Chris joined his father, Larissa, and Donnie Arnosky at court bright and early the next morning. He could tell Larissa was nervous, but knew she was also eager to put this chapter of her life behind her. The man, her former boss Yuri, had absolutely no shame. In front of the judge, he did everything in his power to make it seem like he was just protecting h...
She sat sullenly outside his office, kicking at the leg of the chair with the heel of her black loafer. She knew this was it. She was going to get expelled for sure, and there wasn't a damn thing she could do about it. She silently cursed her rotten luck. Just then the door opened. "He'll see you now," the voice said She looked up and saw the short, middle...
I'm sure that by now many have heard of Eileen Nearne, an eighty-nine year old woman who died alone in her flat in southwest England on September 2, 2010. With no known friends or relatives, the town of Torquay entered Miss. Nearne's tiny flat to search for records of someone to notify of the impending funeral. No living relative or friend was found; her on...
Shelly had been anticipating college for years... and it was finally here. At her state college. It had been so long since she had left her hometown; pulling up to the tall buildings of the eastern dormitories, each housing more people than had been in her small town, Shelly felt almost like she was moving to a city. Having been homeschooled for the last two...
This story goes back to when there were no mobiles and no internet or e-mail, so "Dating" personal adverts were largely confined to newspapers, with voicemail for a prerecorded message to be heard and responded to. Telephone kiosks abounded, too. In the UK they had closing doors and were made up of tiny, thick, near-vandal-proof panes of glass and had heavy,...

As she let her twin brother in, she could not help but take in his transformative appearance. Since they bot...
I would die for you, I thought as I gently kissed Farizah Abdul-Majid's forehead. Gently I laid her on the bed, and tucked her in. For a long moment I stood there and looked at her, and smiled wistfully. How did a nitwit like me get so lucky? I don't know, but I'm definitely counting my blessings. Outside Farizah's bedroom window, the storm raged. Another la...
Cassandra was the young lady who lived in the unit across the hall from mine. In actual fact her parents lived there but she resided with her parents. She was a redhead, nice figure (very nice if you like a girl with large breasts), a bit of a temper (redhead, remember), reasonably fit, reasonably intelligent and a touch naïve. That last was to be expected w...
My boo is Haitian, and he's totally more chill and relaxed than the Somali and Arab guys I previously dated. He doesn't boss me around, criticize the way I dress or hassle me over tradition and other such nonsense. Even though we're from different cultures and faiths, or perhaps because of that, my Raymond and I get along wonderfully. My name is Zarah Hussei...
"Good grief, mom and dad, how do you expect a fella to get to know anyone if he's constantly moving from town to town?" I was bored to pieces in the back of the car, and mom and dad's cheery demeanor was really ticking me off. "Pipe down, Brendan, will ya? This is the last time we're moving. It's such a swell neighborhood!" Swell? Sure. That's what mom sai...
