As I gazed out the window holding my mug of coffee, I admired the freshly fallen snow on the front yard and my car. My location was Montana and while I missed my family back home in Washington, snow was something beautiful to look at. After marrying my husband James, we moved to this snowy state to help him further his career as a construction worker and so...
The day before had been a rough one and the only excitement was seeing first a moving truck then a black sports car of definitely foreign origin arrive at the house next to mine. I had been standing over the sink when they both pulled up and one of my mother's friends; who by the way is a total bitch and dresses like a hooker, stepped out of the passenger se...
My mother used to let out some apartments. For a while, I would help out collecting rents and so on. One of the apartments was let by a woman and her daughter. The daughter was in her late 30's, the mother about 60, I guess. I will call her Mrs Ronson, she was a sweet little old lady. I used to visit during the day when the daughter was out at work - I was...
To have made it back to the apartment in three minutes was nothing short of impressive, but there I stood outside the front door panting. As I regained my composure and breath, I noticed the faint smell of sugar cookies, Jaycee's favorite smell. Upon discovering their existence, she stocked up on what seemed like a lifetime supply of scented candles of their...
I admired myself in the mirror, and smiled. _Damn, I look good for 30. _I mused, and glanced up at my husband, Jonah. He had combed back blond hair, which was where our baby girl, Daisy, got hers from. At eight, she was already a wild child, and tore up the halls of her elementary school. To my utter shock, she’s “dated” three boys. Why do little kids even...
For the rest of his life, Braeden could not remember how he found the cottage. One moment he was sitting in his apartment debating the virtues of getting out of bed today, when he was overcome with a sudden desire to take a walk. Which, in retrospect, always seemed odd to him. He generally took the perspective that walks, like any other form of exercise, mus...
The day I got called into the office and told about the "Corporate Downsizing" was a shock to my system. Sure, the economy was in the toilet and I understood that, but who expects to be laid off when they are one of the very best analysts for their firm? At age 21 I pretty much had it made. Then it wasn't long and here came computers, I was one of those th...
This story is not part of the Valentine's Day contest, even if characters and topics are tangental to the subject. * I looked through the Zeiss Rangefinder-binoculars again. The distance wasn't a problem — 25 yards is easily within range. The difficulty was that when you are in the man-made Grand Canyon that is mid-town Manhattan, you suffer from every ot...
Being both a doctor and a nurse may seem like a tough task because not many people can do both, but I make it seem effortless. My name is Kelly Thompson and I am both a medical doctor and a registered nurse with the Medical Center of Toronto in Ontario. I've been a doctor and a nurse for eight years with a degree in nursing and a MD. My jobs may be hectic...
He is a demon, and his name is unpronounceable. There is no exact translation; the closest meaning is "the hottest fire," but it misses the mark. He is not an awful demon, as demons go. His area of expertise is lust, but he is flawed; occasionally he allows just a hint of the softer emotion of love. He rationalizes this by increasing the lust, and by the k...
