Hello there I'm one of those guilty writers who lets months and months pass in between chapters. I have to apologise profusely for that, my life has turned into a soap opera of its own. Anywho, I hope that you enjoy this chapter. If this is your first venture into Topsy Turvy, it might be an idea to read from the beginning. Please do comment and vote and...
When I woke up this morning, it was on the cold side. It had been raining, off and on for two days and this morning the sun peaked out for a few minutes, just after dawn. Then it went back to a slow drizzling, cold rain. My girlfriend had kissed me goodbye as she left for a three day business trip, just before the rain started and was due home today. To say...
Osgood was quite liking the Nethersphere. Of course, being killed had been a huge inconvenience. She'd had a lot of things to do and she was sure there were several people who had been relying on her for work that would never be completed now. It really bothered her. She had also been expecting some packages, and there'd been a number of coupons she hadn't u...
Crystal smiled, and kept up appearances. While there was joy to be had in the annual Harper family Christmas gathering, the sting of what happened simply wouldn't allow her to fully enjoy the festivities. As everyone rose from their seats to adjourn to the kitchen to play Hearts, Crystal's mother asked, "Are you going to play?" She kept a smile on her face...
The Third Day "I think we're going to run out of Bisquick," Lisa Barnes told her boss. "How is that even possible?" the director of Camp Pocahontas wanted to know. The young woman absently twirled a finger in a lock of her raven hair. "Well, we thought we could stretch it until the next session, but apparently a bunch of the girls have started eating panc...
Mr. Lydal is on his way back from a business trip in Los Angeles. Somewhere in the deserts of Oklahoma he decides Chicago is too far to drive tonight. He pulls his company Lexus into a shitty little motel. The motel just screams tacky with the fake palm trees and the big plastic tiki statue. On the sign out front it says 'Sunny Pines Motel'. Mr. Lydal though...
Chapter 13 The Maiden's Wish I was sitting at my desk by the light of the two candles in the sunflower candle holders checking my calculations and making notes about the oats, when Roy pulled back my drapes and threw a bag on to my bed. "A go-fer girl dropped this off for you just now," he said. It had been six days since I had serviced the Soul Sisters of...
A special thank you to BlueMonteCarlo for all the work editing this piece. You're are fantastic. To everyone who has read, commented, and continues to read this story, Thank you! * I shake my head to try to get my brain back in the game. I step off the elevator to find him waiting for me. His eyes twinkle mischievously, and I wonder if he's thinking about...
Some feedback would be nice here, folks. ESS Serena Southerlyn was replaying the conversation she just had with her now ex-boss, District Attorney Arthur Branch, in her head while she was filling a box with her personal effects from her office. "A decision has already been made?" she had asked. "Yes, a decision has been made. You're fired," Arthur had sai...
Ashley and I stood at the bar sipping our drinks and finishing our conversation with the club manager. I looked back at our wives at the table whispering to each other and giggling. Trish and Lois were talking about sex. That's the way two women act when they're talking about sex. I wondered which guy in the club was doing which gal -- it had to be something...
