I had known Dave for some years, but only cyberly on an internet forum, both of us being from different parts of the US, although originally from different parts of the world and though he was nearly double my age I felt we always had a special affinity from day one. We had talked on every subject over the years but the one thing that had stuck in my mind w...
As she hit the M6 a huge smile spread across her face. She could feel the end of the journey nearing a close. It had been a long day. The fact that she had decided to drive to the Lake District from her home town was very out of character and nothing she had ever considered before. Being out of character seemed to be a recurring theme. But she did have an...
I work for a flooring company and it's my job to check the finished floor once fitted. I enjoy my job and it's a nice chance for me to give good customer service -- there's always room for improvement and better opportunities to stretch the company's boundaries. On this particular day, I had a 4-hour long drive ahead of me to a customer's house. It was quite...
It's never happened; both of us in the same city for more than a day and being able to share the same flight out. I have business in Paris and you are on a shoot but we'll be able to hook up after our days and spend some time. Even better, I know you don't like flying so am keen to try and take your mind off things and distract you. I've been teasing you wi...
This is the final installment of Journey Onward. It has been so much fun bringing you this tale, and I hope you enjoy this last chapter. ***** Dinner at Mr. C's was delicious. Jake remembered the place well from his younger days, and couldn't believe that it hadn't changed at all. It still had the various hats hanging from the ceiling that had been there...

She listened and counted, one ring, two, three, four, five, Samantha picked the receiver up. “H, Hello?” she said hesitatingly. “Hello little one”, replied a familiar soft male voice. Samantha’s heart missed a beat, was Master cancelling h...
She felt relief stepping out of the car at the DIY store. It was only a 5 minute journey from home, but she had felt every bump along the road through her aching backside. Several times over the past 2 weeks she had tried to see how far she could push him without being punished. On each occasion, he had threatened to punish her disobedience, and each time...
I had spent a very pleasant evening down in Poole with the rest of the football team for the end of season meal. I was driving though and whilst others had made their way into Mint; I had decided that my evening was done. Returning to my car I started off on my journey home, living in Wimborne I figured on empty roads I would be back at my flat in fifteen mi...
I was in my sitting room watching the latest video Tony had sent us from Australia. It seems he has become more and more accomplishes at making them. Each new DVD shows us something of their new life Down Under. My cousin, his wife, is shown to be very involved in her church, reviving it from the sleepiness it had sunk into in the years prior to their arriva...
Everything here feels harsh and bright, hard and unyielding, all sharp edges. I find it almost impossible to believe that I was ever part of this life; this harsh, unrelenting cacophony of noise and motion as millions of dead eyed souls rush around me like fast moving water around a boulder. London may only be a short flight from Spain but it feels like a di...
