"Yes!" I shout to Tom as we toss our helmets and pads into our lockers. I'd gotten the green light to accompany Tom to Los Angeles for Thanksgiving. The only hitch, I promise to tour UCLA and USC. "No problem," Tom replies as we walk toward the showers. "I'll drive you. But they're called the Trojans, you know." "What?" I don't have clue what he's talkin...
So I have been trying really hard to correct the grammatical errors you guys point out. I went through and looked for all the there and theirs. Chapter five was done two days after four was put out, but I wanted to make sure that the grammar doesn't distract from the story. So I do have an editor, but we are both human and have a tendency to miss things. So...
Reese Harley drank from the stream. The water was good so he urged his horse to drink as well. It had been a week since he had left Mrs. Dodd's ranch and he had thought about her often. He missed her lush body. The ride had been hard but uneventful. Long dusty travel. Suddenly, his horse raised his head. Then Harley himself heard the two horses approachin...
Amongst the flames, their images stood, their skin deep red, tight, hard, defining every muscle in their bodies. In that aspect they looked almost human, and if the flames rose just right you could see them as just that, a man and woman separated by the fire. But on closer inspection, there were things that were just not right. Grown from their shoulder blad...
I heard the talk from the hallway, indistinguishable words fading even before I reached the break room door. Inside, three of my co-workers shifted in the silence, sipping cheap coffee. They were like most of the people here, still shunning me as the new guy. I wasn't sure if I should hold it against them. I was brought in because of flailing production and...
My apologies to those who read an earlier version of this that I uploaded prematurely. I hope knowing the story won't spoil your enjoyment of this version. *** When Debbie got up to speak, she spotted Craig straight away. The tiny little bit of eye contact they had as she walked on stage almost startled her. Who was this guy? He was so focussed on her, s...
I was looking forward to starting my new job on Monday. It was Friday & I had a week's break between jobs. Marketing and Brand Management is my passion. No, none of the large corporate bull shit. I really get a buzz from making a real difference to a start-up company that tries to change the way we behave and live. Yes I am a liberal but a sensible one. Ma...
Author's note: there is an element of truth to this story. As a trucker I have stopped many times to help stranded motorists. Those relief efforts were pretty mundane but what if?...Also, this story could have gone into several categories, but the virulence of the loving wives readers was too much fun to pass up! As always, I'm doing this for fun. I've never...
Chapter 17 Roxanne felt the dread wash over her, what punishment would Savannah have in mind for her? How hard would it be especially after such a big mistake? Roxanne really was terribly sorry for her reaction. She knew she deserved this punishment, but that didn't make the feelings of dread any better. "Okay Roxy, so you know why you are getting punished...
"Out, marines!" The voice from the speaker was clear and terse. We threw the door open and leaped out, checking the perimeter but not expecting to see anything -- and we didn't. Lister and I scanned the tree line nearby while the rest moved up the hill toward a rocky outcrop to set up camp. Our mission: set up a base camp for the exploration party that woul...
