"Things ought to be different," Charles Antoine said to himself as he walked out of the Best Cuts barber shop, located in the west end of Ottawa. There were five other people, all of them Africans, waiting for cuts when he got off the chair. There aren't that many black-owned barber shops in the west, especially in places like Nepean, Barrhaven or Kanata. Fo...
Diana Richards heard her husband Charles saying something about John Wayne. She saw how the look on his face changed as he practically dropped a platter onto the picnic table. Oh, God...he knows it's true... When they had met that day in the hospital after her attack, Wayne had given nothing of his emotions away... He'd only looked concerned! But Charles...

By two o'clock in the afternoon on Christmas Eve, Diana Richards was explaining where they were going to her husband Charles as he and his partner, Tom Seldon, loaded their overnight bags into the trunk of the car.

As the grass grew that summer he came to terms with her complex moods and gained her trust, something her husband had never done. They never actually became lovers, but Sandra never seemed to mind his dog-like devotion, and for Charles, it was better than nothing. Of course, all this sex and gardening had filled Charlie's head so much, he was oblivious to...
"So... tell me Zella, what is this crazy thing that happened today you just had to tell me all about?" Charles said as he sipped his smoothie and sat with his girlfriend on the bench in the park where they could watch the sun setting on the hot summer evening. "This white girl came in to my shop today." "So? White girls come to get tatted and pierced all t...
Sweetheart, I want to talk to you. You haven't told me anything about your trip. Did you enjoy yourself? That's good. Was your family happy to see you? That's nice. No… I'm ok. I wasn't aware I'd been distant since you returned. What did I do? Not much. I'm sorry, you're right, that was a very vague answer. Maybe we should sit down and talk. I've been meanin...
We had met Charles and Judy hiking in the mountains the week before whilst holidaying in the mountains and had been as surprised at their ages as they were at ours. Although they looked their 10 years apart, they looked more like mid 30s and mid 40s rather than 41 and 50. Judy hadn't had children and it showed – the outdoor life had kept her figure looking f...
Charles Dartington and the Amazon Airship Pirates (part II) 4. Miss Elphinstone's Dilemma The next morning, Charles awoke with, he realised, a foolish smile on his face, to discover that he was alone in his bed. Then he noted that the upper bunk above him seemed occupied, and he realised that both the women must be there. As quietly as he could manage, h...
It was after noon on Sunday now, the last day of their honeymoon in Vegas, and Charles and Diana Maitland Richards both realized they were getting very hungry...for food!
