I heard the chime, a soft bong that let me know I was needed at the door. It was Friday night, and we had a good crowd. I caught my bartenders' eye and motioned towards the door. It usually took two of us to keep up on the weekend, but this wouldn't take long. It was probably an invited guest, arriving late. I'd verify they were on the list, let them into t...
Why was my best friend telling me this? God, why couldn't he keep his mouth shut? I sat back against the hood of his car and sipped on a beer. On Javier's front lawn was a grill and flames were shooting up from the charcoal we'd just lit. We were both nineteen. I don't remember how the topic got started, but the sentence I've committed to memory was: "She...
Most people will probably say I'm stretching it with my story line this time and they're probably right, but I needed to do what I did to make my point. So, what happens when everything is taken from you? Your wife, your life's work, your pride and even your dreams; all gone, taken by someone who did it because they could. Would you go to the dark side, as...
"Hudson, you got lucky. Spur of the moment action is fine, but it won't save you in the long run. Eventually, sooner rather than later, the bad guys are going to get you. I'm not going to argue the point anymore with you. You'll stay here, until we're done with this fucked up mission. More importantly, you aren't going to endanger my teams because your feeli...
Hey gang. I've been gone for a while but it has been a rough and good year so far. A cancer diagnosis for a parent and death shortly after followed by the birth of my first granddaughter a few weeks ago. It was while I was caring for my grandson and waiting for my granddaughter to be born when the thought for this story came to mind. I had my concerns abou...
Hi Folks, Thanks for the reaction to last week's piece, both positive and negative. Whether you realize it or not we really are trying to improve and are listening to your comments and views. This time out I had an idea in mind, but I also wanted to see if I could bring it in with fewer pages. I had to cut out a lot of the things I wanted to do, but I think...
The back door closed with a thump, he didn't say bye; I realised and I rushed to the front door, forgetting for a second it was nailed shut. I fell to my knees and cried infuriated at the obstacle. I cried for a long time before I pulled myself up and headed back to the kitchen sniffing and wiping the tears and snot from my face with my hands. "He's only g...

One of the problems with a true story is that the Author has to wait for 'Real Life' to take place before she knows what the outcome of the tale is going to be. Simply making it up would be a betrayal of trust! The author also has to get the main character involved to agree to have intimate details of her life revealed for all the world to see. That's an ev...
