XXXVII Unto the Next Generation Odile 2109 Every funeral is a mournful event.

This story is told from the point of view of two people, Michel and Sally. Each section is prefixed by name. It is written for my enjoyment and hopefully yours as well. ----- Michael: They call me Saint Michael behind my back, some with reverence, some with disdain and others with suspicion.

"Did you really mean it?" I looked over the table at her. I was having lunch with my wife's best friend. And a good friend to me, when it comes down to it. "Mean what, honey?"

As I began blinking my way slowly into consciousness amidst the dark, dank single story flophouse Kevin called his home, I noticed immediately that I was alone on his sagging couch and not accompanied by Amber. I glanced at my phone and noted that it was stil...

Before I go further, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Mandy, and this is one of the stranger things you have probably heard, although I imagine you get...
One Month Later Sophia sat on her couch talking to her younger sister Alice. It had been a month since the train ride and now she was paying for it. "Alice it is horrible, I'm pregnant and I can't find the guy who knocked me up. I remember his face but not his name or the information he told me that night. What I'm I going to do?" she freaked. "Sis it is...

I grew up in a rather conservative community, and I was constantly deluged with messages that abortion was evil. I was generally rather shy and didn't talk to many people. While my friends always told me tales of boys they ha...
