Kathryn, leaning back against the arm of the sofa, one leg curled under her and the other on the floor, looked at me silently, knowing very well what her words intimated. Everything about her was at once heartbreakingly familiar, but also so different from what she'd once been. It went far beyond her blonde hair and more mature face and body. The change cen...
I studied Jacob's brown eyes as he spoke with such enthusiasm that Monday afternoon. He was trying to figure out what to get his girlfriend Leslie, for Christmas. Don't get me wrong, Leslie was nice, could be a bit controlling at times but she was sweet, pretty and nothing like me. See, Jacob and I have known each other since we were in diapers. We lived n...
All persons are consenting adults age 18+ ***** Prologue: "First Contact" My heart skipped a beat the moment I laid eyes on you. Or was it two? ...or twenty? I couldn't breathe, let alone count. It was as if time had slowed down to a standstill - coming to a definite, grinding, halt - and yet, had simultaneously sped up as well; as if everything else tha...
This story is the sequel to ‘Doctor’s Orders’. It is strongly recommended that you read ’Doctor’s Orders’ before reading this story. I received lots of very positive feedback on the first story. I hope you enjoy this one too. ***** The doctor’s house-call on my wife a few days earlier began to bug me. Although it had led to my wife and I having fabulous se...
Part 1: Where are thine accusers? James stood at the door and argued again with himself whether to go through with the appointment. The placard read Christine Dunn, MS. He was in the right place and on time. It was the third time he had made the appointment. Calling twice before with excuses, he had cancelled. It was fear and self-loathing that caused him t...
Ellen adjusted her dress. She never really liked the dresses she had to wear when showing a prospective student around the college. Mrs. Carmichael called out several other young women before calling out Ellen's name. "Here Ellen, you have someone from Alabama," she said. Ellen looked around shyly. Everyone was smirking. Another redneck from the South, she...
I remember the day I made my decision to switch to the medical profession. I had to undergo a full physical exam for the office where I had applied before they would hire me. I had been to the Doctor many times, of course. Mostly the usual stuff from growing up, minor illnesses, and one broken thumb from a fall off a bike. I was 18 when Mom took me in for...
Part II (Melanie) Chapter 1 I awoke on Monday morning to the annoying buzz of my alarm clock. Groggy, and wanting more of the peace I found in sleep, I hit the snooze alarm and rolled over. I tried to catch a few more minutes of sleep, but the events of the previous night came flooding into my head, pushing out the lingering cobwebs of my dreams. Had I dr...
People ask me how I came to be apart of The Network's family. It's a long story that shocks a lot of people. They ask me if I miss my friends and family, but The Network are my friends and my family too. They ask how I can trust them after the way I met them, but they're just don't understand, they don't see the people like I do, they see a bunch of freaks i...
Chapter 7 Dan woke up and looked at the clock. It was 7 am on a Friday. After taking a shower and brushing his teeth he walked into his master closet and began to get dressed for work. While he was putting on his clothes, he looked at all of Cindy's clothes hanging on her side of the closet. She had always been something of a clothes horse and he was truly...
