Left*o*vers For the hell of it I went on line and typed in the word leftover. What I came up with was both funny and disturbing. There were over 7,000,000 hits. Now, I like to surf the web, but I was not going to waste a beautiful Saturday afternoon going to every link. So I copied down some interesting facts, and thought I would pass them along. The word...
Thank you to LadyCibelle and Techsan for editing my story and making it a better read for all of us. * Chapter 1: Life hasn't been the best. Dad and I were returning from our hunting trip. We had just bagged an eight point buck, and I did the actual shooting this time. It was nice walking through the woods with my dad. A chance to get back to nature after...
If asked to describe her life up to this point, Lucy would most probably have said boring or average. The eldest daughter, her parents had been happily married for over 25 years. Her father was an accountant, her mother a primary schoolteacher. Her sister was 2 years younger than Lucy and although, like all siblings they argued occasionally, on the whole the...
I arrived on campus that Saturday morning, wide eyed and ready for the world. Even though I was in the car with my parents, I felt like I was truly moving on, and ahead in my life. High school was just a distant memory at this point, and I couldn't be happier about that. Don't get me wrong, I look back on those years fondly, now. But, at the time, it was fou...
(Set in New Zealand) Chapter 1 Dee Dee (her real first name) Ascot-Jones faces a big problem. Well, don't we all, several times a day in fact, especially if we handle a high-powered job or dysfunctional teenagers? But no. Dee Dee's problem is a matter of the heart. And no, she's not afflicted by an under-performing valve or a faulty blood supply. She's in...
Special thanks on this one to Randi for all her help and expertise. She is truly knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. ***** A wise man once said, "Choose to surround yourself with people who want the best for you." I learned the hard way that these words couldn't be truer. It's easy to find friends who aren't good for you. The trick is to identify t...
School's out! School's out! Teachers let the monkey's out! That old familiar refrain that I remember yelling so many times on that last day of school, when it meant three months of wonderful vacation, no classes, no homework, no mean teachers getting in your face about something you supposedly had done, or hadn't done. It was a wonderful day, like no other...
If you hate cheaters and apparent non-consent isn't your thing, you might want to pass on this one. Sorry. *********** The title may be a little misleading. there is a good bit having to do with environmentalism in this story but the climate change has more to do with my outlook on life and endeavors. It kind of reminds me of the 1919 release song written...
It was just supposed to be a stupid prank. The glue shouldn't have been strong enough to do much more than tug at Ms. Madison's pants. At most, it would maybe tear them a little, Alex thought, but he'd been wrong. Her pants clung to the chair as she stood up to discuss existentialism and the novel they were supposed to be reading for class. The chair lifted...
In the past couple weeks, Sam and her friends had had all of their usual fun, hanging out after school and on the weekends and playing games, watching movies, joking, everything they always did. However, 2 things had changed, both drastically for the better. First, she and Dan had started seriously dating. They went to the movies and the mall, attended scho...
