The causes and effect of childhood poverty. "Millions of children around the world miss out on their childhood as a result of poverty.

It makes children more vulnerable to exploitation, abuse, violence, discrimination and stig...
It's me Sarah. The music is pounding in the background; my heart is ready to be alive again! That mini-dress still looks smart-alecky in the closet; it still makes me feel hot. But it also seems rather ...passive? demure? The moonlight has returned, and there's a new suite on the bed. It will give me more room to move, and I might want to. But I'm taking my...
Reflection 3: What exactly is Pornography? The question is straight forward, but defining it is altogether another matter. It is one of those words that has a multitude of meanings.

Today was my last day as a free man. Starting tomorrow, I am embarking on a new journey: a journey that will neither be short, nor easy. It is going to be full of challenges.

Talla had hardly served me my morning coffee when the phone rang. It was Al. He told me my conditions had been accepted and all systems were 'GO'. I invited him for lunch. We would meet at 1 PM in the dining room. I immediately rang the Tai-pan to tell him we had been cleared by the Oktonians. As expected he already knew. "I take it, Mister Walters you did...
You are a space marine like Aliens, Doom and Starship Troopers. The year was 2147. Mars had long been colonised at this point. The Union Space Exploitation Corporation (USEC) had built a base there to conduct scientific experiments with warp speed. While space travel between nearby planets like Earth and Mars could be done quickly enough, further away plane...
2. (Sarah) I think tonight is going to be an exciting night. My heart is ready to be alive again. Let me take my time, like I've done for the last two months. I've wanted to go back to visit Main Man, but I didn't feel I should hurry. I wanted to take my time. I think it started when I thought about something I'd said earlier, that "I was pretty much a vir...
"No one is ever all right." A day later Dick received news that his oldest son had been murdered; apparently beaten to death. He didn't take the news well and took an immediate leave of absence from work to sort things out. He had to figure out what the hell was going on. His wife took the news in a bad way and busied herself with arrangements for the funer...
