The Honda bounced in the way that breeds car nausea. The windows were rolled down to let in the fresh country air and a sampling of dust that already gently coated the flanks of the Honda. Jack diligently steadied his hands to draw line by line pausing in between the big rocks on the grooved dirt road. The blue fifty-cent-7-11-pen draw deep lines into the ba...
The sudden, strident clang of the bell plucked Mathieu from what had been a very pleasant dream. Looking round, he found that, as usual, all the beds held one single occupant, the women having returned to their own tent before sunrise. This was for the benefit of any bible-bashing fanatics who might, by chance, pass by and witness both male and female exitin...
After a good night's sleep, they wake with the coming of daylight, and Catherine is already excited. 'I've always wanted to ride a horse, Nelly's were never used for riding, just for farm work. Let's go, I can't wait!' Vincent can't help but smile at such enthusiasm, with such a tiny body riding will be quite an effort, even sitting in front of an adult. B...
This is my first attempt at a romance, I'm fully aware that I probably missed the point so reviews and comments are highly appreciated. I usually do much more hardcore and violent work. So I hope you all enjoy! It was the same day he'd lived before and in all likelihood the same day Corporal Renaud had been stuck in for almost three months. He turned over a...
It begins with awareness. I think, therefore…a quick slide down a knife-edge gleam of moonlight and splash, we’ll enter this world together. Easy-like. A long moment of queasy disorientation as the lights swim in my vision and come into focus.

"Candy with grain inside," was the clue. I sat tapping my pen on the first square of the eight-letter entry, which already had an "L" in it, unable to imagine what kind of candy had grain in it. The crossword was a good distraction from the frightful turbulence the plane was experiencing. It was in the seventies, and I was in my late thirties. Well, actuall...
Chapter 4- For Catharsis Putting away my groceries, a thought popped into my head. I quickly texted Claire, Would you like to go out to dinner first? I wondered if that would make the evening nicer or more 'personal' for her, and I felt a little bad about not asking sooner. A few minutes later, she replied, Thanks, but no. Trying not to make this more th...
"Daddy please, you need to come home." Those were the first words out of my daughter's mouth when she Skyped me at my duty station in Afghanistan. "What's wrong baby?" "It's mom dad." Even with the poor video quality I could tell she was in tears. "What's wrong with mom?" "She's seeing another man." My heart stopped. My beautiful wife of 18 years had alw...
