The light of the full moon shone brightly on the placid water as my pontoon boat bobbed gently in this quiet cove at the northern end of Lake Martin. The lake was over 44,000 acres and had over 750 miles of shoreline with a couple of thousand homes located in various coves, but the cove I was in this evening was peaceful and isolated with only trees lining t...
Recently divorced and owning a 'cheaters' restaurant in Los Angeles, I must tell you about an event that was the most scintillating of my life. Arthur, a married entertainer, had been a regular in my restaurant. He and his wife Catherine were both charming and outgoing. Many of the times they were here for drinks, dinner and dancing, they brought other inter...
Standing next to Paul, both of us dressed up in our stereotypical, sexy maid outfits, I watched as Lori shut the front door on my girlfriend, Cheryl. Since Cheryl and Lori worked for the company, they made a little bet on whose boyfriend would finish the distance quickest in the "Walk a Mile in Her Shoes" march and who would collect more money in support of...
By Likegoodwinecopyrighted January 2011 Your votes and constructive comments are appreciated as they will help me grow. Coming out of the hospital, I was in a haze. My life had been turned upside down (or inside out as I felt right now) with the result of a simple test. I couldn't and wouldn't go back home now. I had to think. So I headed toward a bar no...
I arrived at Paul's house about an hour later. I'd stopped off at the office and talked with Adriana and explained that if Deanna called, I was out of the office on a local job. She'd raised her eyebrow at that, but not asked questions -- her famous 'I don't give a fuck' demeanor in full force. I knocked on the door to Paul's house and there was Solomon, ti...
I thought that I had a fairly normal life; some ups, some downs, but many more positives than negatives. At the start of this tale I had married Joyce, the first woman that I had truly fallen in love with, twenty four years ago. We had two boys, Dylan and Parker, who were at the start of this tale enjoying the beginning of the summer break before their senio...
If this story seems familiar, you may have come across it on another site and in a different format from a couple of years back. It has been re-named and re-edited for this site. Catherine noticed as soon as it turned the corner down on Luke and third, it lacked the normal rusted patina that the majority of the motor vehicles from around this way normally s...
It was winter, and even in Atlanta it gets cold, but my London Fog overcoat cut the chill down quite nicely, thank you. I naively assumed I could just fly up to Boston on business, but I hadn't paid any attention to the weather. They were snowed under, and that meant a week's delay at least, which I confirmed by phone. My wife had already driven off toward h...
This is a Halloween story with some paranormal activity. A big 'Thank You' to WanderingScot for taking the time to edit my story and make it a much better read. * This story starts out like many we have read before. I was out in the garage and my wife Alice was in the house. The phone rings and we both pick up the receiver at the same time. Before I can sa...
Chapter 46 – Epilogue Lisa Campbell woke up at 5:30 a.m. She stretched, sat up, and watched with satisfaction as her two attendants crisply knelt forward and placed their foreheads to the floor. She looked out her bedroom window to check the weather. It was a dreary late October morning and the thermometer outside read 42 degrees. The reading meant the unif...
