"How long must we endure this damnable forest?" The complaint came, not surprisingly, from Fenrohir. He had long grown weary of the dark, oppressive canopy which seemed to close more tightly about him with each step. Strange vines hung here and there over the path; the more bothersome of these he slashed at with his short knife. His eyes darted all about hi...
It was an insignificant town and an insignificant restaurant. We were only looking for a quick lunch so that we could be back on the road in a hurry. We had a number of miles to travel that day so we had just come off the freeway, and found the first restaurant that appeared on the road. My wife was expecting a rather important phone call from a business ass...
I had met her through the internet. It was on a web site that was more for fun than for dating so I never expected I would meet someone interesting. She is pretty, sweet, intelligent and surprisingly sexy. The only problem is that she lives in the South West. We wrote emails at first then moved to chatting, then to talking and finally talking on cam. That ne...
The summer sun was high, taking the chill out of the morning. Mike knew it was going to be another hot day as he turned the SUV down the lake road. It was a holiday weekend, three days off from work, and he and his new wife, Emma, had decided to go on a nice camping trip, to get out of the house. He loved his wife very much, and knew she loved him in return....
Darius Marlane drew in a deep lungful of pine and wildflowers. He enjoyed the walk home through the sparsely covered rocky terrain, but he was in a hurry, so he kept his corded legs moving fast. "It's not wise to be out and about when the sun goes down!" Darius could hear the words of Nhelgrin the Blacksmith, his teacher, that morning before he had set off...
My name is Lynette Adler. I'm 26 and I live in New York City. I'm a curator at the Guggenheim Museum of Art. I love doing what I do and all, even though it has gotten kind of boring. My home life was also boring; my husband Derek, a Xerox salesperson, and I had a very large rift in our 6-year old marriage. All that plus my overprotective, overbearing mothe...
I swear, if you wear the Hijab on your damn head, you should get ready to have bozos make all kinds of assumptions about you based on that simple fact. Trust me, I would know. It's something I've dealt with my entire life. Such is the fate of observant Muslim ladies living in Western society. My name is Yasmin Rahman, and I'm a young woman living in the City...
When a woman truly loves a man, there's nothing she wouldn't do for him. I used to think this was a fairy tale. Something people tell themselves to feel better about the state of relationships today. Then I met a big and tall, manly Black guy who swept me off my feet. Jacob Saint-Simon, a Brockton-area Haitian-American State Police Officer, changed my world....
Hello Sue, I'd like to extend my greetings to all of my Raytheon friends who are still working in Fullerton. I sure miss you all! The people I clean for here in El Segundo are nice enough, but they can't compare with you. I had a chance to look around a bit in your new building and I have to admit that it was as clean as can be expected. It seems your new c...
I've never been a leader but also don't follow the sheep. A different type of story... because I'm different. MY LAWYERS, PSYCHIATRISTS, THOSE MANY VOICES IN MY HEAD, AND WIFE MADE ME ADD THIS. You can't sue me, I'm legally insane and I may be an illegal alien. I have written that I believe in treating women as equals. Yes, that is true. But, we all ha...
