4 Karen stood in front of the sign she had seen the night before and thought 'A hotel? Why would I dream about something so weird?' She was broken from her musing as she spotted a dark haired man who looked just like the man she saw in her dream the previous night. She got a tingling sense of intuition that she really should go and talk to him. So as he app...
[As a young man I knew quite a few girls who loved to tease, and never paid off. As a bouncer, years later, I learned something about the danger of teasing.] * The first time I remember seeing her was in the back room of Mike's Bar. She was wearing tight faded jeans, scuffed boots, a pink chemise, her hair was bra length, blond and wild. She was bent over...
It was the first project of which Trish had been in charge. The Consortium was bidding for the Lorne Park site to be used for luxury apartments and on Monday morning Trish would meet the contractors and surveyors at the site to decide if they could convert the old building or if they needed to demolish and build from scratch.

Chapter 2: More Exposure to Anne's World The next day, a Tuesday did not start well. Anne was not in bed, nor in my apartment, she had gone. I fretted a while and got ready for work.

And I don't dare show up at my apartment, it's been staked out." "Matt, let's look at your options. According to the will, the money is to be distributed to either the Pregnancy Center OR to the Abortion Clinic. Cor...
Seems like you spend all your time here at the Library anymore. I can't wait for you to finish your thesis so we can get back to our normal relationship. You're not at your usual table, but I notice your book bag, so you must be close. I begin to wander the stacks and there you are.

It seemed my life as a wife and mother at age 37 was one big blur watching myself age, never moving forward nor back, just hovering in one spot as all the other people in my life circled around me.

Late home from work, he wearily walked up the path, desperately in need of some relaxation. The conference had been tedious – debating issues with stubborn, uninformed work colleagues was never easy.
