Author's Note: I first published Might Have Been here almost two years ago. While it was one of the top-ranked stories on the site at the time, I didn't feel it was what it should be.

Welcome to the next installment of this ongoing series. I've struggled for a bit over where to take this story next, and I think that the suggestion about flashbacks is the right way to go. As always, any similarities to anything you may have seen or heard before is a complete accident. We ended up going out to dinner. A few minutes after Emily's mock outb...

The task was clear: Host a cocktail party for the local high society and broker some contacts for LGZ. The goal was just as evident: Become the most valuable...
Carielle got up and went to the bathroom. It was 04:30 and everyone else in the house was still asleep. She wore only her panties, getting a thrill out of walking almost nude in the house where her parents Lew and Annette Sal Vitre held court for the neighbourhood, with their strict moral code. The same distorted moral code that kept them from reporting a ra...
"Ed, you can't be serious? I haven't missed a day of work in what? Fifteen years? I'm out for a week with a terrible cold complete with fever, chills, and night sweats, for heaven's sake, and you're letting me go? Really?" "Janice, I really am sorry, but it's all about ratings.
