The funeral was a very small affair. Andy was very surprised to see that he and his wife Michelle were the only ones from the cul-de-sac to attend. Looking about the chapel there were only eight people who had bothered to pay their respects. Andy moved closer to his wife and whispered, "Not a huge turn out by any stretch of the imagination?" Michelle look...
This is written as part of norafares and Bebop3's "50 Ways to Leave Your Lover" event. To be up-front, it's not a quick story and the young woman who is the protagonist is pretty damaged. So, if you're looking for a quick hit of romance or sex, this might be one to skip over. For those for whom the nonexistence of cellphones, let alone the internet, is som...
I would like to thank hcsd1719 for his help in editing and offering encouragement. Again, there are no actual sex scenes, since the main characters are underage. All italics indicate communication through the mental bond. The complete list of Pack members is on the blog, but if anyone would like an excel spreadsheet of the 'cheat sheet' of Pack members, pl...
If I was going to write a novel of my life, 2017 would be the chapters were everything I knew and counted on to be a certain way in my life went all to hell. And Christmas was when I managed to claw my way back up out of there. The year before -- a bad year in its own right -- my hometown here on the ill-defined border between Florida's Treasure and Gold...
My parents are strict church-goers, and they named me Agnes, after one of the virginal saints. To say that I was given a severe sense of chastity would almost be an understatement. My clothes have always been conservative, and my attitudes have always been prudish. Even so, I have to admit that I once looked up the story of Saint Agnes and found its more lur...
Chapter 1 "Steve, is that really you?" I was sitting in a food court at a mall, working on the ever-present laptop, waiting for my son and almost daughter-in-law. Even though I hadn't heard that voice in almost fifteen years, I knew instantly who it was. Looking up, I smiled. "No Kara, it's someone else. What kind of a dumb statement was that?" She flin...
Hello everyone. As I said in the last chapter, I am bringing Life after the Lottery to a close. I am working on tying up some loose ends in the story as well as closing it out as I had planned. I hope to wrap things up quicker than I have been able to bring the next chapters online. I am currently writing three or four chapters at the same time, so I can kee...
Author's note: I have had a story in my head for years and have written the first few chapters of it many times. I always end up putting it aside to write small ones like the one you find here. I still lack the confidence to tackle such a challenging tale. No matter, I have a pile of other stories started that need to be finished. One of these days, I'll hav...

As always, this story is pure and total fiction so; remember that anything CAN and usually DOES happen in a fictional story. One more thing, this story is dedicated to two of the kindest, most sincere people that I know, and I won't mention their full names because they know who I'm talking about, don't you, Peter and Trish? LOL! As far as everyone else is...
