On Oct. 17, my wife and I went to the annual Navy Ball in Philadelphia. I bought her a very sexy evening gown, and I was required to wear my service dress uniform. Once we got there I sat at a table with the rest of my buddies that I work with. Now I will stop here to give a little background. My wife, at 24, is eight years younger than I. We have been mar...
Outside the mall Chris was sat in a squad car, while the SWAT captain was talking to the police chief. A detective was in the conversation and Chris saw the older man nod and walk away from the captain and the chief. He made his way to Chris and pulled out a set of keys and undid the cuffs. "I'm Detective Sill I'm the one who'll be investigating this mess....
"Woah!" exclaimed Sergeant First Class John Doe, as the ground gave way under him. He had been seperated from his troops during an ambush, somewhere in the mountains of the Oruzgan province of Afghanistan. They hadn't expected much resistance in such a scarcely populated area and John certainly didn't expect a mortar round exploding less than 20 f...
INTRODUCTION I hadn't intended to write this story yet – it was one that was in the back of my mind – but the recent attack on Camp Bastion in Afghanistan made me want to complete it. I just hope I haven't rushed it too much. I also hope it will be accepted as a very small tribute to those who serve their countries in faraway and dangerous places. Naturall...
Quint rode the fence line in the brush. It had been a quiet morning aside from an occasional rabbit, covey of quail, or a stray calf. He had time to think about his time in Afghanistan with constant fear of death, the plight of the poverty stricken farmers, the treachery of the Taliban, and how it different it was from the relative peace and quiet of the Tex...
"Hmm, come on, Mr. D, we both know you love this ass," Madeena Wardak said coyly, and the curvaceous young Afghan Muslim woman smiled and bent over, outwardly sticking her bum. For most of her life, Madeena hated her curvy body, her surplus flesh, and yearned to be like those tall, slender girls in the covers of magazines like Elle and Cosmo. This sad state...
It was four o'clock in the afternoon with the sultry heat rising in the air as it always did during the summer in Louisiana near the marsh and swamp lands. The air was still and the lake was as still as glass. Sarah Weathers sighed and stood from her rocking chair on her back porch and walked inside, her mind drifting to another time and another place. Most...
XXVThe Pursuit of HappinessZoe2047 "Where the fuck am I?" Zoe asked. She raised her head from the down-filled cushion on the leather sofa and looked around her at the posters on the wall that depicted a random selection of teenage obsessions. About her feet was a scattering of discarded beer cans, cigarette papers and glossy magazines. A mirror lay flat on...
Prologue Sean Kline sat naked in a chair in the middle of a dark room. Actually he was strapped to the chair, his wrists and ankles were bound to the chair with leather straps. He looked around and wondered how long he had been here. The only light that entered the room was from the steel door whenever it opened. The room smelled like piss and he could hear...
Steve had been sitting still, eyes closed and relaxing as much as possible as Laura and Gwen worked on removing his bandages. He never realized that Amber O'Leary was in the room until he heard her speak to Gwen. His eyes popped open and he began to rise until Laura placed her hand on his chest and gently pushed him back. He saw Gwen step in front of Amber i...
