Disclaimer: Though this story has a high school setting, both characters are over the age of 18. * Jackson sits at his desk, anxiously tapping a pen against his temple and watching the ancient clock on the wall tick one minute closer to 4:30. He's begun to look on these after school tutoring sessions with a strange mixture of anticipation and dread. No, he...
I've been lucky during this economic downturn just because I had a plan for retirement five years ago. All the savings went into money making assets -- a small, low end mobile home park and some low end rentals. Now I'm widowed with no debt, a big home and good health. For the last two years I've tried to help the local food bank by growing vegetables in the...
"Gees, why doesn't she put some vodka in this drink?" I muttered while sitting with the happy hour crowd. I was to meet him here at 7:00 pm, it was 7:40 pm, he was, only, 40 minutes late. I am smart enough to know how to be single in a crowd, that is very easy to do. Way too easy. The ability to time your alcohol consumption makes you appear to be in total...
Thanks go to my editor Althefish. You're the best. I was in a mood this month. I can't quite say exactly what kind of mood, just a mood. Nothing spectacular, I wanted something; I just wasn't sure what the 'something' was. Then one Wednesday morning it dawned on me, I wanted to have control. I wanted a toy I could play with and do anything I wanted to....
After 30 plus years of marriage, I have to admit that we don't have very many "Romantic Evenings" or go out on the town very often. Oh, we like to travel, take cruise ships to exotic ports, and visit many different places, but budgets will only allow one or two of those adventures each year. The kids are all grown, married, and out of the house with famili...
*Ha, bet you guys didn't see this one coming! Well, I didn't abandon this story; I just wanted to finish Please Cowboy? first. Hope you guys like because I switched the way this story is going to go. Oh and hopefully I can fill in some holes you guys keep talking about with Scott and Lily. So, thanks for all those readers who have stuck with me, emailing me...
"Time to rise and shine sleepy head! We'll be late if we're not careful" mused Greta. It was Monday morning. Sam woke slowly, his eyes gradually adjusted to the cold winter morning sun, he glanced at the bedroom clock and immediately felt sick to his stomach. It was 8.30, in an hour he would be no longer with his beloved wife Greta. He started to reminisce...
"I wasn't expecting it to still be this hot and humid." "Me neither." My wife, Liz, and I sat on the warm sand, our fingers loosely intertwined, and stared out at the sea. Over the roar of crashing surf, the air was filled with the sound of joyful screams, laughter and splashing water. The sun was just beginning to set on the horizon but the beach was stil...
Ethan was shocked, who would destroy the girl's lab and why? And what did they want him to see? Then there was the issue of sensing someone even though the security team didn't see or sense them. Ethan began to get a very bad feeling in the pit of his stomach. "What's going on?" Katrina asked. "I wish I knew." Ethan replied absently. "I'm going over to the...
