With nothing better to do than watch it rain here in Ann Arbor, I thought I'd kill some time by putting up a tale I posted a while back on another site. Two thousand years ago Quintiles Varus lost three Legions and an uncountable treasure in the forests of Germany. Now, some of that gold has begun to turn up in Paris and the "Organization" is getting paid...
Bowsette and Wendy stood at the entrance of the Star Temple, staring down the long hallway. The smooth panelled walls, floor and ceiling looked very alien. The Koopa Queen realised she knew nearly nothing about what she was heading in to. The Star Temples were found in various parts of the connected Kingdoms. They were ancient and mysterious. And she knew...
Chapter 18 75. Collisions "I don't care what she says, Frank, I want to talk with her. We have been apart for more than 15 hours, that's longer then we have been apart for more than our entire lives. I made a childish mistake, and if she can't forgive me for it, I will kill myself. I don't need a gun, knife, or any man-made object to do it, and she knows i...
Today is the day. How I am looking forward to it! As I shower and get ready for picking you up, I recall how we met. Three months ago. I saw you, so lovely, so sexy, and vivacious. I asked you to the school dance with me and you accepted. My heart leaped with joy. Dancing with you and holding you -- it was so nice! Taking you home, our first kiss was at your...

"Go and fetch the Lady Beatrice," Jacqueline said. "See to it that she's clean and dressed, and fit to meet her family." "You wish me to do this? I am no maidservant." Constance gestured to Marie, where the chestnut-haired girl was sleeping curled in a tangle of linens on the floor, in Constance's makeshift bed. "Why not Marie?" "Be sensible, Constance," s...
Chapter 9: The Farmer's Daughter Dr. Casey Darden was supposed to be off duty, as far from the bustle of Boston as he could get within a half-day's drive; rolling Hills of Western Mass.; the yoga center down the way where he had had a spectacular massage that morning by a sturdy Chinese woman who spoke almost no English. Now he sat on the porch of his log...
Gail stepped out of one of the rooms accessing the work that she would have to do and thinking of so many ideas that would be great addition. She couldn't deny that there was so much potential here especially with since it's like working with a blank canvas. She couldn't help but notice the work her brother in law had done was phenomenal. Normally, she didn'...
As always, I recommend reading the previous chapters for continuity. And thank you for reading. * Entering the bedroom, I slip off my shirt and bra, letting them fall onto the floor. Pulling back the comforter, I slip between the soft flannel sheets. Drawing the blankets up and over me, I look towards the door, waiting for you to follow me to bed. As you...
In a daze, I stared at Master Geoff with a broken spirit look, while I awkwardly massaged my wounded cheek with cuffed hands. I realized I'd sport finger-like bruises for at least a week.
