Chapter 11 Monday, February 12th, 2007 was another day I circled on my calendar in red. The first thing that Mr. Kennedy did in government class was hand back our tests. And not to brag or anything, but YESSS! "A-plus — Excellent work, Mr. Sterling." Maybe my answer had been correct; maybe the twenty-first step in a bill's journey to becoming law was having...
Chapter 1 – The Temptation I knew it was unethical. I also knew that if Beth and Steve ever found out, I'd not only lose my two best friends, but undoubtedly my girlfriend as well. Regardless of the consequences though, my willpower couldn't hold out. All thoughts of proper moral conduct were brushed aside, as easily as the wave of a hand might shoo away a...
June of 2001... The Evening of Graduation Day "I DARE YOU TO GO UPSTAIRS AND FUCK BIG RHONDA!" Tristan could not believe the demand that was spew out of Ethan's mouth. It was so unbelievable that he asked his best friend of seventeen years to repeat himself. Once again, but this time with a taste of sadistic glee, Ethan had repeated his dare to Tristan. "...
The very first part of this actually happened: a long line in a college-town mens' room in the Rocky Mountains, with two drunk chicks standing beside the urinal gazing wastedly at all the guys peeing. It seemed odd, but I peed anyway; they just watched in dull silence. That, and the bit where the newspaper guy does the interview over coffee; that sort of hap...
Chapter 1 The slightly erotic sound of popping corks from bottles of sparkling wine opened by inexperienced bar staff, was more or less ignored by the crowd, with one notable exception. The disrespectful attack on the wine-makers' craft made Paddy Llewellyn wince. He was aware that while New Zealand methode traditionnelle could not carry the exotic name...

G'day everyone, Here's another offering. I've taken another well worn plot and hopefully given it a bit of a different slant. I guess you'll be the judge of that. I was originally going to split it in two but decided to post it all together. At various points of the story the narrator changes so I've signposted these by putting the character's name in at...
Business had been pretty good for the winter months, such as winter was in Jacksonville, Florida. Aidan Gray had owned the landscaping business he bought from the man who'd mentored him and taught him everything he knew six years ago. Now, at the age of 34, things were going quite well, and with summer just around the corner, the potential to make a lot of...
What follows is our joint submission for the "Fifty Ways to Leave Your Lover" challenge. Some of you who are older (ancient) may recognize that this submission was inspired by the classic Hollywood film "It Happened One Night." Which means that we changed the characters, swapped the sexes, seriously altered the plot, and wrote a whole new story, but we thoug...
*Author's note. Athletes who run triathlons often refer to doing so as 'tri-ing' while some use the spelling 'trying'. I prefer the former, but it's a lot easier to use the latter, so I'll be using that version in the story. Also, the timing of the actual race in Hawaii doesn't work with the story, so I'm 'fudging' it a little. But unless you're a huge fan...
