This is my third installment on my first submission. I hope you enjoy. ********** Eddy, the owner of the glass supply store, was beaming as I handed over my credit card. In all, I felt pretty good about dropping only six grand to get me started. I had two weeks before I was going to take off for two week long classes in the upper northwest. I figured that...
Chapter 9: Terrible Sound How long I sat on the couch trembling I don't remember, my body flooded with adrenaline and my mind in turmoil. It took over an hour for the man's command to fully leave me, and when at last I could move with no hesitation I found I was unsure of what to do. I tried calling out to the genie both in my mind and aloud. I am sure if...
Lisa had been working at the car dealership for almost a month. The job she took on was not nearly as easy as she thought it would be. She worked 40 hours each week, all month long, and never made a sale. Her boss had called her into his office several times and warned her that she needed to start selling some cars or she was going to be let go. It was now F...
*****Hi dear readers. I hope you guys are loving the series so far. To be honest with you, I'm happy this arc is being finished. Why? Because like I said before, I really didn't like doing the whole 'conflicting family issues' cliché. In almost every story depicting heroes, there's a nasty situation between siblings, parents, uncles, aunts (not really), but...

If it's a building you wanted, we build them from small one-story professional offices to hundred story skyscrapers. If you want a home, we have a home construction division. Ou...
Max was on a plane headed east when Liz got to his room that morning. He had no idea where he was. There had been mountains around the hospital but that didn't tell him much. It didn't matter where he was, he was bound to end up in hell again soon at any rate. The plane landed and Max was transferred to a helicopter. He tried to study the place but there was...
This one might be just a touch, a tad, a jot, an iota over the top. The answer to that stereotypical LW cliché, that trite meme -- is not that the best revenge is a life well-lived -- it is a life really, REALLY well-lived. Enjoy. (BTW, if you recognise the accent -- it's not from there!) RAINE, ON HER PARADE "Damn, you're a hard man to track down." I...
Matt Moreau wrote a Loving Wives story some time ago about a husband and wife that work for the same company. The wife is the CEO, the husband a regular employee, and the wife fires the husband. The wife, of course, is having an affair. The idea of a CEO wife firing her husband, as a business decision without the infidelity factor, and how that might affect...
