Mrs. Jackson pulled her Denali into the circle drive before parking the car in front of the entrance to the North Kansas City Medical Center. Sweat poured off her forehead and her body ached from the workout she had just completed at the gym. She glanced at the doors as she took a sip from her water bottle. The cold liquid dripped down her chin and onto her...
Alex worked in a large office building, which received and distributed large paper documents from other businesses. He had only been there for one year and had moved up considerably, much faster than others that had been there for years. Mostly because he worked hard, he was always taught, if you're going to do something then do it right the first time; he c...
Jennifer was sitting in an interview room in the base stockade across the table from her was Lt. Chad Smith the Military defense lawyer and J. Johnson a civilian defense attorney. They were waiting for Sargent Charles Macklin who was accused of beating a female soldier almost to death. The door opened and a young man of about 23 walked in in handcuffs. The...
Highway 101, five PM on a Friday. Got to love it. Fucking sucks. God dam traffic jams. "I hate this fuckin' place," she screams out her window. Eight lanes of traffic and not one car moving. People are getting out of their transportation and milling around waiting. For what? Something? Anything to move. Fuck! Sandra Livingston, age 33, professional driv...
There were three quarters on the booth table. I looked out through the front window of the diner, just in time to watch the old guy peel out of the parking lot. It was one of those moments when waiting tables could really suck. He owns a brand-new Corvette, I thought, and leaves me a crappy 75-cent tip. What an asshole. What a fucked-up shift. Despite my fr...
Not having a telephone number, I wrote Laura as soon as I got back to the states, telling her that I was being discharged and that I would see her soon. As of the 21st I was a civilian again. I spent the next two days looking for a suitable car, settling on a two-year-old Toyota with low mileage. It took two days to cross California and one half of Arizona...
The idea when Steve and I got married was that I would continue to work at my job in the city library but that the real money would be coming in from his job at a prominent merchant bank. Since what I'm about to tell is true and I will have to refer to people who will be recognisable from the details I will be providing, I'd better not actually name the bank...
It was late Saturday morning on the first morning of winter break, and I was just arriving home from the best night of my life. I'd been fantasizing about Terri, the teacher across the hall, since I'd met her in August. I'd spent the better part of the previous night and that morning living out those fantasies. Exhausted, I climbed the steps of my loft apa...
I was in the middle of a woodworking project in my workshop and found myself in need of some lumber and a few other items. I didn't have much time as I was trying desperately to finish my project to keep my customer happy. I jumped into my pickup and sped over to Home Depot to purchase my supplies. Pulling into the parking lot I noticed a shapely woman abou...
