Maria Wilson checked herself once more in the mirror of her rundown efficiency apartment. From her reflection she could see the small toddler mattress that she curled up on at night laying in the corner. It was the only piece of furniture in the room. Her spare set of clothes was stuffed into a large Wal-Mart bag. As for her own reflection. She had tied he...
Note: All characters are over the age of 18. Dear Diary, Does anyone even keep such things anymore? I suppose since I am using password protected computer files, you are not truly a diary.

This is a fantasy. ***** Chapter 1 You enter your room, your hair wrapped in a towel and towel around your body. I peer out from the closet. You are perfect in every way. You remove the towel from your hair and shake your hair free. You drop the towel from your body. My breathing quickens. It is very tempting to creep from my hiding place now, but I like...
It was dance practice, and I was changing into the tight, short FBT shorts which were more like hot pants than shorts, and the loose, semi-translucent shift of a t-shirt that our school said was a Physical Education/ PE T-shirt. But this time, in the cubicle, I stuffed my sports bra and thong into my school bag. Jack was having rugby training and I wanted to...
My body felt incredibly tired, weak, and sore - as if I'd just run a marathon. Numbness around the left side of my ribs was slowly giving way to increasing pain, and the position I'd fallen in - had left my neck aching and my arm asleep.
