Ever since I can remember, I've been addicted to daring public adventures. What began with that natural teenage interest in seeing how much you could get away with has grown over the years into regular journeys out... journeys that start out quite ordinary but somehow always seem to turn into full scale panic-driven thrill seeking - the risk of being caught...
I'm sorry it took such a while to produce this concluding episode. All the events that were to happen were decided long ago, but I had writer's block in the middle and had difficulty finding the right words to best describe those events. ***** Here's where we were at the end of the third episode: It was late 1976 and Billie and Jim had moved into their ne...
Lets see. Sweaty palms, dry mouth and butterflies in the stomach. Fear. All symptoms present and accounted for. To help dispel the nervous tension, I got up and walked around the hotel room one more time. It hadn’t changed. I checked the camera – still fully charged. Then my watch one more time. Five minuets. Five minuets and either one of the best nights of...
I drove home after a long week of student teaching. I was in my last semester of school and was looking forward to getting done so I could graduate, get married, and start a new life together with my fiancé Tom. He'd finished school last spring and was in law school at State. It was about 3 hours away, and we didn't get to see each other a great deal right n...
Model Jane demands a double entrance. My name is Jane Ashford a working model, at the time my story starts I was in Australia modelling beach wear. We were a group of ten, consisting of a cameraman named Mike and his assistant, Henry who was a bit of a creep, but in a nice sort of way. We had some stand-in cameramen usually employed locally at each place we...
Variation on a theme of human attraction. The AGM at Microweb's Chicago office had just finished. By a bit of good planning and, even although I say it myself, ingenuity - I managed to sustain an interview with the chief sales guy TO introduce my new Android App.. . I was directed into a large fussy waiting room which adjoined the executive conference room...
The Afghanistan's rocky desert was completely still and silent. It stretched for many freezing miles in all directions and was strewn with ancient torn canyons and shifting sand dunes. Each feature was tantalisingly revealed in mysterious shapes of red, ochre and gold by the bright stars that punctuated the night sky and a low-hung sliver of dusty grey moonl...
Like the gray skies brooding overhead, Carmen was in a sullen mood. But her dark temperament had nothing to do with the weather. Rather, it was the start of a new semester, meaning she had to go back to work. Fall was the busiest season for her, what with her new classes and students, and the paperwork alone was enough to give her a migraine. Worse, she had...
London in the spring of 2012 was a city of hope and buzz. In the streets of Camden tourists crowded pavements and cafes, and Londoners strolled the canals and contemplated love and life. In a quiet street, a few steps away from the throngs, Mark and Victoria surveyed their new flat. They had saved for many years to buy it, and now they had the money to unde...
"Hey, I nearly forgot to tell you, your friend Gill is coming for dinner on Saturday night. She is going to her Mothers on Sunday so is stopping over as we are half way from her place." This news from my partner Sue gave me mixed thoughts. "Oh great," I replied trying to hide my true feelings. But what were my true feelings? So, some background: Firstly Gi...
