Chapter 5: Sunday, Continued - More Pool Play, a Hint of Spurs, & Little Black Dresses I turned away from my sputtering pal and her equally shocked uncle, towing along with me the Adele-Bot - or 'Estelle', as I'd rather hastily renamed her. She still wore a face like a wet Wednesday. Obviously, recent developments were not computing. I'd forgotten how late...
By EgmontGrigor2020 Chapter 1 Midsummer heat in recent days led Augustine Jones to speculate that she should be in Iceland at leisure, although she wasn't sure if that country was set up as a tourist destination. Such mind-wandering was just a tease because her physical and financial assets were diminishing although not quite with the velocity of a rolle...
My name is Ana and I have a Christmas story you won't see on the Hallmark Channel. I always dreaded the annual Christmas Party; I really didn't want to go but felt obligated. And hubby would be bored to death. He wouldn't know anyone. Talk would be all about shop or people he didn't know. It wasn't as though my coworkers were chummy anyway. I don't know wha...
MY NEIGHBOUR QUEEN GEORGINA I suspected there was something fishy the first moment I met him. George that is. And it was the smell of him that gave me the clue; deliciously flowery perfume. I invited him in, as you would do when I with a new neighbour calls to introduce themself. He had picked a good time. I had just arrived in from work and was eyeing...
"Hey bro," Jeremy asks you while snooping around a bookshelf in your room, "What do you plan to do next year?" You swivel in your chair and give him a shrug. The truth is, you hadn't really given it much thought. Both you and your friend Jeremy were now already a year past getting your high school diplomas and have been working dead-end jobs wondering what...
My husband, Jack, is always going on business trips and he was preparing to leave on another one. He was finished loading the car, but returned to our condo to get his briefcase. Even though it was almost noon, I was still lying in bed without a stitch of clothing on. My cute little brunette bush was right there for my husband to enjoy, but as usual, he wasn...
Megan tightened the hood of her parka, hoping no one would recognize her. Guys stinking of Axe body spray handing her white roses was really getting old. Thankfully, no one recognized her when she wore layers. She dunked her boots in some slush, mourning that New York had already turned it gray. Limos weren't supposed to be two hours late, were they? They s...
I was late in to school next morning, the morning after the two student teachers, Zac and Seth, and I fucked Tracey Halliday when I kept her behind after hours to do the make up exam. Fortunately I had a free period first up so I parked the car under the trees out of sight of the principal's office and snuck in the back door. Everyone was in class so I was...
As I looked up the steps to the front door of the Hawkwood family home, I was filled with dread and anxiety. I started up the first step and I could hear my mother pull away in her car behind me. I could hear the sound of rubber on the wet asphalt fade out as it made its way down the the circle of the drop off area to the black ribbon of the long driveway th...
I stood in front of my class at 8:30 a.m. Sweat was beginning to bead on my forehead and my mouth had long gone dry. Words were not coming. My lecture was, rather, an incoherent string of babble. I could not focus, or if I could it was on the wrong thing. It was but a flash, a vision, and a split-second that I could not seem to catch. That flash happened onc...
