Simon didn't know exactly when it was that he first began to Nudge the minds of those around him. But he was certain that the first time he realized he was doing it was one recent summer day at the Save-Rite grocery store, when the clerk showed him her breast. She was about 40, dark-haired with a little curl of bang in front, a short woman with wide hips an...
These stories I am telling you about are facts and real life experiences, not fiction. However, to protect our identity I have changed our names to keep the lunatics off our front porches. My name is Jackie. I'm a sports coach at a local school in Tampa, Florida. I am in my late thirties. I'm just a normal woman, with an average build, fairly attractive and...
The walk home from Ann's house was a quick one. I was moving quickly, wanting to get home and get to sleep. It wasn't that I was so tired. It was more that I wanted to go to bed so that I could wake up in the morning and start my last day with Ann. We'd agreed that we were going to go out on a date. A Saturday night, bona fide, one hundred percent authenti...
JUNE "I'll have another glass of wine," she sighs to the bartender. He pours the glass and then travels down to the rowdy guys watching the game. Lisa is late. This is nothing new. What's particularly annoying tonight is that June wanted to go home and take a long, hot bath and soak until she was one big prune. Her graduate classes aren't going as she tho...
Two over heard conversations led to both the best and worst times of my life. I know it sounds confusing, but then ain't that life? ++++++++++++++++++ I wasn't even supposed to be there. I had flown to Chicago to renegotiate a contract with a supplier who had missed several delivery dates. I got to the supplier only to be told that there would be no talks...

I'm hoping to get back to being more constant with posting on here, now that things are settling down just a little. I wrote this one over a month ago but, it needed a lot of work done, and I just got back to finishing it up. I hope you enjoy. I did leave it open for more a...
Stave I December 19th, 2017 The halls were decked and the banister was wrapped in a tinsel-holly aberration created by Tom. In fact, if you looked around the whole house, it was all Tom's doing. The lights around the windows, an obsession of his from two Christmases ago. The fiber-optic tree, no doubt found in a sky-mall catalog from their last trip to the...
Chapter 8 The morning dew dried up and I started to paint the white clapboard on the house. I had painted the sunny side in the morning so I could do the shady side when the sun hot later in the day. I was making good progress and figured if the weather stayed nice I could start the trim day after tomorrow. Grace had bought a dark red for the trim and I was...

Thanks for reading my little story. I love comments, questions, and thoughts about how I can improve. Compliments are good, constructive criticism is better. Love it or hate it, I beg you tell me why. WORD COUNT: 10,150 * Ben walked into the lunch room. Microwaves hummed and dinged. The mixed-media aroma of last night's leftovers filled the room and a doz...
