Chronicles of Drodge Mallea First Chronicle Drodge awoke feeling fuzzy headed and stiff. Actually, "awoke" wasn't quite right -- "came to was more like it. She sat up in the lavishly furnished boudoir, stretching her athletic 6-foot frame as she did. Running a hand though her short, thick copper locks, she slipped out of the bed, suddenly remembering tha...
"Professor Hardman Institute of applied human genetics Head of department" .. it said on a brass door plate. I knocked gently on the door... nothing happened. I knocked harder ... still no reply. What should I do? Wait? It could be that the professor was just in the bathroom... Carefully I opened the door. The professor was there! Behind his desk, but...
The sun rose, bathing the landscape with its eerie light. In what was once the City of Ottawa, Ontario, plenty of creatures were stirring. The rats, squirrels, feral cats, stray dogs and whatnot. Their numbers have skyrocketed since the humans vanished, and the dead metropolis has become their new domain. They like to run from me, and being super slow since...
It was a strange set of circumstances and events that led to a most embarrassing and exciting day. As a 19 year old college student I lived in a unique apartment building just off campus. The building had eight apartments; each was occupied by four students and a resident advisor. This year five of the units were male; three were female. Each unit was very n...
Tonight, I am thankful to God that I am in one piece. The past seventy two hours have been really tough. My name is Stephen. A big and tall young Black man living in the town of Ottawa, province of Ontario, the Capital region of Canada. The last Saturday in July 2012 I went to the Saint Laurent Shopping Center bright-eyed and smiling. Why? Only one reason, t...

I would enjoy it if it were about someone else and not me!) I can't help but think of Valentine's Day last year, a day that forever changed my life. In the weeks leading up to that day my wife Ama...
Terry was completely broke. She lost her job waitressing after a particularly rude customer, set her off. "Miss, this water is tepid, and this steak not bloody enough" He said, as blood oozed out of his steak. "You simply are, an incompetent imbecile." Terry had been back and forth, to and from the kitchen, trying her best to satisfy this pompous ass, for...
"You are making a BIG MISTAKE ASSHOLE!!" Sheila screamed as John Davies, head of security of Garfinkels Department store dragged her back into the interrogation room. "We will see about that? I know you are a shoplifter, and I will find the evidence, as I always do!" he snickered as he looked over his new prey. Again he had snagged a beauty and that was his...
1. Busted and forced to submit This is as near to being an autobiography as is consistent with writing a story – although it was my sister and a female cousin who confronted me, not two sisters. It was also a lot more than thirteen years ago! My sisters, both of them, burst into my room without preamble before our parents' car had had time to clear the ci...
Ben sat in his hotel room, finishing up the reports for his trip. He hated the annual sales trips, it meant he spent 10 long and boring days away from his wife Sheila.
