"Here? Now?" There was disbelief in the girl's voice, as if she'd misunderstood. As if she'd misheard. As if she'd misinterpreted her new station.

Not now. Abigail...
*Author's note: I work around a lot of retired Navy and Marine Corps F-18 pilots, and this story is based on something a retired colonel recently told me. He has a retired Marine friend who lives on Fleming Island in Florida who took a job as a teacher's aide several years ago. He didn't end up marrying her, but she did have serious mobility issues caused by...
The rain was falling hard and I knew it was going to be a slow day. Only five in the morning, I was already awake. This was normal for me as the director of development for a large home construction business. But when it rained like it was today, I didn't rush to get to the construction site. Instead I rolled over and wrapped my arm around my still sleeping...

The roller coaster ride contin...
"Here we are," said Fred, turning the moving van on to Washington Avenue. Amber reached over to grab his arm. "I hope this is a good idea." "Everything will be fine," replied her husband. "This is all my fault. If it wasn't for me, we wouldn't need to do this." "Honey, it's alright. Things will work themselves out." "Are they all black?" "As far as I c...
There are quite a few stories that I have written, both stand-alone and series, that I had intended to let end as they stand. However, due to a semi-steady stream of requests to continue the stories, coupled with the fact that I am currently having a case of writer's block on the series that I am working on now, I have decided to go back and continue some of...
Devon headed to the farthest reaches of the galaxy. This time, his angels did not try to stop him. A few moon cycles had gone by. He lived in the wilderness of the planet of Arboria, foraging for food, sleeping very little. The nightmares grew bloodier, the visions more realistic. His angels still tried to reach out to him, but he shut them out of his mind...

He'd then had breakfast with Odessa and she was at his side as he held her hand. He saw Dori laying on a chaise by herself. She was almost naked, as usual, and seemed to be panting.
