Back years ago, I'd discarded the 'burner' phone I'd bought. I replaced the battery in my own phone and turned it back on. As expected, there were a lot of text and voice messages from Connie, my ex-wife. But they weren't really what I expected, as time went by. The first two calls were full of screaming hate, when my ex-wife Connie discovered the divorce...
Divorce was the best thing that ever happened to me. Well, it would be, when I actually handed Marcus the divorce papers. But at this point I was sure. I guess he expected it too, when I told him I quit my job and booked a three month cruise to the Bahamas. What can I say? I knew what I needed. I heard a saying once that stuck with me. "If it won't matter in...
Ch. 7: Epilogue *** The sun had turned golden yellow through the afternoon and the shadows had lengthened as Erika came to the end of her story. Halfway through her monologue, I had got up and moved my chair to stay in the sunlight. I had glanced over the lawn and noticed a man sitting alone not far behind us. I recognized him as a politician who was makin...
A Bundle of Wild Cards – Epilogue. My story has received a great number of comments. Some like the story, some don't. I find nothing wrong with that as it is impossible to please all. I have no problem receiving negative criticism as long as it is constructive. I have received several very long comments from one reader and I suppose he will call them constr...
She shouldn't have come out on the promenade deck alone. But the party in the cruise ship's Spotlight Lounge had become so loud and boisterous—and the swirling crowd so suffocating—that Ellen had to get away. If anyone asked why'd she'd strayed, she'd just tell them that Little Bo Peep was looking for her sheep. That was the costume Stephanie had gotten for...
"Oh my, that's a big ship," I said as the cruise ship first came into view. The ship had three levels of rooms rising above its main deck. The boat could carry 600 passengers and about half again that number in crewmembers. My girlfriend, Wonda, and I were in Miami preparing to board a cruise ship that would take us on a four day Caribbean cruise to no where...
I wish to thank adetaildiva for editing this story. As with any great editor, many suggestions for improvement were made and I added them all! Thank you adetaildiva! JAN- Jan Wilson had been happily married to Pete for twelve years. Pete was her everything. He was the solid foundation of her life. Their sex life had become very predictable and somewhat...
Angel and I were pretty much left alone for the rest of the cruise. We had a wonderful time, visiting the islands, walking on the beaches, playing in the surf and enjoying the sites of Hawaii. We also enjoyed the ships facilities. We went to the nightclub shows, swam in the pools, watched first run movies and enjoyed the amazing cuisine offered almost twen...
There is an old saying that no good deed goes unpunished. This is a story about how my good deed was wonderfully rewarded. It all started on a cruise ship. I like to take an ocean cruise the first week of December because the cost for an inside cabin is reasonable, especially when you travel solo and you have to pay for two people in the room. I had done th...
