Venos reclined in the bath-house of Mask's Bounty, a pleased smile on his lips. Iliara, Cyra, and himself had spent a few days under Myrynda's care, the two ladies not quick to leave the comfortable bedchamber they had been sharing with the drow. Venos, for his part, had been given his private lodging as well as credit to spend however he wished, be it booze...
It was in 3rd year of engineering that I first met Koshy. He was a freshman and I remember being amused as I took my first look at him. Typical nerdy guy with well oiled hair, thick glasses and a very demure look. Most of my guys were rubbing their hands in glee when they first laid eyes on him. He was the dream 'junior' that we would all love to rag. And h...
***Hmmm, a little bonsai tree, a little um, manure-spreading, some light conversation, ... What could go wrong? 0_o =============================== Taeko was looking for a regular job. She found herself wandering in the aisles of a business supply store, gradually working her way to the front with a small shopping cart which by then contained a laptop PC...
*** I had another account that I wanted to use to test things. Based on the results, I doubt I'll ever use it again. Anyway, I posted this there, but after about 9 hours and a comment which was unsavory enough for the administration of Lit - and not me - to remove on the different story that I'd begun there, I pulled this one off long before it was to appea...
I'm not exactly sure why my mother and I were never close. I suppose it was because of how I saw her treat my dad. He was constantly being criticized for some sin or other; usually minor and often unjustified. It seemed like he had lived his whole married life in this state of harassment and I often wondered why he had married her when she was so obviously u...
Alrighty. This is my first story, so if you like it, good! If not, that's ok. I would like to thank jacuzzigal for her assistance and expertise as an editor. You are a doll! I would also like to thank Aussie Bard, who tale "Who's Sorry Now' inspired this one. If you haven't read it yet GO NOW! And thanks for reading! ****** Monday "I'm Home!" A simple...
Who needed sleep? Calliope Cruz had remained awake the rest of the night. After coming off an all time high in arresting Renaldo Cartucci she waltzed right into the clutches of a new adversary. One far worse if his words rang true. Threats made, promises of reward following them. Confusing times these last five hours. Eying her alarm clock she sighs heavily...
"You're going to put a rift in your marriage for these people, Kiana?" Janelle asked incredulously. Kiana picked up a toy from the living room's floor and placed it inside the ottoman beside Janelle's propped feet. Kiana took her place beside her friend on the couch. "I understand how you feel but you will regret ostracizing Sawyer like that. You don't owe t...
Jessica gave her mum and dad a huge hug each. Tears sprang unwanted to her eyes. "It'll be OK," her mum murmured. "Just you wait and see." "No, it won't, but thanks for trying to make me feel better. It always happens at midnight on your eighteenth birthday, everyone knows that. And look at cousin Amelia." "That doesn't mean it'll happen to you, for he...
This is a follow on from "A Christmas Gift..." This has taken a little bit of writing over the last little while. Apologies for taking so long. It's a continuation from the story of Ben and Clarissa from "A Christmas Gift But Not For Me". ***** I woke with a raging thirst. I had forgotten how the British central heating systems work in winter - not conten...
