Chapter 16: Rolf This is part of the Laresa chain story, started by RedhairedandFriendly. I hope that my latest contribution lives up to her expectations. I enjoy writing with Red, deathlynx, Darkniciad, and the others. Berlin, Germany July 20, 1944 Major Rolf Niedermann sat at his desk in the Abwehr office, where he reported directly to Admiral Wilhelm...
You meet your Archangel Michael in a secret location. "Good evening." He says. He looks good in his chain mail armour and dark cloaks. His flaming sword is with him. He has his long blond hair on a ponytail and handsome face features. His body is muscular yet slender underneath the armour. His sword is only light here in Purgatory. "Why am I h...
Hallo ich bin Claudia, bin 45 Jahre alt und wohne in Berlin. Vom Beruf her bin ich Krankenschwester. Auf Grund des Schichtarbeit habe ich leider kaum Zeit für ein privates Leben. Es ist schwer Leute kennenzulernen, da ich entweder unter Tags schlafen muss oder am Abend, wenn meine Mitmenschen Feierabend haben, arbeiten muss. Aus diesem Grund ist auch meine E...
It was just me and Mini from now on. My father—or at least his body—remained back home where he could easily be forgotten. That is, after all, the first step to overcoming grief: forgetting.

Bevor die stressigen Prüfungsvorbereitungen losgingen, wollten die Schüler noch einmal für kurze Zeit dem Stress entfliehen und Party machen. Die Jahrgangsstufe 13 setzte sich aus 32 Schülerin...
When Judge Carlson calls, I always know that the job is going to be interesting, and when he called me this time in the dead of night I just knew that this particular case is going to be 'unusual'. He had the talent for pulling the one 'odd ball' court filing out of a stack of about 100 other nearly identical ones, that seemed to have 'special features' of i...
Matthias stoppt den Mietwagen, er sieht noch einmal auf das Navigationsgerät und dann auf den Bootssteg zu seiner Linken. Dann nickt er zufrieden und blickt abwechselnd seine Frau und seine Tochter an: „Ich denke, wir sind da!“ Matthias hat kaum den Motor abgestellt, da ist seine Tochter Verena schon aus dem hinteren Teil des Wagens geklettert. „Papa, das is...
As the weekend approached Willie Froehlich began to have apprehensive feelings about sitting down to dinner with Fraulein Dietz and her friends. She seemed to associate with some of the most ugly and uninteresting people in the world and he could predict that none of them would care a dot about reading good books or be interested in art. It seemed doomed t...
As always, a huge "Thank You" to bikoukumori, for yet another splendid edit. Also, thanks to Handley Page from the Author's Hangout, for small but meaningful improvements to the shootout segment. As usual, only adults having fun here. And Cat will be back, promise. #9 Dissection 8:15 am PST Ever since that "Cat" problem surfaced, almost six months ago,...
