I hope you enjoy, I did! *** Dan arrived in Florida along with a college classmate to work at a resort over winter and take a break from college studies. With each being easy going guys, the two split...
What initially struck me about him was how he walked into a room and immediately assessed you from head to toe in a way that dripped machismo and sexism. I am sure this behavior is explained in great detail in some policy manual as harassment of some kind. And worse, he would follow his assessment by patting your shoulder.

This was the 70's. Gone was the hippie generation, the war in Vietnam was over and the country was in a gas crisis. Watergate was behind us, and people just wanted to make money.

We were supposed to get dumped on tonight so I didn't know if I was going to see her at all tonight or not. Chicago is notorious for bad weather forecasts especially with snow so I normally don't pay attention do them any more. According to the weatherman we were supposed to get 8 to 12 inches.

The following is based on an idea sent to me by an anonymous reader. "Sorry honey, but I have to go up there." My husband dreaded these kinds of trips, but sometimes in life, they are necessary. You see, we own o...

Her fourteenth birthday, registering for her first year of high school those eyes had belonged to her new homeroom teacher. And now, on her twenty-first she'd caught herself in those eyes again....
“Ok, wait a second. I thought this was an Olympiad of sexual games?” Even over the clash of blades and stamping of feet, I could hear the confusion in McfBridge’s voice. We had walked into the largest Salle’ in Athens together, both somewhat amazed at our own recuperative powers, considering the events of the previous night. What an Opening Ceremony! We had...
We’ve collaborated on this work of fiction, like we collaborate on Life and Love; as partners. We hope you’ll enjoy reading it as much as we enjoyed writing it! Peace, G&B, 2003 I'd have to admit I've never been much of a gambling man. Sure I've been to casinos and dog tracks, but I've never spent, or maybe I should say, donated, more than $100.00 at any g...
Her lungs heaving with each breath, Jessica sprinted and crossed the finish line. "Yeah, Way to go Jess," shouted Jack from the stands as his girlfriend won.
