He's staring at me again. My weird neighbor. No, "weird" isn't the word for him. More like "insane." He moved into the house next to mine about 2 months ago, and ever since then strange things have been going on. It all happens in his bedroom. I know because his bedroom window is directly across from the only window in the bedroom that my husband and I shar...
USS Surefoot-A, Deck 1, Captain's/Counselor's Quarters, Stardate 45398.09 - 89 minutes until Ensign Sasha Hrelle's death: Captain Esek Hrelle stared at his reflection much longer than necessary.

Jack said good evening to Sue and asked her to join him in bed. Sue felt the end of the bed with her knee and crawled towards his voice. She put her hand out and found him; he was sitting with his back to the headboard, and sat before him. She would have been straddling his upper legs if he had any. She reached out to his face and cupped it saying she wanted...
It wasn't the first visit to Aunt Sandra's home; Jean's family often spent long weekends there. This visit would bring change, though Jean would not understand the full impact for another twenty years. Unlike the other cousins, aunts, and uncles, Sandra had never married. Jean had never seen her with a man either. That first afternoon alone, it was a topic...
The damn phone rang at 6 AM. I wanted to ignore it, but Marty was all over it. I mean this was an adventure to Marty. He didn't understand that it was just a job to me.
