Marie waited alone in the bathroom, staring at the odd little stick. She and Matt had been trying for months with no luck. The little stick's indicator turned a pale shade of blue, and disappointment came to Marie like an old friend. Each time, she thought it wouldn't be as bad, that she wouldn't be as crestfallen, but somehow she managed to get her hopes up...
It was a dark, calm, clear Friday night in May. Layla had just arrived at her friend Joy's house for a sleep over because they had not seen each other in quite a while. Joy lived towns away, so of course they did not attend the same school. They had kind of grown apart with time, but still very much enjoyed each other's company and would be eager to catch up...
1 - THE PRINCESS Princess Ho White had never seen an orgy. She did not even know what an 'orgy' was. She overheard her new stepmother telling a servant to, "make sure there are enough beds in the great hall for the orgy. I have invited 700 people." Ho asked politely. "What's an orgy?" "Nothing," replied her stepmother. This made Ho even more intereste...
Sunday I was awoken at 8AM, David called Ashley and told us to be there early, there was other back and forth chatting, but I could not make out anything she was saying. As we dressed I notice Ashley was putting on a skirt and I inquired how was she going to work all day setting up a store in a skirt? She simply looked at me and said David told me to wear on...
"How can you drink coffee this late in the afternoon?" He smiled. "What do you mean?" "When I drink coffee, it keeps me awake at night. How are you drinking it so late?" "It's only three o'clock..." He took a sip. "Isn't coffee just... bean juice?" "What?" "You put beans and water together. It's just bean juice." "...better than leaf water." He chuck...
I've never really been one to make a huge pot of stew and have it sitting in my fridge for a week. If I'm going to cook a lot of food for a large party of guests, though, I do like to go all out. For the purpose of this little How-To, I'm going to walk you through the makings of an entire Tex-Mex meal. Note that I said Tex-Mex, not Mexican. I do not live in...
{This is set way back in the sixties, a different world than today. That might help you to understand it better.} +++ I was sitting at my kitchen table enjoying my third cup of coffee when my phone rang. "Danny? Can I come over and talk to you please?" Sandy's voice asked. Sandy and Cary were two of my very best friends. I knew her first, she was the roo...
Anxiously, I watched the valet doors. I scanned each person as they walked out into the blistering desert heat. The attendants eyed me, annoyed, as I sat idling in my truck, just past the hotel drop off. Is she going to come? I wondered. We had been chatting online for over six months and her trip to Las Vegas had been planned for three of those. It was st...
Cheryl swayed back and forth as the wagon wheels churned through muddy ruts. She sat beside her mother in the back seat of the buggy, gazing out over the grassy fields. A fine mist mingled with the thick clouds above. The dreariness of the day and her situation made her feel heavy. Occasionally she watched the fine water droplets as the tiny pools formed thi...
"Hello," I answered my cell phone, pressing it between my cheek and shoulder as a familiar voice greeted me on the other line. "Jelly Bean!" I let a small smile slip as I continued to stir my coffee. Hearing my dad use his silly nickname for me (even as I was quickly approaching twenty one in a few weeks) always made me chuckle. "Hi dad, what's going on?...
