She turned the key with her heart in her throat. The gears and cogs within the ornate lock strained against the key, a stubborn attempt to bar her way. At last they resigned themselves, and the lock gave up a metallic clik. She pushed against the ornate carvings of the massive door, pushed her weight against it, and at last it yawned inward. It's rusty hin...
"Is that her?" she asked, quietly, as a beautiful, full figured woman walked by. A slow nod was all the answer she received, all she really needed. The woman kept walking past, her long, brown hair blowing in the wind. "I like her," the observing woman said, licking her lips in anticipation of what was to come. A sharp smack on her rear end let her know tha...
Later brevet Captain Hunt met with base commander Colonel Karsan Linn, a weather beaten man of Knorr. "As I understand it Captain you want to form a new fighter squadron?" "Yes sir." "Are you aware Captain that supplies of fighters are very limited nowadays, especially way out here?" "With respect sir, Admiral Raeder has already given me this speech." Li...
Lights…Camera…Action… Angela opened her eyes, and realized that there was little of any of these. Flickering lights, blinking all around her still. But the room was still dark except for the soft glow from the various tiny lights. Where were the lights? Where were the doctors? She blinked, and sat up, glancing around, seeing other opened coffins nearby. She...
This is the second part of my story and as such, contains no flying or instructing. To understand this part, please read part one. Alan, as it had turned out, was not only the owner of the flying school but President of the corporation that owned the company I worked for. He told me over lunch one Sunday and swore me to secrecy as he didn't want to be see...
Daniel kept his left hand in his pocket while the woman standing next to him at the coffee shop flirted with him. A cute brunette, she definitely seemed interested in him, following him over to a ledge by the wall, trying to keep conversation going. Still unsure whether she'd be the kind to hook up with a married man or not, he slipped his ring off, picked...
This first chapter is not so exhibitionist as the second chapter – it was just difficult to know which category to place it in. Denis was on the way to class when he stopped to answer his phone. He was surprised to hear a teacher sounding nervous and angry. "Denis I need your help," Miss Andrews blurted out in one long string of sound. "Yea, sure. What...
Stacey shifted nervously from side to side as she stood waiting for her drink at the poolside tiki bar. She had been trying to tactfully get away from Jax, a tall muscular black man, for over an hour to no avail. He wasn't a bad guy and truth be told he was very good looking but she had a boyfriend. "I know right?" She replied. She wasn't even sure what Jax...
Very good comments received, much grateful for all the support and interest. Kate's confusion as to Samuel's running out is part of the suspense which will be unravelled in later chapters. Sorry about the NI and NHS issues. In event of a case like Samuel's where the NHS details are not available wouldn't there be charges to be paid? Just trying to understand...
Staci awoke the next morning to the sound of her cell phone ringing. She lifted it up to see a number she didn't recognize and decided to not pick up. She was willing to bet that Matt had somehow conned Jesse into giving him her number. Jesse was such a pushover sometimes. Staci rolled over and went back to sleep. Three hours later, she woke up on her own an...
