"You got the all clear?" Amy asked, referring to my final hospital visit earlier that day. I nodded. We were sitting on the bank overlooking the millpond, eating an early lunch together. "Yes, absolutely: I can drive and do everything else as well," I replied with a twinkle in my eye. "So you're going to be able to perform on Saturday?" she asked, a slutty...
On a dark, bitter, winter's night in Ankh-Morpork when Captain Angua had nothing particular to do, she and Sergeant Littlebottom strolled into Biers, the favorite bar of the Differently Alive (AKA the Undead). The place momentarily went quiet at the sight of Watch uniforms but as soon as the clientele saw (or smelled) who the visitors were, the low-level com...
That Evening Sun By Chas4455© I've got a cane bottom rocking chair, one of four actually, that sits on the veranda looking out across the dirt road and a seemingly endless vista of green cotton fields. I'm sitting here with a cold PBR in one hand, and mindlessly stroking an old dog by my side with the other. Lady is about thirteen now, and doesn't do much...
Chapter 2 Moving Day Rhiannon went to her car and waited as Dr. Hines locked the office. Soon Dr. Hines was on her way home with Rhiannon following in her own car. A short time later Dr. Hines pulled up to the front of her house. Rhiannon pulled in and parked behind her. Dr. Hines and Rhiannon got out of their cars. Rhiannon was admiring the impressive ho...
When I woke up the next afternoon, the first thing I noticed was the distinct smell of cooking meat. Immediately, I remembered the night before and realized we still had a werewolf in the house. I rolled out of bed and put on fresh pajama bottoms before walking down the hall. Angus and Elizabeth were in the kitchen cooking what seemed to be an enormous amou...
Chapter 13 Sarette blocked Corec's strike, then dashed away before he could close in. They were both wielding wooden staves for their sparring session, but if they'd been using their normal weapons, her staff-spear didn't have a crossguard, and his sword blade could have slid along the shaft and hit her hand. She wore gloves made of a light chain mesh for p...

Thank you so much. * On the second Saturday in March, Grant High School held its annual fundraiser. They had a carnival in the gym of the school.

It's a long one! Settle in and enjoy! xo firstkiss I woke up long before the first ray of sunshine streaked across my bedroom floor. The excitement of this particular Saturday made it impossible to sleep any longer. For a brief moment, I contemplated going over to the shop for a few hours. The hydraulic lift had been acting up again and it needed tinkering....
The next day Billy took Elizabeth out for lunch and told her everything. She sat wide eyed throughout it all, her lunch sitting before her untouched. When he had finished she sat silent for several minutes, trying to absorb it all. Finally she said slowly, "You mean, you and Ginny, aren't cousins? You barely even knew each other before you began sharing a ho...
The turnaround for me came when I was handed a multi-million dollar class action suit against Abbott Chemical. The basis of the case is that Abbott Chemical had been dumping toxic chemicals near a low income residential neighborhood and over the years several people in the community had become very ill with cancers and liver problems. The case looked like it...
