Part Two Ten Saturday arrived early for Nick, awoken by a prevailing flurry of rain that lashed at the window eliciting thoughts of midwinter rather than midsummer. Noting that Jan remained undisturbed by the foul morning, he crept out onto the landing, hesitating for a brief moment outside son Joe's old room before hurrying along to the bathroom. A nice w...
Both Crystal's and Judy's parents preferred that their daughters be buried rather than cremated so the final moments of the funeral weren't of two coffins sliding inside a furnace and being incinerated. Instead a procession of hearses snaked out of the funeral home and wound through the roads and avenues of Rock Hill to Crystal's final resting place at the F...

All they wanted to hear were the oldies from the sixties and seventies and eighties, maybe a few early nineties songs. They would even get a bit surly if we tried to play something original or anything newer than those eight-year-old ninet...
This story is a work of fiction, all persons are over the age of 18. The story is for entertainment. * The classic rock radio station I listen to has been advertising a spring concert in the park with local cover bands playing 60's, 70's & 80's songs. Since I enjoy listening to the music of that era, being 57, and I also enjoy watching the new bands tryin...
Derek could not believe it. Standing in the performing area of his bar were the three surviving members of the greatest rock band in the world: The Beatles. The thirteen or fourteen patrons were all just as surprised as Derek at this wonderful, but unexpected, surprise. A supposedly normal Tuesday night of beers and chicken wings turned into a reunion of m...
Chapter Two: Transvixen begins "No fucking way!" Panti and Cherri shrieked in unison. They were sitting at the kitchen table opposite Wendy. "Look! Here's the fucking bottom line," Wendy pointed to a bunch of figures on a spreadsheet. "Vixen is losing money. If I can't get you decent venues and crowds you might as well break up the band right now," Wendy...
