Seatac Airport that morning with one small car...
"So, here it is," Damon said, spreading his arms out in an exaggerated flourish like he'd just landed a triple backflip. Tomi surveyed the room, her new office, checking out its view and the plush carpeting. "Wow. This is... really nice." And for the most part she meant it. The office was modern in design and spacious, with a window overlooking the busy str...
