Everyone involved is over the age of 18. This is really just a one off story that came to me one night. Nothing special. Like it or not, doesn't matter to me. I just enjoy writing what comes to mind no matter how insufficient it may turn out. Hope those who follow me enjoy this story. ***** While most soon-to-be high school graduates go to Florida and Can...
The small audience assembled in the chamber -- scarcely a dozen ladies and gentlemen -- had fallen silent. Before them, a single musician gently pulled his bow across a brick of rosin. Looking at him, one could scarcely believe that he spent his every moment in the company of nobility and the well-to-do. He was thin and wiry with a perpetually disheveled app...
I guess when you start a diary; you should always start at the beginning. It is not my intention that anyone ever reads my diary, but I guess I have had some rotten luck as the years have gone by. My real Mum died; well that's what I tell myself, but to be honest, I don't even think of her as my real Mum. My step Mum was called Ruth. She was not my biologi...
Author's Note: Okay, here's Chapter 6, and be warned! The next one is the last, at least for now.

And a HUGE thanks to everyone who has posted comments, voted and sent me feedback. T...
i. Ofelia didn't get home until nine o'clock on Saturday morning. Dominga gave her a stern look as her she came through the door, looking happy and well-rested. That wasn't how a dirty-stay-out was supposed to look, and that bothered Dominga even more. "Hi." Ofelia said, stepping past her mother, who was cleaning up some breakfast plates. She didn't see Ma...
I met the woman I married at a grocery store of all places. In fact, even more unlikely it was one AM, I got home earlier a bit after 11 that night from my 3 PM to 11 PM swing shift packing paper bags into bundles. Exhausted, I had plopped down on the couch, flicked on the late news and grabbed my paper. Of course I dozed off, waking up just after midnight...
Megan Richards waited and watched for a chance to catch Jonnie North alone at his birthday party in the posh nightclub that the modeling agency had rented for their star client. But she rarely ever saw him without that gorgeous model Kristina Davidson hanging on his arm. But she stayed unobtrusive and observant, thinking the other woman was bound to get side...
At 50 years and widowed, I had settled on the idea of keeping my life simple. I bought a small town home and lived comfortably off a healthy income from a business I had sold. No stress, no complications. No women. Which was fine. Then came the next door neighbor. The next door neighbor was a much younger girl who moved into the adjacent townhouse. She was...
"Morning, Lei." Tanalei stared at her niece. "What?" "You're up. At six-thirty am. On a Friday." Gail giggled. "We're goin' to the amusement park and maybe the water park today." She hugged the eighteen-year-old. "Do I need to stop and get a box of condoms today?" she whispered in her ear. "Lei!" the girl gasped. "Niall has his own." "Birth control?" S...
While we were in Chicago, Angela had gone by the house to surf the Internet. One of her friends had told her about a site that featured white women and black men. She wanted to check it out privately. She was hoping that we, her parents were making headway in finding her a black lover. The soon to be nineteen year old wanted to see what she might be getting....
