The deep red of the wine in the goblet caught the sun and reflected red into the air. You looked deep into the Damson and touched it to your lips allowing the heavy sweet liquor to soothe your throat. Sighing you looked about the field of long grass and wept due to loneliness. You a daughter of a humble crofter had married the lord of the manor but he was an...
Tonight I've got a little treat planned for you... You sounded a little strained on the phone earlier and I'm waiting for you when you get home. I meet you at the door and as you're taking off your shoes and voicing your frustrations, I'm just standing there listening to you. I could sense that today wasn't a good day for you, so I prepared a little somethi...
Agony was certainly waiting for the evening... all day Lady Gwendolyn had been distracted, unable to pay close attention to any of her embroidery or the chattering of her maid. During dinner she was barely able to eat, her stomach was fluttering with excitement... only a few more hours and she'd be away from the keep. "Ahh, my Gwendolyn is the perfect young...
When Jim walked into the hotel room he could feel a forgotten passion spring to life. Being a "paranormal investigator" this was a good sign. Feelings such as this were good indicators that his ghost hunting efforts would be fruitful. Jim was a firefighter by trade, but had become fascinated with the paranormal after hearing stories of a ghost haunting the f...
We all lead different lives. And none of us is exactly what he or she appears to be. The same holds true for me, I guess. My name is Farah Al-Mokhtar, and I was born in the City of Khor Angar in the Republic of Djibouti. I've been living in the City of Ottawa, Province of Ontario, for the past fifteen years. I'm twenty years old. A lot of people are surprise...
Dinner was a much better occasion tonight. The conversations didn't seem forced and there was a lot more laughter around the table. Perhaps it was James' presences or Charles being home for a second day but it as close to the days before the war as possible. Charles found himself seated between Patricia, James' wife and Catherine. It was no mistake that his...
"I'm just around the corner! I know - I'm late. I'll be there in literally three minutes." I ramble into the phone at my coworker, driving without haste toward the office. I really was just around the corner, and there was no reason to rush in today. We had no meetings scheduled, and my iced coffee with hazelnut syrup was well worth the delay. "No rush, d...
Walking down the hallway to the architect's office, Shannon swallowed the panic rising in her throat. That had happened weeks ago and now of all the people she didn't want to deal with, it was the same man she had the appointment with today. Spending the last weeks searching for someone to do the restoration work for her, only one name kept coming up. Allen...
Eric and I don't have don't have a pot to piss in, but we kinda like it that way; life's less complicated. But, we did inherit a nice size motor boat, which we named Jer-Sea Girl. It took some time to get her seaworthy, but let me tell you, it was soooo worth the wait; let me tell you why. One evening, Eric surprised me by asking if I wanted to take her to...
As I was putting together a play list (which for the older reader is the modern equivalent of the mixed tape) recently, I came to the conclusion that most of my favorite 'love songs' are really 'break up' songs. Upon further review, the rest seem to be 'pining for love' songs, 'afraid of love' songs, and 'losing a love' songs. At first, I thought it was mayb...
