A Brief Preface: It's been a hectic time. I have several really long complicated stories at various stages of completion, but this one just emerged out of nowhere so I got it down on paper before I lost it. Hope you enjoy it. * It's all hindsight I guess. I came home late, after 9:00 p.m., and found my loving wife wasn't home. She hadn't left a message,...
Once again, the day dawned, or at least I opened my eyes to, a glorious sunny day which instantly put a huge smile on my face! I stretched like a languid kitten and enjoyed the feeling of, for once at least, not waking and jumping out of bed to the drudgery of choosing and then donning a set of clothes. I stared out the window at the tree and listened to t...
A luxury apartment on the banks of river Yamuna. When his parents talked about a gift as he was readying for college, he didn't expect them to go all out and buy him an apartment. Sanjay, being the only son was pampered enough by his parents already that he never felt short of anything. Like most Punjabi (a state in Northwest India) boys, Sanjay was fair....

Carla is a college student who is your neighbour. She was a very pretty young woman who didn't have the greatest level of intelligence or had the best of luck in life. More of that later. Your paths had crossed a few times as neighbours since you moved into your house down the street last year. She always seemed pleased to see you and her smile was like a pi...

Blake was in his cell with his cellmate passing the day away. His cell almost looked more like the inside of a space capsule than the traditional cage depicted in movies. There was nothing to do. He had already done his exercises and taken his daily shower. Because of his good behavior, he was allowed to check up to five books a week from the prison library....
My best friend in college had called me and told me he needed to talk to me. I had noticed he had been different with me and was worried that something was going on. We decided that we would hang in his apartment. He was a Junior and had a nice loft. It was a great one bedroom apartment that we would go to hang out whenever we wanted to get away from the col...
I have had a somewhat odd career. I went straight through college and law school. I spent 15 years working for a large law firm. That experience left me frustrated and bored. In my mid-30s, I felt forced to reassess my life and direction. I asked myself what did I really love? The answer was that I really loved sports. I was fortunate because I was able to g...
