I couldn't sleep. My thoughts were filled with images of my best friend, my confidante, a man I wished was lying next to me and holding me. We'd known each other for years but only recently had we declared any types of feelings for each other. And now, things were somewhat...skewed...between us. And I couldn't figure it out. Yesterday things were wonderful,...
Chapter 18 - Christmas Vacation Mike had expected to pursue "pay-dirt", as he always put it, by ticketing students who felt that finals week provided a justification to violate parking regulations around campus. However, he had forgotten that his boss wanted to assign him as an alternate for maintaining and collecting money from parking meters, which was a...
The black SUV had been following me for almost a mile. Just lurking a few hundred feet behind me, driving slowly in the misty light of dusk. I looked around the empty park I was running by, realizing no one was out. I'd left my cell phone in my car, and panic was beginning to set in. Suddenly the car began gaining speed, and I pushed myself harder, trying my...
[This isn't a sex story. There is a little sex in the story. This is a story about a Bully and how a family handled the threat. It could happen this way. If you think there was/is a better way to handle the Bully, write the story. I'd like to read it.] "Did Jackie talk to you about the Bully?" Xia asked her husband. "What Bully?" Matt looked up fro...
With graduation only a few short weeks away now, pretty much all the athletic activities were over. As such, the track and football field were deserted as I stood waiting for Jayleen to arrive. A few minutes later she did, and we ducked behind the stands where we'd met before. Having arrived early, we still had a good thirty minutes before class, so I was ho...
Chapter Three -- "Acquired Assets" Caroline set her laptop on the conference table. Then set herself as far from Mr. St. Pierre as she possibly could. Her head spun and her vision blurred. She rubbed her eyes. "What is HE doing here?" she asked herself. Caroline buried herself in her laptop. She pulled up the cash flow analysis and could hear Albert suckin...
Barbie dolls have always held a fascination for me. Their long limbs, large breasts and exceptionally bright blue eyes were something that I had genetically been blessed with, I didn't have that ridiculous waist though. Mine was more like a Rueben's model. Nor was I suppose, an air head, my career as police officer had blossomed due to my attention to detail...
Feedback welcomed and answered. * It was 10:30 when I finished the line up for the three games we were scheduled to play the next day. It was sometimes difficult to get all the players in the game, in a situation that would not hurt the team and would allow them their best chance to have success. Winning was more important to the parents of the girls AAU t...
My series on 'The Widow" were true stories. Though hesitant to write them, they were well-received, (Thank you all!) so I thought I might try my hand at others. But I feel better writing real life stories, at least stories based in real life. 'Based on a true story' means there is a lot of leeway to let imaginations run free. Brittany is my niece. Having n...
