-1- The expectation of what might happen and what could happen built the whole month. In the final week, I refused each of David's several advances. Repeating "I really want to wait 'til Friday." Reminding him "nothing heightens my pleasure as much as the anticipation." And promising, "good things come to those who wait." On Thursday night, I suddenly fo...
"I'm coming out of my cage and I'm been doing just fine." It was busy afternoon in Ganges bar for a change, I guess everyone was in the celebration mood before New Year's Eve. Shannon was behind the bar as usual on the Friday. As always, she looked really good. She'd look good even if she was wearing an old potato sack (for those of you who are old enough t...
CHAPTER THIRTEEN I was always of the opinion that when you got people to work for you, and you were confident in their abilities you left them alone to get on with the job. Tina was constantly nagging me to go up and inspect the work. Her constant refrain was that Aleksy needed my approval for many things. I replied that Aleksy was competent and did not nee...
© Copyright 2006, 2007 Chapter 14—The Fourth Estate It had been less than a week since James visited Miss Martin in the County Office Building.

CHAPTER 22 I enjoyed Brian's writing although I thought it somewhat fanciful. Bella was in tears when she finished reading. "I feel so much for Adelaide." She declared. "Finding love with the man she couldn't have and yet devoting her life to him." She stopped and looked at me. "When we are married we must go up to the old house and tell them." I must have...
Phil awoke confuses because he was no longer in his bed, in fact he was standing upright against the wall. As his eye focused he looked around and noticed he was stuck to the wall with some sort of green solid she'll holding him there. It looked like something out of an alien movie or something. He struggle to get free but he couldn't move at all. "What the...
The super market was crowded; as it usually was on Saturdays. "Don't you wish you'd have stayed home," Mother?" Bobby asked Louise. Louise Chandler shrugged. "We haven't gone anywhere in the last three months. I was beginning to go stir crazy." Bobby briefly grabbed his mother's hand, squeezed it lightly and then let it go. "I know, Mother. We were beginni...
Caldwell Pharmaceuticals was the name over the big corporation tower that stood in the center of Manhattan where Jessica Kennedy had been working since graduation. Going into the elevator she made her way to the 9th floor. Joey the security guard winked as she went by as usual—Joey made her laugh, always bringing a smile to her full, red lips. With a flick o...
Part Two - Sarah They stopped for the night at a Holiday Inn Express on the outskirts of a nondescript town; they snagged a ground floor room that opened onto the parking lot. An hour out from the diner where they had lunch the man had to pull over so the librarian could upchuck her lunch. "I told you it was too much," she sobbed between heaves. "It's bec...
There was little point in staying in the area, but we had booked for the two nights, so I suggested that for the rest of the day we went back and Tina could see the land I had bought.
