It was 1 year and 3 months, later - after all the events previously described. It was the day that I and Karen were finally getting married. My beautiful little Princess, Jules, now 13 years old, was Karen's Maid of Honor, two of Karen's oldest girlfriends and Tammy rounded it out. Ross was my best man, of course, then Will, Rich, and Jimmy, one of my own...
If I had known how the summer was going to unfold, would I have done things differently? Regret is a wasted emotion. Wondering if you should regret something is even less profitable. We do what we think is best with what we know at the time. It often turns out wrong, even if it is for the right reasons. I cling to that, believing it is far better than turnin...
I was one of those girls that hadn't quite developed until they went off to college and then, suddenly, it seemed the summer before classes started in the fall, I blossomed into one of those girls I had always envied. My long dishwater blonde hair seemed to shimmer and flow down my back like a Greek goddess. I had talked my mother into trading in my glasses...
I had an unexpected day off and seeing the weather was quite good I'd shot down to one of the local beaches for a bit of relaxation. Being the middle of the week there weren't many people around but that didn't worry me. I got in a bit of exercise swimming and just relaxed. For some reason or other the people who were at the beach all just seemed to drift a...
I swear to God, I did not sacrifice a virgin, and I did not sell my soul to the devil. Considering the fact that I am married -- quite happily -- to the most awe-inspiring woman you'll ever meet in your lifetime, your children's lifetimes or even your grandchildren's lifetimes, you may wonder what I did to land her. The answer? Nothing. Zip, zilch, nada....

"Hurry up," her mother snapped. Sayuri Watanabe may have been taller than her mother, but she'd never been able to keep up with her when she was in a hurry. Sayuri had never been to this part of Matsuba – she'd never had a reason. Not that it really mattered. It looked like any suburb in practically every other city in Kanto, the vast sprawl of cities that...
Thanks to for all the great comments; I really get a kick out of reading every one of them, sometimes even the negative ones. I know, I know I owe you a follow up to 'Daddy's Challenge' and you'll get one but I just don't want to throw it together so let me let it stew and I'll promise you a much better story(ies. Hope to hear from you all soon!!! "You are...
This is Chapter 2 of "Krite's Earthly Fantasy" and jumps right in from a cliff hanger at the end of Chapter 1. It is highly advised that you read the first chapter (If you already have, perhaps even refresh yourself on the last several paragraphs if it has been a while) or the loss of context may severely impede the understanding and appreciation of what tak...
