Both of their eyes shot to the front door to see Rose standing there like a statue. Her eyes were glued on them. All at once she burst into tears and ran out the front door without closing it. Alex jumped up and ran for the front door. "Rose wait!!" she cried. Jacob sat straight up in the bed. For some reason he suddenly felt as though he should be the one...
All content copyright 2012 Ted Szabo * It was around one AM when Kate and I returned from the party, striding arm in arm up the sloping concrete walk in front of building eleven as my decrepit car's engine, thoroughly lined with carbon deposits, continued to cough along for a good ten seconds after the ignition was switched off. One of the student organi...
Edited, and surely not for the last time. * * * * * * * Ethan stood, staring at the white marker board cluttered with the red X's and blue O's of the past hour's offensive scheming. His thoughts, however, had drifted some while ago, lost in a vast realm of uncertainty. It happened often anymore. He wasn't double-minded. Focus, determination, persistence,...
Eleanor stared at the young black man who had become her night in shining armor in this strange land of casual sex, rotund naked women who orgasmed in front of half a dozen strangers and god only knew what else. His words filtered through her muddled brain, was she ready for the rest of the tour? No, no she was not. But having come this far in the charade sh...
Reader be warned – I’ve got a little creative with my grammar and formatting in this particular story (much more than usual for me!). Sorry if bugs you. Charlie thundered down the stairs and headed straight for the kitchen. A chorus of "hi Charlie's'" was quickly acknowledged. "Anyone seen Mike?" "No, I haven't seen him. Why don't you join us, c'mon, sit...
In a few days my office was going to relocate. Today everybody was invited to discuss the plan. We gathered in the meeting room at 9 AM sharp. Everybody was there, the management, the client, and the staff. The Project Manager opened the meeting and briefly explained the whole plan. I was writing down what was important to my team when I felt somebody eyes s...
It had happened again. A simple conversation that turned into a dumb argument and we had "broken" up. There was name calling, threats and the hang ups followed by me calling her back and finally both of us saying that it was over and it was fine by the both of us. It was ridiculous and not long after hanging up the phone that empty feeling gnawed its way int...
Camden looked down at her cell phone—11:57pm. Alex had three minutes to get here—the previews were about to start. She sighed and looked around the packed theater. She had made Halloween plans with her boyfriend to see a movie and he'd insisted they attend the midnight showing of the latest zombie horror movie. At the last minute, he'd had to drop his brothe...
"Well, come on, chicken!" "Cluck, cluck." OK so I know it's not original, but it was the best I could do. Despite my misgivings, I got out of the minivan, smoothed my skirt across my hips, and waited for Alexis. Her name's really Alice, but she was Alexis for the night. The same way Jeanna was Gina and I was Belinda. I don't remember whose idea it was, but...
Today is a very special day for both Jordan and me. We've spent several weeks IMing after meeting on a dating website. And I'm amazed that we've actually come this far. After all, I'm old enough to be her father. Still, when she saw my picture she said I was handsome. That's a very powerful word when spoken by a much younger woman. And apparently I'm one of...
