Saturday May 24, 2003 1:15 PM Brad stopped by to visit Tom. When he came into the house he squeezed Lisa's hand as he kissed her cheek and then went upstairs to see Tom. Lisa followed Brad upstairs to see how Tom was feeling. It was obvious from the smile on Tom's face he was glad to see Brad. "I need to run out to the store to pick up a few things. I m...
Elunara sat on the platform, drawing to her heart's content. "It's always so fascinating to watch you do that." Zelinnia commented. Renwa nodded. "It's impressive." Elunara put her pencil down and smiled up. "I don't see you out of uniform that often." "Yes, well, it was pointed out to me, that I don't take enough time for just the family." She sat her...
Relentless weeks of rehearsals followed and Peter slid into an easy routine of collecting Jennifer at her apartment, attending rehearsals and taking her back to his apartment for dinner and music. Working, learning lines and memorizing stage movements were delightful tasks and always they had something to discuss. Even so, Peter did not attempt to hold her...
The jangling ring of the phone woke me up a few hours later. "Hello?" I rubbed my face and tried not to yawn. "Are you okay?" I frowned and rubbed my face again. "Sir?" "Yes. Are you okay?"

Earth Spectre Base, Canadian Rockies August 12, 2019 18:56 PDT (15:56 EDT) There was now quite a crowd watching in amusement as Jonathan and his friends walked in circles without realizing it.

They were all empty-nesters that 4th of July holiday. The kids were grown up and gone. It was the neighborhood gang that had stuck together through those childrearing years. Now they were just enjoying themselves. They were seated along the shoreline at a big picnic table. Sated with hot dogs, potato salad and apple pie, with the beer cooler just about empty...
My first stop was at a pharmacy where I filled Kelly's prescription for pain pills. The label indicated she was to take one pill every six hours. I walked over to the medical equipment aisle and was able to find a waterproof cast cover for Kelly to use in the shower. I also picked up a bed pan. Who knows how mobile Kelly was going to be over the next few day...
This story involves some characters from Elliot Kay's "Good Intentions" universe... ***** Cassandra had run and failed. All the other captives of that vast middle realm called Purgatory had warned her of the futility of such action, but her terror at having to submit to Him for a year had known no bounds.
