The tires are humming along the road; a warm breeze blows through the open car windows. I am singing along with the iPod player in my car -- my favorite tunes as often as I want. As the miles pass by I feel freer and freer, my worries are flying out the window and landing by the road to be left behind. I steer with my knees for a moment as I put my long bro...
Harry not only works as a Director at the football but he also owns his own business and does business with many of our town's big (and not so big!) businesses. Among which is the company my parents work for. He would often go round to their place of work and had become friends with both of them. And due to the football, he also became sort of a friend to me...
He got drunk. It wasn't his real intention that night, but when a friend is in need, you blow off work and bow down to whatever alcohol gets jammed into your system. His friend, Holt, had just gone through what can best be described as one of the top five roughest break-ups in history and needed a friend to be with on this most depressing occasion. Not much...
Since the day her family moved in next door, Melissa and Jeff had been nearly inseparable. They grew up best friends, from kindergarten right through high school. It was a very rare occurrence being able to remain friends for so long. The two shared a unique connection, a bond they were not even aware of it most times. Things just seemed right. Their parents...
My name is TJ. I am a big Black guy. Standing six feet two inches tall, big and bulky, and weighing two hundred and forty pounds. I have caramel-colored skin and sharp features. I'm quite good-looking, if I do say so. I have a story I'd like to share with you. I read stories about big beautiful women all the time. Well, what about the big handsome men? We ha...
I stifled a sneeze for the fourteenth time today. When your nose is shoved beside a dusty floor sweep and you are stuck in that position for around five hours boredom takes on a new meaning, and I thought the life of an industrial intelligence freelancer would be all glamour. Granted that time in Laos getting pictures of Hansra Corperation's CTO with that un...
"Who is that?" John asked the man standing next to him as he nodded over towards the tall smart suited girl. "You mean Victoria?" "Yes, the one with the short fair hair and the cigar!" "You'd have to be very desperate to bother with her, she only likes girls." John slowly sipped his beer and looked across the smoke filled room at the girl called Victoria...
You know the drill by now! This is part four really. I hope you think it was worth the wait. Part Four. There's a light at end. But it's a long tunnel! "Um! I think you might all be barking up the wrong tree there." Gail's comment caused all three at us to look at her. She looked me in the eyes and went just a little pink in the face then asked. "Exactl...
(PRESENT DAY) Lying in his arms there was a million and one thoughts running through Sarah's mind, while he caressed her softly his mind was full of fear worry and regret. What if she doesn't want me? What if I'm not enough? What if she regrets it? Was all he could think as he tried to slow his heartbeat and sooth his fears, hoping she didn't regret it and...
Shelley almost never won anything. She just wasn't the lucky sort. When she called the radio station, she was always either their ninth or eleventh caller. Sixteen years of always playing her lottery numbers had yielded a net loss of six hundred dollars. She couldn't even win at church Bingo night. So it was with a sensation of mild shock that she found hers...
