My father had recently passed away. My Mom and I were going through his papers trying to get his estate in order. Mom reminded me that Dad had a cabin up north from where we lived. I had never been there. It had always been a man thing where my Dad and his brothers went to be together. I told my Mom I wanted to go up and visit the place. Mom said we should j...
Three years ago I headed up North to the cabin for deer hunting. I was meeting a group of guys there but decided to go up early and get the cabin ready. The only source of heat is a wood burning stove. We winterize the cabin but have an outhouse for use when we shut the water off. It was cold in the cabin and I got a fire going. While the cabin warmed up I...

Molly O'Ryan stood on the dock with tears running down her pretty face. The wind whipped her long, straight, red hair. She watched her Father bartering with the fine, English gentleman. She knew full well what he was doing; he was selling his eldest daughter, a girl just turned 18, so that her brothers and sister would survive the coming winter. Times were m...
All packed with a few special items just in case, I'm off to the mountains for a late summer vacation. I'm leasing a small cabin on the lake for just myself. After an exhausting drive I decide to start a bath, light a few candles. I pour a glass of chardonnay. All alone for a weeklong relaxation time at the lake. The owner was so nice on the phone and was ha...

It was a chilly spring day, the sun had not poked through the clouds yet over Hardstorm Kentucky and Travis looked out the window of his home. He opened the window to let fresh air in. It had been another cold night, and he wanted to get the smell from the fire in the chimney from last night aired out. It was going to be a busy day. He had to go into town la...
