This is a long story that covers a short weekend. My name is Hjjer. I am the Regional Head for the Asia Pacific Region of my French engineering company, with regional headquarters in New Delhi, India. However, for the last couple of years I've been using our Hanoi office as my "temporary" base but I travel frequently to all our various offices across Asia,...
"I still can't believe you're showing your face here, Brown," Dave Pohl snickered as I came in and sat down at the table I would hate forever. He, of all people, knew what had happened on it earlier. "You've had a hard night. Can you even afford to be here?" He was talking tough, but it'd been a different story just a minute ago. When he first opened the ho...
This is probably the darkest of the One Week Chronicles story - Part 2 certainly is! - but I enjoy trying to find new ways to write and explore characters. I'll be very interested to know your thoughts on this one as it's probably the furthest from me, but was still huge fun to explore. As ever, it slots perfectly into the timeline and happens before the v...
I was running out of time, Christmas was fast approaching and I didn't yet have a present for Jenny, my girlfriend of almost 2 years. I wanted something that was perfect, something that made a statement but something that was most definitely not a diamond ring. It's not that I'd never thought of proposing to Jenny, we were at that age where our friends were...
"Honestly, I think this is good for both of us. I'm gone a lot, and you need a job. Plus, I'm happy to help out a young man willing to work his way through college. I gotta warn you, though, it's tough work." "I can handle the work, sir, so that won't be a problem. My dad taught me how to work hard and smart, so I'll do a good job for you." "Okay. You're h...
Hey Folks, it's a new year, hopefully it will be one full of joy and happiness for all of us. There are so many things to look forward to. There's a new platform out there, the first normal production run Mustang with an independent rear suspension. I love the back of the car, but the rest may just take me a little time. I'm excited about the engine choices...

Little White Lies Chapter 4 Jessie As Jessie closed the door behind her, Erin turned and looked at her with wide eyes and said, "Wow." "What is it?" she asked, taking her new friend's hand. "Dexter," she replied. "He'...
This story includes a lot of speech with dialect, and I tried to make it sound as natural as possible. Sometimes I didn't spell words how they would sound phonetically in the dialect, because doing so made the word look confusing. Grammatical imperfections in character dialogue are intentional. It's a long story but I'm big on character and plot development...
