She'd finally fought with their crazily barking dog, Chloe, long enough to see who it was knocking at her door on that cloudy suburban Saturday. I remember thinking, the...
G'day Here is another story but be warned the theme of this one is a departure from my most recent efforts. No cute and cuddly Aussies here.

In context, this part of my chronicle of KK's infidelity extends back to our undergraduate college years. I'd proposed to KK the summer before our freshman year, with the plan to marry after graduation. I was madly, blindly in love with KK, and to the extent one can know another's heart, I believed she felt the same about me. Her parents, particularly her...
This story is a work of fiction based on some of today's headlines. No one in this work is real, or is this story even based on a real person or event. Pretty clearly everyone mentioned is over 18.
