Readers: This is a fictional story told in the first person, although there's nothing fictional about treating others with dignity and respect. It's also longer than most of my stories. It takes time to understand the characters. Although there is some sex and a lot of nudity involved, it's not a quick-jerkoff piece. There are some very talented writers o...
A few months have elapsed since the end of the last chapter. The story continues ... Chapter 6 Beginnings and Endings Vira stood tall and proud, dressed in an outfit her mother had recently purchased just for the occasion. The deep green of the short and sensual dress looked perfect clinging tightly around her lean svelte body. Long, pure black hair that...
It was February when my parents died in a car accident, on a cold and snowy day, like all February days seemed to be in Minneapolis. I was their only daughter. I'd had a sister once, Chloe was her name, but she died at a very young age due to a rare genetic disorder. Chloe's death had motivated my father, a brilliant geneticist, to dedicate his work towards...
Ellen, I think to myself, you are so silly for being here. Here is a loud house party in a different part of town. The voice in my head scolds me, "Girl, you don't even like this hard rock kind of music. You should never have come here with that skanky girl from your sorority. You hardly even know her." There I am a college junior who should know better. I...
High summer had rolled in without warning that year, and everything seemed lethargic under the hot noon sun. It was the stretch of year between Memorial and Labor Day, the perfect time for all things outdoors. The lake was filled with boats, which motored along noisily in the distance. Tanners stretched across the beaches, taking in the precious rays that po...
Chapter Twelve: Anchors aweigh Ted's point of view I grabbed Lisa and ran toward the parked cars even though I didn't think we would make it. The Pinto accelerated hard, the eyes of her brother slitted above a snarl. I felt an instinctive need to close my eyes when he slammed on the brakes and screeched to a halt just a few feet from us. The rough idle of...
When he arrived at work on the day of the presentation, Harry noticed that Mrs. Kowalski was still at the desk, and Veronica was nowhere within sight. He felt himself sink a little. It would have been nice to think he could have gotten a shot of confidence from her support that morning, but apparently he was on his own. When he said his good morning, and ope...
Not for the first time, Jane sat amongst a crowd of friends and wondered why she even bothered. They were all good, conservative Christians. Believers of the One Truth. Follow-the-rules type virgins. Pitiful in Jane's humble opinion. Not that she wasn't a Christian, she was. Just not as literally as all her friends were. Well...almost all of them. For the pa...
Laura closed the door behind her and leaned against it, breathing hard. She felt its reassuring hardness press against her and the warmth of her apartment just start to seep into her wet clothes and warm her cold, damp body. It had been a long day. A long day and a hard day, full of irritating requests and difficult clients. She could take satisfaction in t...
The door slammed shut behind her and the loud sigh rang through the empty cottage as she irritably kicked off her shoes while throwing her bag and coat onto the sofa. The trip from London had been a bitch, the traffic heavy, sheeting rain, and flooded roads. The journey normally took anywhere between 2 to 2 ½ hours, today it had taken nearly four. Emily wen...
