A few years ago, my wife's sister, Carol, got us into one of those network sales programs. We did pretty well at first, but after about a year, things began to dry up. In an attempt to boost our business, we decided to go to the national conference to learn how the successful people in the business made it work. We made our reservations, but as the time for...
Thank you SKS for the initial idea and for reading it for me. Don't forget to vote!!! It was around six in the evening and Chris was trying to finish his project so he could go home to his loving wife. As he tried to finish his proposal, he started to hear the printer behind him having issues. He turned in his chair to attempt to unjam it to no avail....
Victoria glanced out of the window of the limousine as it crept its way down a rainy London street. The lights of streetlamps and shopfronts were reflected on the wet pavements which were crowded with people fighting against the downpour, scurrying along with their heads down. Victoria turned her gaze from the window and looked at her agent sitting across fr...
Dearest readers, I apologize for this one being a bit longer. It's hard to resist the temptation to write. *** There was a chill in the air as we stepped out of the car, close enough to Lake Wakatipu to smell the delicate fresh water. This was the first time I've ever been to New Zealand, and being the fantasy nerd I am, it was everything I could ever hop...
We met when we were both in-between - that period of limbo between relationships, when you aren't sure what will come next, or how long you might be in-between. Her husband had lost interest in her after she had put on a few pounds - while he himself had put on more than a few. One night she came home after work to find him gone. I, too was separated, and h...
You arrive at my office in your gym clothes and sneakers. You followed the instructions I left for you earlier in the day - taking your panties and bra off in the car. On the way, you drove with one hand on the wheel and the other down your pants. You played the little game I taught you last summer - today, the code word was "red" - so every time you saw som...
Angela Knox stood in her walk in closet, shuffling through her clothes wondering what she was going to wear. It had been a few days since her daughter had handed her the letter from Mr. Smythe requesting a parent teacher conference. She was nervous, not because of what the conference was about, because her daughter was very studious with good grades. She wa...
The next morning I picked her up, and we drove to the coast. The trip had a two fold purpose. The practical side was to get tires on my truck. The totally impractical, fantasy come true, was this really happening side of the experience was spending the day with a woman who had completely stolen my heart. For a fleeting moment, it occurred to me that I had...
Chapter two: Kat Kicks Off Her Internship This is module two, chapter two. This is a novella of sorts. The intent is to have 4 modules total covering different times in our main characters life. While it is feasible to read any of these independently, this is a carryover story, so reading them in order is beneficial. In module one, our main character, Kat...
The waning sun cast a molten sheen over the seemingly infinite expanse of the Pacific ocean, far below me. I was in my thirteenth hour of a trans-Pacific flight when the plane began to descend. On the horizon a tiny, distant blotch of land emerged, which gradually began to look like Taiwan. I made random movements of my limbs, reassuring myself that some blo...
