It was the first week of classes and Gary's first year at the state university. Gary was 18 years old, and had lived a somewhat sheltered life to that point. He was from a small town in the Midwest, and though he was a country boy, this university was the only place he could get the degree he wanted for his chosen career. He had just moved everything into...
Chapter 12 - Sex in the kitchen Gary was quite a good cook. He had always enjoyed cooking, even when married and the breakup of his marriage had left him very much having to cook for himself. He had not fallen into the trap of ready meals or eating rubbish. With time on his hands he had experimented. Saturday became not so much a gardening as a shopping, pr...
Chapter 15 - taking Heather Gary had not missed his ex-wife one little bit. It had been just a relief when they finally broke up and he found himself on his own again after, to be fair, some happy but mostly unhappy years. It had been such a mixed up time. Relief yet depression had set in at how it had all gone so wrong, how he had seen it in some way as hi...
CHAPTER 1 Gary Gunn's parents had their unhappy marriage annulled when he was fourteen and that pushed Gary further into the social mire because neither parent really wanted him and he kept losing friends because he kept changing his schools as his parents shifted about, both looking for their new life and seeking to remarry wisely. Garry's position in lif...
Chapter 6 - the return of young Zara Gary Roldern settled down in the warm afternoon sunshine with his straw hat over his eyes. A postprandial nap seemed to be just the thing. Gary was retired and able to take a more relaxed approach to life and able to potter around in his garden as he liked. And how he liked to potter was naked. Not a practising naturist...
Vampire politics, I thought to myself with disgust as I looked at my would-be executioner, Cain Tremblay. The tall, red-haired and alabaster-skinned vampire whom I've known for ages lay on the ground, bleeding and spent but not quite dead. Not just yet. We were in Ottawa's Vanier Parkway, right by the water, on a quiet summer night. Looking at me with a fera...
Here it was, another Friday night In July, and I found myself fifty miles from home in heavy traffic. There was no way I would make it home before Sally had dinner ready. I knew she would really be disappointed. This was the night we had decided to play cards and maybe take some photos. Earlier that day as I drove through Fresno, I stopped at a couple of sm...
Gary and Wayne got on really well from the start when Wayne started for working for Gary. Wayne was a very likeable 18 year black boy and unlike many kids of that age didn't seem to have an attitude that a lot of kids of that age seem to have today. When Gary got home from work and told Irma about Wayne her first comment was, 'Well invite him round for dinn...
Chapter 5 - Heather takes morning refreshment It was time to visit Mark's garden again and do the gardening jobs he had agreed to undertake. Gary was a little nervous. Heather unnerved him a little. What if Mark was there with Heather? Mark was out but Heather was in, once more in her white dress. Gary wondered if she had panties on this time. He was none...
I have written a trilogy. Each story is perfectly readable and understandable on its own, but if you want to read them in order, start with Charlie then Gary and end with Mark. It will give you a bit more context and continuity. "How did you do on the test?" Gary asked me after our plant identification midterm. "I had the plants down pretty well, but I can...
