Argh. Everything hurt. My luck went from bad to worse over the weekend. Too bad, just when things were going so well. First, I somehow twisted my ankle and knee while working out. I spent about half a day icing it and taking ibuprofen while cursing my luck. Hobbled, I decided to float in the pool. Tried the new spray-on sunscreen. Felt a little chilly go...
1: How it All Began *This is my first story and contains both a story of my life with elements of fantasy and embellishment. I will not outline where truth stops and fantasy begins for flow. **I've not written before so am open to critique. ***This is a long story, I write this almost as a journal of my experience and it helps me relive the moment. It is...
One didn't need to be an oracle like Erkos to know that hammocks were not an ideal thing for someone who stood over eight feet tall including antlers. FIrst, none of the hammocks here fit him, second he'd managed to cause the person sleeping above him great discomfort when he got up, knocking them from their slumber with an accidental headbutt. This was foll...
Allow me to introduce you to Ted. He is not, by any stretch of the imagination, a nice guy. He runs one floor of an office block, somehow rolling in money, he still finds any, and every, excuse to be unpleasant to everyone. For example, let us take the case of Mark Stevens. Mark has been working at Ted's company for several years now. Each day enduring the...
My wife Karen is now 48. We have been married along time I have always longed to watch her with other men since we got married. We did have an adventure at a student party once. Karen works in an office in town, where she has a car parking space in multi story car park. One morning she rang me in a terrible state, to say she had panged her car when she was...
Pete and Jane had gotten married when they were 18. They had 3 children, and after 25 years of marriage it seemed to Pete as if he had the perfect life. Then he got sick. Pete didn't think it was that big a deal at first, but after a while he started to realize that things were getting worse and not better. Pete had been able to hide the sickness from Jane...
Kevin put the towel in the washing machine and selected a fresh one. He hummed a happy tune as he went back up the stairs to his room. * * * * * * Cleo was feeling very frustrated as she put her gaming kit on and powered up her laptop. * * * * * * "What did I spot?" Kevin asked as he stood in the capacious body of the salvage vehicle. "It's an escape po...
Lacy and Ice took off to get some food for the house as it hadn't really been stocked in ages. She ran around the cupboards making notes and a list. She said she wouldn't get a bunch of stuff as we were only going to be here the rest of the week. She was also going to see if mom wanted to join them. Seemed like a wonderful idea to me. Lacy was back to her no...
"God Bless America" I was in study hall at 8:47, at New Lebanon Jr./SR High school. New Lebanon lies just before the Massachusetts border, about 20 miles from Albany, the state?s capital. It is a jerkwater little town, and the only things in it are cows, pigs, cornfields, and two gas stations. One little supermarket where you could buy expired meat for a ch...
We were married in the Skywalker Lounge, on the top deck of the Golden Princess Cruise Ship. We hadn't sailed yet and were still moored to the dock in San Pedro. Twenty-five of our friends came on board to attend the ceremony. We all dressed in Hawaiian shirts or sarongs. The view of the harbor was spectacular; the lounge décor was like something from outer...
