Disclaimer: I do not own The Vampire Diaries. I do not make any money from the writing of this story. ***** Elena Gilbert was excited. The past year felt more like an eternity, but she had never been happier than she was right now. She was living in a luxurious apartment with her girlfriend, who she had pressured into using some of the vast fortune she'd...
Frustrating Moments and Dreams Margaret awoke with a hangover. After downing a pint of orange juice, and a couple of aspirin, she figured on a hot tea as the next best thing. She sat at the kitchen table, nursing a sore head, cursing the maniacal lawn mowers, that is, the men pushing or riding them. Wondering if last night was a success, she remembered so...
"You did WHAT?" Lucy spoke so loudly that people in all the surrounding tables turned their heads to look at them. "Shh!" Joanna said, blushing. In a near-whisper she said, "I slept with Michael. Twice, in fact. A week ago and again last night. And it was amazing!" "Details, babe!" Christine said. "Spill." "Well, it was my idea. I've been ... pursuing him...
Rachel was a happily-married 41-year-old mother of three. She and her husband, Brian, had been married for sixteen years, and for fourteen of those years she worked as a stay-at-home mom. She organized play dates for her kids, attended PTA meetings and performed all of the other tasks -- fulfilling and mundane -- associated with that role. She took great pri...
The air conditioner kept the tractor cab to the same comfort level as my living room in spite of the ninety-five degrees of searing, July heat. I hit the hydraulics to raise the cultivator, made the turn, and lined back up on the next eight rows of soybeans. Another tap on the hydraulic lever caused the gleaming sweeps to bite into the rich, black, Illinois...
Once again, I'd like to thank Wolf Vixen for editing this story. I'd also like to use this submission to pay my respects to all United States Armed Forces veterans, in particular the Greatest Generation; if only I had been able to send this out one week earlier on Memorial Day, it would have been much more fitting. See why as you read below. Again, the sex...
One Saturday afternoon found my wife and I travelling back to the town we had recently moved from. The drive was around 45 minutes, going from north to south through the other Indianapolis suburbs. The reason for our trip was for the annual Beer and Wine Festival, a beer and wine tasting at the local convention center. The event had grown rather large over t...
"This is gonna be a great," Vera exclaims as she carries out the last of our bags. My agreeing grin is a mile wide. It's been so long since we had the chance to get out for more than one night. Although being a stay at home mom is incredibly rewarding, there's only so much one woman can take before she needs a break. I'm knee deep in repacking all the bags s...
Just Another Day? It was a typical Saturday morning - up by seven, read the newspaper, drank some coffee, and dressed by eight. The moment we were dressed, Cindy got busy with her usual weekend chores, while I checked the mail and paid some bills on-line. During one of her many trips into my home office, Cindy suggested that we should do a bit of Christma...
Better Than New Act 1 Wednesday, June 17th, 6:15pm I dropped down into the booth with a sigh. The cushioned seat padding took the brunt of the impact. I nodded to Paul, with a miserable attempt at a smile, picked up the waiting beer and took a healthy gulp. "So ... it's finally done?" he asked. "Yep. All the t's crossed and the i's dotted. I'm officiall...
