Dear Mr. Right, I don't know you yet, I haven't found you, but I wanted to tell you about some of the things I hope we can experience together. Forgive me if my writing is sporadic and unrealistic. As you will know, by the time and/or if I let you read this, I am limited in my experience, so I may not fully know what is and isn't possible. As you know, you...
Polly+Anna (+Lance+Dale) - by Polly+Anna (1401 words) Nice to meet you, welcome aboard. (1/24/2020) Our story arc began 11/12/1993 the day after the youngest of us turned 18. Friday - January 24, 2020 "Nice to meet you, and welcome aboard Island Air flight 50 to Ambergris Kaye." I said, "I'm Polly, your pilot on this journey. While it's just another workd...
Last September, my husband got called away on another business trip. He didn't often leave the states, but this time he had to go to London. He had been there three or four times in the past, but I was never able to go with him. I knew he liked London because he would always come home and tell me about it. Mostly the nylons. Apparently, most women in London...
The late sun sank in their wake as the Cessna droned along. Its altimeter indicated five thousand five hundred feet above mean sea level. The tops of distant cumulous clouds caught the setting rays and glowed titanium white against the watery eastern sky. As they dripped towards the sea the setting sun painted them fading shades of peach and rose. Stephanie...
That Eddie met Svetlana at all was implausible at best. Oh, don't get me wrong. Lot's of guys meet strippers. It happens every night. Eddie met 'Star' as, he was sure, had hundreds of other guys. That was her stripper personality. It was when she revealed her true name, her true self, that Eddie met Svetlana. She was 22, with long, flowing, brown hair, hypn...
The Airplane Kathryn M. Burke I got to the Philadelphia airport well in time for my night flight to San Francisco. I can't say I'm fond of red-eye flights, but I don't like wasting a whole day just going from one coast to the other. Anyway, I'm young (twenty-four) and healthy, so I can sacrifice a little sleep every now and then. I was flattered that m...
[a little note: surgery as expected a week ago, an unexpected post-op infection intervened and I'm in a new hospital, trying to beat that back. Well enough today to write, so finished this chapter. Not on email (Sorry, Christian). More as I know it...A] Part IV Chapter 30 ____________________________________ Callahan and his spotter were standing in a fi...
Dr. Winderly and Jim had only a little time to make all the arrangements. Gear to pack and connections to make, but they had enough money to get it done in the time they had. In what seemed a blink, Jim found himself on a 747 over the ocean. Dr. Winderly was curled up on the seat next to him leaning against the window. The middle seat was empty, so she was...
"I can't believe you won!" Lisa exclaimed to Alan. "Neither can I. I bought the raffle ticket just because those kids were fundraising and I had an extra $5 in my pocket. I never win these things. You do, but I don't." Alan responded. It had been a surreal holiday night. They had received a phone call from someone they hadn't recognized on the caller ID,...
I hate airports. Glazed eyes, body odor, travel-zombies trudging about glancing at their boarding passes over and over again, the information apparently never penetrating into their brains. The food is expensive and always sub-par, the whole place smells like canned air and, mystifyingly, cigarettes, despite the smoking areas being sealed off away from the g...
