Many thanks to Techsan for editing this story. * If a young man had done exactly the same thing as Melissa did in her younger days, he had been envied, admired and regarded as a popular jolly good fellow among his many friends. Everybody had regarded him as doing exactly the right thing when he collected his large number of experiences before he met "Miss...
Most people outside of the immediate area think that New Jersey is all commuter homes, refineries and insurance companies. They forget that there is a lot of rural area too once you move away from the metropolitan areas. Many areas are covered with farming and dairy production. The state motto is 'the garden state'. Anyway, I live in the northwest part of t...
At two p.m. on the usual sunny winter day in Los Angeles I responded to a 252, a purse snatch outside of a coffee shop. The victim was a stunning brunette. The kind that out of uniform would have probably reduced me to a bumbling idiot, but with the badge on my chest I took down her information with a detached assuredness. Her description was pretty vague; A...
This is a follow on story based on the characters from "A Good Girl?" and is set six months later, but can be read separately. It is intended to be fun and "tongue-in-cheek". Hope you enjoy! ***** * Jennie * The pub was starting to fill up with Friday-night revellers. We'd made the most of arriving early to secure a small table in the corner. From here...
It had been three years since I'd seen Roberta, we'd lived in the same apartment building and met while doing our laundry. After that first session I made sure I would be doing my clothes every time she did hers. She had beautiful blue eyes, framed with black hair and cut in a page-boy style that made her look like my favorite (and sexiest) singer, Linda Ron...
"Jack, I don't think this is such a good idea," Olivia said as they half-stumbled, half slid down the grassy, muddy embankment. Her high-heeled sandals and hot pink fishnet stockings were not made for a midnight jaunt in the old graveyard seven blocks from campus. Even if it was Halloween. With the street light and city bustle growing further and further b...
I was sick of the jokes, and had been for my whole life. When your name is Larry Cupid, every February pretty much anybody I met thought it would be clever to make a joke, as if I hadn't heard every one. And to make it worse, I'm a salesman, so I'm constantly introducing myself to new people every day. "Gonna find me someone to love this year?" "Where's yo...
"Burn yerself out studyin' Tess?" I glanced from staring into the bottom of my empty coffee cup to see Joe, one of the old men that came into Quick-N-Good, smiling at me. I must have looked as bad as I felt because his smile faded. He sat across from me and took a sip of coffee. I went back to staring into the empty cup. "Trouble with school... or boyfrien...
My Dearest Readers, Thanks again for your comments! First off this installment is a bit longer than usual, however when I first wrote it, it was much longer. But I didn't like the direction I took, so I quickly revised it. (As you read you'll understand why I left off where I did. :D) I'm actually really pleased with the great ideas my laptop gave me, and I...
