The third time he said it - I was wishing I hadn't told Julian about Ozzie kids being known for saying "are we nearly there yet" on car journeys. We'd got a bit stuck in Saturday afternoon traffic for the "Queens Birthday" long weekend in Melbourne. I was hoping the windows of the limo I'd hired were blacked out enough - we were right outside the State Art G...
Summer was more than half over, and the hot sun had baked her garden. Driving out to the mountain cabin, everything seemed yellow, tan and brown – more like fall – instead of the usual greenery that carpeted the scenic trip. Now, she frowned at her dry, thirsty vegetables and flowers, wishing for a nice rainstorm. She turned and started toward the porch – s...
It was past 7 when Raj wrapped up for the weekend. He was almost a leg out of the office building when he remembered something which should be brought to the notice of Mr. Kumar, the big boss. Cursing under his breath, he ran up the four flights of stairs to Mr. Kumar's cabin. He always took the stairs. He figured that it was a good way to stay in shape sin...
It was a warm summer day, a 3 days before the start of the 1st semester. Joey was pacing around his room trying to remember things that he might have missed while packing. He looked around his room and remembered the summers he had spent there and the secrets it knew. He knew that he would miss his room, his family, his friends and especially the older women...
Monday morning I woke up to the sound of rain. Turning to the Weather Channel, it looks like rain for the next few days. Dragging myself out of bed, I take a shower and get ready for work. Traffic is horrible because of the rain. Luckily the day goes by with no problems. Heading to work Tuesday, the traffic has finally made it back up to the posted speed li...
Dialogue This: Making Your Characters Talk Y'know, people often say to me: "Firebrain, how come you write such good dialogue?" My stock response (whilst smiling smugly) is that I watched a lot of Buffy. Now that's actually quite relevant - Joss Whedon is the king of quippy dialogue and gorgeously grey characters - but that doesn't help you, on the other si...
*** This is the last Part of their weekend. I recommend you read the first 4 parts to catch the story. Please Comment on what you thing. We are currently working on "Time at the Ranch". ************************ When they got back he turned on the grill out in the back and she worked on the salad. Together they made a fantastic dinner together. She set the...
Chapter 31 "You feel you need to do this, but one more time, you don't," Joe said. We stood apart on the front porch staring into the woods surrounding my cabin. The air was cool, the wind slight, but it was warm enough that I didn't need a jacket. "I do need to do this. Now more than ever," I said. "I'll help if you want me to. Gotta make sure you don't...
Hi, I am Akash, I'm going to narrate the incident which turned my life, the most unforgettable moments of my life. I was in my twelfth grade (class) just turned 19 (age) a typical city kid. As a teenager my mind was full of dirty thoughts circling around, always thinking about sex. I wasn't so good at studies as porn and unwanted sexual thoughts were conquer...
Elaine's heart quickened as she approached the group of men before her. She could hear their laughter and feel their eyes raking over her. Normally she would have stopped and chatted, returned the favour and got their hearts racing instead but today she had better places to be. She had received a message telling her her ship was loaded and ready to depart....
