Standing in the hospital waiting room Frank was unable to concentrate on anything. His mind was a cauldron of worry for the one he loved who was on the operating table. He was assured that everything was going well, but the nagging doubts continued. The room was empty but for two teenaged girls engrossed in their phones. He envied them knowing that in their...
I had never known until that night what people meant when they talk about having their "heart in their throat". My neighbor's little pickup took the hospital exit off the freeway faster than I knew was possible. Fortunately there was little traffic in general, and no cars at all on the exit ramp. It was not my neighbor's driving that had my throat constricti...
Some of the characters are out of No One can Ever Love me. I edited this myself so all errors and omissions are mine. I hope you enjoy. * Jimmy Olsen was sitting in his patrol car on a quiet Dallas early fall afternoon when suddenly a late model Camaro whizzed by him. His radar beeped and clocked the car doing 52 in a 35 MPH zone. He quickly pulled out and...
No rants this time, I promise. Sorry for the delay in getting this posted. It's just about Christmas, and that means that in addition to the normal work obligations and holiday obligations and travel and baking and family and friends and shopping and letter writing, I had exams to kick off the last bit of time before I headed home. This isn't the last chapt...

Author's note: Many thanks to Copperbutterfly for her editing expertise in helping make this a better story. It was a little strange Monday morning when I resumed my job in building construction. At first my body protested that it wasn't up to it but I persisted, knowing that the only way to get it back in shape was to work. By the third week, there were no...
When life begins to spring surprises, it does quite consistently. At least, it was true in the case of Sujitha. The young lady doctor had almost lost all her inclinations towards her future after she had a few brushes with rough sex in the hands of a couple of horny guys. If her sudden intimacy with Aunt Prema was a pleasant surprise, the sexual escapade wit...
The sudden, strident clang of the bell plucked Mathieu from what had been a very pleasant dream. Looking round, he found that, as usual, all the beds held one single occupant, the women having returned to their own tent before sunrise. This was for the benefit of any bible-bashing fanatics who might, by chance, pass by and witness both male and female exitin...
"Would you like to talk about the pirates today, Gwen?" My grin disappeared. I had told Dr. Annon that I did not want to talk about them today, tomorrow or ever for so long as the universe may turn.
