1 Bret Harris was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief. It didn't look it from the final score, but the 46-20 Lakeville victory on this Friday night was far more hard-fought than anyone expected. Down 12-0 early and snake-bitten, Lakeville had simply worn out the opponent, taking an 18-12 halftime lead and slowly extending it to 46-12 with time running...
Tara raked manicured fingers through her long chestnut hair as she sat waiting inside the tiny bus depot. Tugging on the handle of the lone bag at her feet Tara glanced at the clock on the wall. “Where is that bus?” she wondered to herself. Tara looked out the window, wishing for her bus to appear, and noted how beautiful the November sky looked. The weather...
This is my first ever story, please be kind. This is a work of fiction and all names are ficitious. My name is Helen and this story takes place in the spring of 1978 when I was 29. I had been married to my wonderful husband for three years and we had lived together the year prior to our marriage. My husband was my first male lover and although he had a c...
The roads were so bad that it felt like trying to fall asleep in a rollercoaster ride. I was wide awake now, uncle was stretched out on the last row taking up most of space. I could see the driver smoking in his cabin through the glass partition. I checked my breath, applied some gloss, tossed my hair and walked into the driver's cabin. Seeing me they stopp...
I can't really complain...I mean the city provides this shuttle for free to take employees of the business park there from the metro in the morning. The ride is only 15 minutes from start to finish. I am upset because the shuttle is always so crowded, and I always have to stand. For the last week I've had to stand, squeezed between people that I don't know,...
You look out the window at the swirling snow. It’s not the best time to be traveling through a remote mountain pass, but you are comfortable on the warm luxury bus. Outside the wind howls and you can barely see. There is a enormous thud sound and you are nearly thrown from your seat. “Cazzo! Cazzo! Cazzo!” The bus is stopped and the engine sputters. You catc...
Dear Diary, Not even two weeks after I finally graduate from high school and I got a letter, it's from the Bureau of Human Resources; I have been drafted into becoming a "governmentally employed milk distributor". Whatever that means. I know that America hasn't used cows for dairy products in, like, twenty years but I've never even been to a farm. This soun...
Sorry about the long intro but its my first story. "I got accepted!" Jenna screamed as she ran down the stairs. "I got into my first choice college and I did it all by myself." Her father glanced over at her with a smug look on his face. "Aren't you happy for me Dad?" she said. "Of course I am honey, but I think what you failed to remember is that your...
I just had another fight with my boyfriend and decided to hop on a bus to see where it would take me. I got on the first bus that came my way. The driver appeared to be middle aged and very stern looking. He told me to hurry up and find a seat and sit my ass down. I could tell this was going to be a fun ride. I still can't believe my boyfriend cheated on me...
A classical, high-intensity microburst dropped out of the thunderstorm cell above them and killed the bus. Worden and MaryLiz had met only yesterday, at the start of this five-day bus junket to visit remote little towns and scenery in the southwestern desert. For her it was relaxation after six weeks of hard work – she was British, this was the end of her...
