It was moments like this when he felt completely divorced from his body. Adam had often imagined himself on an island. Bright blue skies. Lush trees. The sound of a babbling brook even, if that wasn't too much of a cliche for a daydream. He shut his eyes, and leaned forward, gripping the railing so tightly, his knuckles went white with effort. Under the sui...
Last time: John realized his feelings for Tess might not be entirely platonic when the two share a brief, but passionate kiss, after the studio is nominated for a local newspaper award. The few seconds of that night had been playing over and over again in John's head. He'd sleptwalked through his classes, mixed up the twins, forgotten the names of the seque...
Thank you everyone for the kind comments and feedback. Feel free to PM me with thoughts and suggestions. ***** The ADA was fuming, the psychologist and resource officer looked scared.

#21 When Tanya got back to her apartment in College Town, she was surprised to find a message on her answering machine- -from Marvon! The message was simple: "Call me at the hotel as soon as you can." There was neither a time nor a date for the message but Tanya called back immediately. She was not surprised to hear from the front desk that Marvon had check...
Chapter 5: Back in the Fold Our bedroom contained a bookcase which I had only perfunctorily examined when I first moved in. Yolanda and I were lying in bed one Sunday morning, talking about her family, or more precisely, Margaret McCarty's family. It seems they were some of the original founders of several of the towns in the area, after the gold rush of 18...
"Jean Meredith." That is what it said on the name plate sitting my new desk. The lettering was an Old English style. It was the first name plate I had ever had. Of course, this was my first job: the new junior reporter for the Hemmingsburg Report newspaper. The newspaper office is on the second floor of an old building in downtown Hemmingsburg. It was not th...
Mark and I returned to his office and sat down. "So what else do we need to discuss?" I said. "Well, fall term starts in two weeks; I'd love to have you here for the start of classes," he looked at me and I nodded affirmatively.
