Tracy saw the note and the rose propped up against it the second she got home. She knelt down to pick them up, fascinated.

It read: "The limousine will pick you up at 6 p.m. Be wearing that sexy little black dress -- the way that...
Hillsboro was a small Midwestern farming town, so named because it was nestled at the bottom of the highest hill in three counties. While the hill was technically private property, with three farms converging at its crest, the irregularity of the land made it difficult to till and its woods made it unsuitable for grazing. The farmers had left the flanks of t...
Author's note: This is a collection of independent, stand-alone short stories about my wife. Some are fiction, while others are memories and flashbacks. They were written separately and never edited for continuity, so there are tense changes, repeated phrases, etc. I make no apologies, because these were intentionally spur-of-the-moment. Enjoy. --------- 1...
Thanks to RNebular for his editing skills. It makes an easier read when someone else proofreads my work. His skills are of a tremendous help. This is a short story of the life of a Bastard. That would be me. Not much dialogue in the story but a humorous rendition of a guy that could not keep it in his pants. Learning the hard way that maybe he really was a...

It was a cold, blustery day in Minneapolis as Mary Richards hurried to her job in the WJM-TV newsroom. Snow flurries melted on her rosy cheeks. Each breath she exhaled turned to white mist. She longed to be at her warm, cozy desk with her little heater warming her feet. In spite of the weather, she was happy because she knew she was going to make it after al...
Prologue: I looked out my window and down onto the street. He was standing in front of the bakery on the corner. He knew I would see him. He looked up and waved. It was the first time I had seen Nick in a few years. I had hoped never to see him again. But I knew that was unlikely. He started toward the building and I began removing my clothes. I should back...
"You haven't forgotten your promise, have you, Hailey?" My best friend Jessica grinned at me as I turned to look at her, playfully flipping her off as I did. "Ooh, somebody's cranky!" "Well, what is it, 5am? And we were up until what, 2am? Yeah, I guess I'm a little cranky. Plus my friend keeps reminding me what I agreed to last night." "Oh, well, forget...

I was sitting at my desk, doing my usual bookkeeping crap, when I noticed my neighbor had a visitor. I'm not usually one to pry, but I thought it strange that a man I hadn't met, was visiting my friend Mark's house, when he wasn't there. I had met Mark when I first bought this house, he was a bachelor, like myself, at the time. We hit it off pretty well, an...
