This is a copy of the letter that Albert Berdequez received from his wife. Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada. February 3, 2001. Dear Albert, By the time that you receive this letter, which I will mail from the dock in Miami, Florida, the cruise ship, that I am on, will have been at sea for three days. It is the same ship that I was on in February of last year...
The cruise was her idea. We'd never been on one before, and in fact, had never really considered it. We had always preferred to travel off the beaten path, away from the usual tourist areas. A cruise was so, well, touristy. Pre-packaged. "Fun-in-a-box" was the term we used, intended to be a bit derogatory. I mean, where was the fun in being herded into a tow...
Jake was pacing restlessly. They'd kept him in quarantine at Ita for an additional two weeks and it was killing him not being able to hold his son. His immune system was in shock after exposure to the atmosphere of Tansa. He would have died if it wasn't for the medicine Ita's doctors injected into his bloodstream. But still they had to keep him quarantine...
By DG Hear & Jake Rivers This story is a collaboration by Jake Rivers and DG Hear. We thought we'd try it and see how it turns out. We would also like to thank LadyCibelle and Techsan for their editing. This story is a sequel to 'Wish Me Luck', about a woman in her forties who found her husband cheating on her. She divorced him and decided to go live out...
BONNE CHANCE Tuesday, July 12, 2005 – 4 p.m. My name is William Maitland. I'm an Assistant State Attorney in Jacksonville, Florida. Until three months ago I had a job I loved and a wife I loved who I thought loved me. Now, the marriage is on track to end up in the trash that 50 percent of American marriages eventually inhabit and I am desperately trying to...
Chapter One: Welcome Aboard Hawk Local erotic writer found murdered and sexually mutilated in his home. Is his death connected to the weeklong cruise for erotic writers leaving port today? That was a good question. I couldn't decide if the newspaper article on page eight of the local Miami rag was trying to make me feel good or bad. It might be good becau...
She was thin, almost mousy. An outdated page-boy haircut of jet-black hair, over an oval face. Deep, brown eyes, pouty lips. She wasn't gorgeous, but hardly repulsive, just someone you would meet and immediately forget. She was five foot six, again, average. Small breasts, a bit of an ass, basically plain. At forty three she was resigned to the fact that Mr...
'Wow', Angie thought to herself, 'I was always told that cruise ships cabins are tiny and cramped. This is nice; a king size bed, Jacuzzi tub, kitchen and a balcony overlooking the entire front of the ship. Maybe all that time I spent busting my ass at Wal-Mart to help put Aron through college was worth it!' "Look out Booty! Comin' through!" Cathy hollered...
"Dear Julie, This has always been a very important day for us and tomorrow was to see us embarking or our long-planned fifth anniversary honeymoon cruise and, perhaps, starting a family. There are no words to tell you how regretful I am that it is not to be. It was just about a month ago that I tearfully said that our marriage was a wonderful thing but you...
It displaced almost 100,000 tons making it largest luxury passenger ship ever built. Despite it's size, the red and white steel monster could cruise the the high seas at a speed greater than 30 miles per hour. Water jets allowed it to turn 180 degrees inside the confines of a narrow body of water such as the Hudson River. In fact it could swivel. S.S. USA o...
