She was running late, and had to get the guard to let her into the office building. "Sorry Fred had a flat tire." she said as she pull her stuff behind her. "No problem Miss Thomas, Boss man is the only other one here did tonight, and it doesn't look like he's going to leave the office till after midnight again." the guard said. She went from one floor to th...

Driving home from work that night I was tired and hungry. My clothes felt like they were stiff from evaporated sweat. The day had been another hot one that hadn't even cooled after the sun set. A work site is always too hot no matter the season or time of day. As usual I was the first one to arrive at the site that morning before sunrise to get things ready...
He sank down into his favourite chair in his study. It had been a good day of sailing with a brilliant blue sky and an ocean as clear as any crystal. He drew the ottoman closer and kicked off his deck shoes. He rubbed the smooth worn leather of his chair affectionately, sliding his fingers beneath the arms. It had been a comforting friend to him in many a lo...

Yes, it is my story with a rewrite. The story was ok but was a mechanical disaster the first time. Punctuation, sentence structure, typos, etc... were really bad and it...
Its late one night, I've been curled up on the sofa in front of the fire reading a book with my cat curled up next to me keeping me company. I look at the top of the fire place and decide its time for bed. I put the book down, turn off the fire and head towards the bedroom. I flick the light switch in the bedroom, but nothing happens, I slowly walk across t...
The night thus far had been a decidedly cruel mix of frustration, fear, and fury that had left Marissa on edge. After Isolde had so punished her and humiliated her, the young redheaded woman had not wished to stay one more second under the roof of that accursed manor. Even the squirming, pleading man still bound to her bed could do little to take her mind of...
Fantasy can be brought crashing down very quickly by the intervention of reality, and perhaps it should be. Yes, Jackie was beautiful. Yes, I thought this was the woman I wanted to spend my life with. In my eyes she was the loveliest and sweetest creature I had ever met, and I was deeply, passionately in love with her. I had spoken to her of marriage and...
(fictional story about fictional characters in the public domain) That damn little girl and her piano lessons," thought Natalie. She knew it wasn't rational to blame her, but Natalie had to blame someone. She couldn't blame her boss, Adrian Monk (the brilliant former detective and now consultant for the SFPD) because his phobias and neurosis' were beyond hi...
