As a first semester senior, 22-year-old Maggie needed a few extra bucks to support her weekend entertainment. She'd seen a flier advertising the university's need for tutors in all subjects, so she'd sent her application to the advising office and had been accepted as a tutor. She typically tutored sophomores and juniors in upper-level political science clas...
The food had seemed tasteless to Diane, her mind preoccupied with Michael's question and her evasion. Where was this relationship going? Moreover, where did Michael want the relationship to go? There had to be a reason behind this sudden desire for direction and Diane fret over it until the pair had begun the return walk to her apartment. "Michael?" she be...
He looks into the mirror mounted over the bathroom sink and runs his hand through his hair. "Another day of mundane" he thinks. His reflection stares back with a blank disposition. Hell. Same old shit again. He leans against the sink resting a palm on each side, looking into his own eyes and finding nothing there. No spark, no life, no fire. Every little mom...
"Like a river, a sonata of sound; Love should lift you without remorse or second guessing." I recited casually to myself as I walked down the hallowed college hallways. "So often, within the raiment of intellect and desire I loose scope of love." I talk to myself often; I use it as a muse when there isn't a person to fill that void. I walked into my psychol...
Three weeks later... In a busy inn in one of the smaller towns in France two knights were talking. "Bad business with the Warbrookes and deRothchilds. That Countess of Warbrooke is -" "A vicious bitch," replied his companion calmly. Lowering his voice, the first knight replied, "I hate to agree - but you're right. The deRothchilds are doing everything fo...
Hands played lightly over her red silk dress. Through the lace of her bra and the smooth fabric of the dress her nipples pressed forward. For the first time in what seemed like ages warmth blossomed deep in her loins. She lifted her arms to tousle and hold her styled hair inviting him, daring him, to go further. Under the strobing lights and pulsing rhythm o...
It was late at night, around 11:00 p.m. I was downstairs lying on the couch and reading a magazine. I noticed you were out of the room for a very long. We had been arguing all afternoon and evening, so I figured you’d gone to the room to have some solitude. I thought about what had happened during the day, and I felt like I needed to apologize. So I went to...
Not The Usual Day At The Office As I walked into the office, I felt myself heave an overly loud sigh of distress... When did this job from Hell ever end? I thought to myself. I swear, some days I just felt like crawling in a hole and dying, some days I felt like committing suicide, and the cause of it all was my boss, my overly commanding boss. If there was...
The Sun beat down; its intense rays piercing the cold wind like a knife. The leaves on the few trees in the barren mountain landscape rustled fiercely in the blowing wind. All was silent; the entire landscape for miles around was empty of all forms of life. Apart from them. Vegeta could barely control himself as he landed on a tall, natural pillar of rock. H...
"A story for my love." A bell chimed loudly in the cold afternoon air, harkening the time at 3:15pm. The train station upon which this exquisitely ornate clock-tower stood had been rather slow as of late. As the industrial age had dawned, swiftly reaching its peak, there was far less reason for people to visit such a small country village. Valhaven had all...
