A bird called from somewhere in the palms. It was one of the macaws Orcutt decided as he sought for its shape amongst the fronds. High above the trees the steel ribs of the herbarium arched into the evening sky carrying the transparent skin of glass over the tropical garden below. He pushed his way through the giant ferns spreading over the walk a banana tre...

We all decided that for Trey's last night with us before leaving, we'd take him out on the town; dinner and dancing. Or rather, the guys could dance – I surely wasn't going to. I'd never learned how, and not having any natural athletic grace, wasn't about to try now. While three people worked out how to economically share two bathrooms, we laughed and teased...

Jenni Giles left the publisher's executive meeting on a big high. What she'd wanted had happened and she'd been given the key to unlock her future. She sucked in air. Right, she thought. She was setting a very tight schedule to achieve an near-impossible dream of launching her own magazine but by God she and her team would achieve it. "Yippee!" She pu...
************** When someone has an honest attitude, honestly, do you actually trust them? ************** This tasty young bird struts down to my end of the moderately crowded pub. A pageboy-cut brunette in a frilly blouse barely containing a double handful of knockers. Poured into a pair of Capris doing a bang up job of displaying the Golden Mean of her...
It had rained earlier in the morning, a hard, wind-driven downpour and Nicholas was forced to sidestep ankle-deep pools of mucoid water that had collected at the street corners. Now the rain was letting up; the clouds began to skid off towards New England and beyond. Weak shafts of sunlight squeezed down between the buildings of midtown Manhattan. It was sti...
