Every girl has the dream of being a movie star. I was no exception. Though my family did not have much money, and we lived in a small Georgia town, my Mom shared my dream of me becoming a somebody. The somebody that she never was, except to me. She paid for years of dancing and voice lessons. Mom and Dad scraped up enough money to sent me to Vassar. I thin...
So I won the lottery a couple months ago. Maybe you saw me? Then again, maybe you didn't. I tried to keep a low profile. It was the multi-state mega millions, 170 million dollars. It took several weeks, but the money was finally wired to my bank. After "cash value" and taxes, I cleared 63 million dollars. I had been playing the lottery a long time and figure...
Nothing starts me off right like a good meeting with a regular, this one in particular sitting in his fancy office, while I'm on my knees with my head buried in his lap, earning my keep the easy way. Mr. Greene is (or was, I don't keep track) a city councilman, slightly younger and cleaner-cut than my usual regulars, with a thing for watching women who aren'...
"Is this presentable enough?" Gabi swirled around in the middle of her room, wearing a fitted red dress that melded to her frame perfectly; it covered everything from her neck to her calves. She felt like the dress was suffocating her but what else could she do? All of her dresses were bought by her mother and approved by David. Mary looked over her outfit...
I received a certified letter requesting my presence at the law offices of Wiggins & Sloan in Albuquerque, New Mexico for the following Monday. I had no idea why a lawyer would want to meet with me, but I cleared my schedule for the day to attend. The day of the meeting I arrived and was asked to wait until Andrew Sloan was available. The pretty receptioni...
My name is David. I'm a young black man attending Harvard Medical School. I've also been blessed and cursed with the Gift of Telepathy. The ability to read people's minds. It's a power that has come in handy more times than I can count. I discovered it a long time ago, and I've always kept it to myself. When you're a telepath, you know many things about peop...
No, I don't mean it like that, in the sense that she's a slut, or loose with guys, in the way you might refer to somebody who was promiscuous in high school, or in the way it's fashionable for young ladies now to refer to each other as "bitch" or "ho." Rather, she is a genuine whore - that is, a prostitute, who makes her living by having sex with men in exch...
Prologue Joanna sat by the riverbank watching the Black Kite dipping and soaring. "How beautiful it looks," she thought, "yet how cruel." Birds in the trees along the river sounded their alarm cries and took to flight at the approach of the predator. Small animals, if they spotted the raider, fled for burrows or quivered beneath fallen tree trunks and fol...
Sunday afternoon, April 19, 1987, Amanda Lewis and Jack Nicholson were headed back down Routes 1 and 101, leaving Santa Barbara and headed back to Los Angeles. Jack had asked Amanda if she wanted to attend the Lakers' game with him that evening, since he had pairs of season tickets to all the home games, and Amanda had excitedly accepted. The Lakers had bee...
Almost a year later and Shannon is returning home after a fruitless search for Stan. This is the conclusion to Consequences-Shannon & The Promise. Edited by LadyCibelle with my thanks. Consequences-Shannon: The Promise -- Part two I looked out the window of the plane as we looped out over Lake Michigan before making our final approach into Chicago O'Hare....
