I made the turn onto the street that led to my house in a nice middle class neighborhood and made my way to the driveway where I lived. I waited while the garage door opened and saw my next-door neighbor pushing a lawn mower out of her garage onto her driveway. I pulled my car in and turned off the engine. It took a few minutes to carry the groceries into th...
Chapter Nine A week and two days passed without much going on, and at the same time I was very busy with signing royalty contracts. Lia and Mia continued to work long hours, and I found myself hoping it would end soon. They were doing fifteen to twenty contracts a day, and we were up to over two hundred of them so far. Mia, as far as I knew, was also spen...
*Editing magic performed by KJ24 and Shyqash, plus contributions by the regular gang of brigands and neer-do-wells* *Would you choose ephemeral beauty, or rugged determination?* *Please note: I wrote this before the incidents in Paris and San Bernardino, which makes some of the fantasy story developments tragic in that life sometimes mirrors fantasy* ****...
Hey guys! Sorry for the wait. I made this one a bit longer and have typed most of the next one as well so it won't be so long between submission. Thanks again for the comments and if you have any suggestions, hit me with those too! :-) ***** I remember being lowered to a bed and hearing voices. Dreaming, I must be dreaming. I tried to focus on them. One o...
I had been planning on ending this at thirteen, you know just say she died in childbirth or something. Except I couldn't do that, so many were saying that I had to keep going on this. In fact one of those is right... OH MY GOD, LOOK OUT BEHIND YOU. So I didn't get you to look, at least that is the lie that I will believe, and likely best to never admit to l...
My name is Jennifer Yang. I was your typical Asian-American princess born and raised in southern California. I was attending UCLA majoring in business, intent on professional success and marrying well. But then I fell in with a bad crowd (according to my parents) and everything changed. They were Hollywood types; stuntmen to be specific. A stuntman stands i...
They talk a lot about the blackness of outer space. Yet, you only realize how black it is, when you open your eyes during a dark Earth night. What you notice is that the absence of light appears as a dark gray with a lot of colorful squiggles running across your vision. You open and close your eyes. And, you can't tell the difference. So, like with your eyes...
Thank you everyone for the kind words and feedback!! This has been a fun and educational process and I am already looking forward to spin off stories!! ***** Stretched out on Lulu's bed she's sleeping quietly, another lost day. We have to go back to reality at some point though. I want to talk to her, but every time I try to broach the subject of us she...
Chapter 57: A New Dream The drive back was uneventful, and the rest of the day was spent to put things away, plan our agendas and come back to real life. Weeks came and went, and we had one major problem. The due diligence we had ordered when we had looked at the company in Southern Australia was full of flaws, and I assumed that fraud was involved. It too...
This one is long, but I hope you'll stick with it, it covers the action of Monique's cabaret-debut weekend. There are references throughout to earlier incidents about which I've written. I've put in a little context where relevant, but you can go back to the earlier tales if you want to find out more. You'll get more of the back story of other main character...
