Please remember only one vote per reader and comments are appreciated and welcomed! ~ Red July 23, 2012 I can't believe my mother is making me do this. I'm a senior in high school for God's sake; I shouldn't have to keep a journal if I don't want to. Sure I know she's probabl...

"On screen, Lieutenant," said Captain Rachael Thatcher. She smiled warmly at the face of Captain Jean-Luc Picard "Hello, Rachael. Good to see you in our little neck of the war," said Picar...
I heard the door slam as she left the flat, 'at least they'd stopped arguing' I thought to myself as I carried on washing up. My fiancée and her best friend/our flatmate had been arguing since I'd got home from work. I had moved in with them to start working for a few months before my fiancée and I got ourselves a flat of our own. No-one had been too keen on...
Arching her back, Cassandra raised her arms over her head stretching her lean frame as she stepped outside. Today was going to be excellent! She had graduated from college last week and was finally going home. Her gaze trailed across the parking lot to her car and the nearby apartments. Home was nothing like this place.

I'd married a year out of high school. He'd been in school with me and was a big guy. I'm big, too. He'd asked me out and I might have been the only one that said yes, but I was flattered.

As they wheeled me into the operating room, I remembered playing simple one-finger songs on the piano at the age of four and feeling those happy melodic sounds resonate throughout my being. Life seemed normal then but sometime in fourth grade, it changed. All the boys and many of the girls made fun of my blonde hair, the way I spoke and of my slight physique...
My life changed completely the year I turned 18. Up to that point I was a pretty typical suburban white boy. I was quite small. About 5'6" and 130 lbs. Most of that weight was in my ass and legs.
