When her marriage fell apart Donna moved back to her grandmother's seaside cottage. Charles was making staying in the city too difficult, practically stalking her, and the cottage was one of the few things he couldn't touch in their settlement, since it was part of a larger trust. In the 1920's a group of artists had pooled their money together and bought a...
My name is Anna and I have to tell you about how I survived Christmas with my family. I'm forty years old and my husband and I have decided we want children. I'm not sure why we waited so long but the long list of excuses always was more important. First, we needed to get married. Then we wanted a house, a car, a boat, and a cottage. Once we had those things...
The plot and characters of this story are obviously fictitious but the setting is real and I have tried to recreate it as best I could from memory – I hope I have done it justice. I have never encountered a Selkie but I know they are real! * * * * * Jess parked the car next to the little church in the car park of the Aird of Sleat. This was as far as she c...
After Terry and I got home, it was late and we were both tired from our weekend activities, so we just undressed and went to bed. The next morning we were woken up by the telephone ringing. It was Carol and she just wanted to thank us for inviting her to our anniversary party. As we were talking, Terry asked who it was and I told her it was Carol. Terry gr...
My wife's parents own a cottage in Northern Ontario. We usually spend a good portion of the summer at the cottage, relaxing, fishing and swimming. What I enjoy about the cottage is that it is located on a major river which is part of the Severn Waterway system. The amount of boat traffic during the summer months is incredible. There has been many days where...
It was the summer after high school graduation. Mandy's steady boyfriend, Danny, was at Annapolis, just starting his junior year. She was looking forward to summer vacation. It might be her last time with friends before she went to college in Baltimore. She seriously didn't intend to sit at home pinning for Danny. Sure, she thought that they were almost enga...
It was a Friday afternoon at the beginning of July, the weather was lovely and the drive to the cottage had been easy, thankfully the owner had left clear instructions from the village centre...'take the road out of the village, past the Post Office on the left, then the next right turn...the cottage is on the left, half a mile down the narrow country lane.'...
Snow White was feeling wretched and miserable as she lay naked in the shadows of the tall forest trees, as well she might after her unexpected rape at the hands of the forester. It had seemed such a jolly idea at first when he suggested walking into the woods with her ostensibly to show her what he did for a living, and the fact it was sanctioned by her usua...
Clear, warm waters and azure skies did nothing for her. There had been a holiday, once, where she had sat on one of those white sanded beaches whilst grinning Caribbean boys brought her drinks under a "made in china" palm parasol. The heat, even in the shade, was sapping. Slipping into the artificially clean water did nothing to alleviate it. Rather, it...
This is hopefully Part 1 of what will be a series of stories about the main characters. The story is necessarily long and only has sex towards the end because I felt it was necessary to set the scene and introduce the backgrounds of each of the characters. All the characters, places and events in the story are pure fiction and straight out of my active i...
