Chapter 1 -- The Discovery Detective Jake Diamond watched through a pair of binoculars from his perch in a tree outside the mansion. Nighttime shrouded the estate in darkness, but the garden in the distance was brightly lighted under its glass roof. MzDominica's servants -- slaves? -- were all around the garden, serving drinks and hors d'oeuvres to guests....
Delivery Driver A modern times short story... Business was starting to pick up, people were starting to go back to work, it seemed like things were starting to get back to normal. That is at least, if we could avoid what the experts were calling a second spike. My regular deliveries were returning as I received boxes from the usual delivery companies who...
I called Dan and suggested we could grab a pizza. I really wanted to play, too. When I got there, we haggled about what we wanted on the pizza, and he called and ordered it for delivery. I was only wearing jeans and a T-shirt, Dan said he thought I looked over dressed. I think he meant I had too many clothes on, so I took off my sneakers and socks, then my...
Ch. II: The Streets of Sin City "Shit!" Hugo swore, as he grappled with the door lock. "Shit. It's locked!" The blond was still screaming. He fumbled for the light cord and with trembling fingers pulled it but nothing happened. "Shit!" he yelled. The main corridor light switch must have been flicked. He kicked the door. There was screaming from the room op...
Within 5 minutes, Lexter and I stood in the hotel lobby, both dressed in leather pants and biker jackets. Lexter had large army boots on vs. my black, metal high heels.

The glass doors opened, and a young man waved at her. Tessa got a better grip on her suitcase and nervously walked toward the large brick building. An enormous A-frame showed the entire interior of the common rooms, but she couldn't make much out due to the sun's glare. White columns lined the concrete porch which bore stains of various shades of brown and p...
Last month I moved to a new flat in Rhodes, a riverside suburb newly developed to take advantage of the current rental price gouging in Sydney. This is one of the old pre-boom buildings in a group of older ones, no garage and only one washing line that is in shade all day. The adjoining block of apartments (we share a driveway) has plenty of parking and six...
I parked my blue Camry and mustered my courage. I hate dealing with things like this, as a general rule. I had to get my brakes checked because the car was shaking when I braked hard. No big deal for most people, but I'm introverted and moody; I just wasn't in the mood for explaining what was going on with my car to some man who would probably look at me lik...
Prolog... I still remember that night, how could I forget it as if nothing had happened. My name is Kevin, I'm 19 years old. The night I spoke of, was the first party I ever went to, it was about a week ago, yet what happened that night still plays vividly in my dreams as I sleep. 8 days earlier...
