By the time I crested the hill I was doing a solid eighty. The rain had quit a couple of hours ago and for some reason the traffic was almost non-existent. I had only seen a couple of cars going in the opposite direction in the last hour or so and none going my way. Fantastic, I would make good time getting to Cheyenne. I was going to meet some guys there fo...
Traveling to the other side of the state on a service call, Ernie had to stop to get some gas. While he was inside paying for the gas, he noticed a van pulling up to the station. He walked back to the pump and started to fill up his car when he saw a beautiful blonde standing by the van working the gas pump. She was wearing a pretty dress made out of very l...
I awoke the next morning to the sound of my alarm and felt rather refreshed. Getting out of bed I went about preparing myself for school and the fun, mysterious plans Sage had mentioned. I made sure to put extra effort into my appearance by putting on some extra makeup and doing more to my hair then just pulling it back into a pony tail. All done up I began...
"SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" In the dead of night, with nothing around me, the sound of the car screeching down the road quickly woke me up. I hadn't heard a car running in weeks. Quickly, I got up and climbed the nearby ladder. Above me, I lifted the hatch and pulled myself up to the roof. The car had come to a stop about a hundred feet to my north, an...

At the end of this piece, there should be some interesting situations Once you believe you have your cast of characters in full dimension, it is up to you to test these characters to insure they are n...
Chapter 1: Loading "Ashley, we will be leaving in 5 minutes." I called up to my little sister. "Ok DAD, I am coming." punctuating 'Dad' with the adolescent mockery I have grown to expect from my her. This was her first summer back from college and, as a gift, I promised her a trip up to a cabin for her and her friends. "You're lucky I am not dad. I'd s...
My friend had this 1958 Chevy. It was an obscene colossus of a car with a paint job consisting of peeling blue enamel, gray primer, body putty and rust. It used a rusty wire coat hanger as a radio antenna. Whenever one of the two massive doors slammed shut, a fine effluvium of rust would drift from the rocker panel to the ground. Inside the vast interior pl...
I woke up the next morning, alone in the bed. I sat up slowly and looked around the dark room. The heavy curtains were drawn, blocking out most of the sunlight, but where it parted slightly, bright, yellowish-white light broke through. I looked to my left and saw the alarm clock reading 7:30am. I remembered falling asleep, cuddled up with Jamie, but where co...
"Sick of college already?" Michael asked her. Breathing heavy in the phone, Erica partially laughed, and partially cried. "Oh, so sick of it, M. Dorm life sucks. My roommate is so stupid. She's nasty -- and she'll fuck any guy who weighs more than a Volkswagon. My neighbors play Backstreet Boys every night. One prof hits on me, which wouldn't be a problem,...
