Brian had been frustrated with the girls in high school. Oh, don't get me wrong. He'd had some good fun. He'd had more than his share of joyously casual flings with hot, nerdy Chem partners on friends' back decks in the spring, and little adventures into the woods with peppy teammates on the way to track practice. He'd certainly savored the joy of making ou...

Chapter 2 - In the beginning... Hi, Samantha here, about three and a half weeks after John was hospitalized, Bill asked me to read what he had written in the first chapter, and then he asked me to write the next chapters. I feel his reasoning was that I had lived it, and I would be better able to share with you and him what had happened between my friend an...
I could escape it no longer. As an 18 year old senior in high school, I had to get a job. Somehow I had managed to get out of getting a part time job my first three years of high school, but finally my parents could put up with it no longer. I needed a job. If that wasn't bad enough, to get the job I had to get a work permit from my school, and to fill out...

I had a lot of fun writing this silliness-hope you enjoy! Comments and feedback are cherished! All characters are over 1...
(Feedback appreciated) * There have been so many airports this year. First Tacoma, then London, then Glasgow—and finally, Boston.

I can't sleep, so instead, I'll sit here at this comp...
