I could see that the flurries were getting heavier. The shrouded sun was just setting and already the road was getting a coating of white. I began to realize I'd made a mistake. In desperation I'd just spent a weekend skiing in central Vermont, trying to escape the dull ache in my heart, even though I knew I was taking a chance on making it worse. It was t...
Philip Johnson Prologue Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. I mention that right off; that and the fact that it's January, so you can get a mental picture of a cold, brown and depressing place and time of year. Once spring arrived I'd brag about being from Harrisburg, but right then I'd have given anything to be someplace warm and green. Let's narrow it down a littl...
This story is a bit wordy and fairly long, so if you are looking for immediate gratification, you might want to look elsewhere. The following story is a work of fiction. Any resemblance between these character and events and any real person or events is strictly coincidental . . . and pretty darn impressive seeing as it is a science fiction story. Do not re...
Author's Note: This is NOT the kind of Part 7 that is designed to stand alone. You will be very lost without having read the first six parts. This is also the final chapter of the series. Fair warning, it is a long one. Please remember that this story is set in 2018, which was the present back when I started writing it. As always, many thanks to EGRI, Ec...

And you're a good looking woman. You w...
Gloria's story: My husband, Peter, is police commissioner of our large southwestern city, and he's walking a very fine line between protecting the public from illegal sexual activities versus actively participating in them.

She could have helped him, but anything that slowed him down was a good thing. They weren't the only ones in that position. Her friend Darby was just at the other end of t...
Chapter 22 -- Breaking In New Staff Saturday morning Dave cuddled both Stacy and Ginger to his side as they lay in bed. They were nude and rightly so since they'd all made love for ninety minutes after waking up after a busy week. After reconnecting, they were talking about the extracurricular activities they'd each enjoyed during the week, describing the...
Note: I want to apologize for the length of time this chapter took getting to you. I had a major relapse, and it took me quite a bit of time to get my head back together. I am trying very hard to continue writing, because I love it so. I hope this chapter meets with your approval. Bob 81. Motivation It seemed that everyone had motivation and everyone was...
