She listened to the recording constantly, or so I hoped. I wanted her to play it back to herself dozens of times and re-live those three minutes of ecstasy. Three minutes, because that was all my cell phone would record. I imagined even then, though we had spent only a few hours in each other's company, that she would want to remember it like I did, and wi...
I would like to tell my readers that those looking for quick, fast and furious action will probably be better off looking elsewhere but I hope that those who want to read a good story will find this one rewarding. I hope that my Marathi speaking readers will appreciate conversations that took place in Marathi. These are recorded in italics. For the benefit...
Amber was a nurse in a small office in a conservative southern city. Although she had been married for more than five years, she was not happy in her marriage. Her two young children kept her busy when she was not working, and she rarely was alone with her husband. Amber was about 5'6" and weighed about 120 pounds. She has green eyes and a blinding smile, h...
I had planned it as just a short vacation for the two of us. I could have had Gloria fly commercial to San Diego and then fly with me in my own plane to Las Vegas, only the logistics just didn't work out. I got there about 2 hours before she arrived, but by the time I got the plane tied down and grabbed a taxi and got over to the commercial terminal, she was...
Strange things fall from the sky all the time. In 1934, sixteen people in a small community just outside of San Diego died during a storm that produced hailstones the size of softballs. Michel Tebiere, a landscape gardener in the South of France was struck by lightning 37 times in a six year period and survived without incident. In 1978, a woman in a small c...
Madeline brushed her long black hair away from her face, as she gazed at her reflection in the mirror. Her round face, button nose, rose colored lips, and sapphire blue eyes were the envy of many women, half her age. At forty-five, she still considered her five foot five, body voluptuous, with all the curves in the right places. She applied just enough make-...
Lex's beach house was huge. The sprawling two storeyed structure spread over a sizeable piece of land on the Dumas beach. One had to drive a few miles off the coastal highway through a dense cover of palm trees and sandy road to reach it. The entrance had a spacious parking lot with a water fountain in its midst. The entrance was actually the rear of the h...
It had been a long long year since I had been able to take a vacation from work. My best friend Jack and I, decided to spend a week at the beach. It wasn't our first trip, we had went twice before in the last couple of years. When we go to the beach, we do two things traditionally: We go on the gambling cruise and then with our winnings from that (or lack t...
Orren was on his way down to the beach, it was dark which allowed to him to focus on where he was putting his feet rather than what might be going on back home. The walk usually took him close to an hour and it was maybe a little longer at night. That got him to a headland looking out to sea. He needed to be on the beach for this, so it took almost as long...
My wife Lyndsey cannot take her drink - at all - and she does enjoy a drink. She always has, ever since we met ten years ago. She was only 17 then, and one of those girls who rebelled against everything. Her parents had been quite strict with her as a teenager, not allowing her to go out drinking until she was of age. Inevitably, the first opportunity she go...
