We all have them. The thing we wish we had said. The thing we should have said at just the right minute instead of thinking of it later. I can't count the number of times I had come up with the perfect retort 2 minutes to late. But not this time, this time I said the right thing at the right time. I was staying in a hotel in Helena Montana for 2 weeks on b...
He was gamin. He was an exchange student from Paris. His hair was night dark. His face was shaped like a fox's. A box of summer in it. Bright black eyes that looked perpetually startled, as though he were a boy who knew Christmas lights were tomorrow, and they would always be for him, without the resonant arrogance, without the resident precipitation that he...
Sarah couldn't shake the feeling of being watched from the moment she got onto the train car to go back to the city. As many times as she looked around, she couldn't see anyone that would be following her. There was only an pair of ageing, gray-haired women, and a very young teenage boy with an enormous backpack that were also taking the one-am ride down int...
Penny was thankful to see her husband relaxed and in a good mood. He had been joking with their eldest son during dinner earlier, and that was comforting.

It was awfully difficult, however; my head was full of Caitlin and what we had just done together....
AUTHOR'S NOTE: I'd like to thank meathead96 for a quick and fantastic job on the edit. This will be the first of many adventures for Harvey, and I do hope to hear from you all—whether it is comments or critique. Thanks and enjoy! NOT FROM THE BEGINNING. I should start at the beginning. But that would be too much of a bore. I mean I lost my virginity at 21....

* * * * * Click Here to listen. (22 min/mp3) * * * * * I poked my head outside the doorway to my dorm room, and scanned up and down. The pale blue flames flickering along the walls were at their low nighttime level, but they shed enough light to see that the corridor was empty. Heart thudding in my chest, I slipped out, and let the door slide silently s...
It's been a long, hot summer and as we entered late July of 2002 Kevin's nerves are becoming ragged. Between the unending parade of kids with friends, many of them packing overnight stays, working, creating gardens and picking and freezing vegetables and fruits for winter, we are both mentally, physically and emotionally exhausted. On a bright, sunny Saturd...
