Chapter 1 - Robert's Apartment Chicago attorney Robert Johnson sat down at his office desk at 8:00 as usual. Behind him was a plate glass window that overlooked Lake Michigan, but he was in no mood to enjoy the view. Today is December 10, he reflected, exactly six months since Amy, the daughter of his law partner and friend John Debbs, had disappeared. It h...

I thank my LadyCibelle and Techsan for their patience, proof reading, editing skills. Clarification: - Quite often in the UK, when someone refers to their local pub, they aren't necessarily talking about a public house that is nearest to where they live or work.

***Author's note - this is not a normal loving wives' story in that it doesn't revolve around cheating, or almost cheating, but the impact of a 'loving' wife's attitude and impact on the lives of others. If you need a sex related story, this isn't it. Also, none of these characters are real. This is purely fiction and any semblance to someone in real life...

It's a strange place, that few have heard of and even fewer have seen. Five hundred miles off the Pacific Coast of Mexico, the 6-mile-long Saint Agobard Island rises from the ocean, defying the waves which crash gently on its rocky shores. Hundreds of years ago, two ships full of Spaniards landed on the uninhabited island and dubbed it La Isla de San Agobar...
I don't know if it's a myth or has a scientific basis but in Sociology 101 in college I, Derick Dawson, studied the unusual incidence of albinism in Hopi Indians (I've been told by the indigenous people I know that they like to be called Indians not Native Americans so that's what I'll use despite the possibility of offending some people). According to the m...
