It was a Monday in early February and it was England so of course it was raining. I sat at my desk in my office and watched rivers of cold water run down the clouded glass of the window as I ate my lunch without enthusiasm. In an attempt to maintain my new, slimmer figure for my lover the 'New Me' had dispensed with sandwiches and cafeteria food so instead...
To those of you who have waited patiently I humbly apologize. Real life has a way of changing your priorities, and I didn't get a chance to finish this last year. Thanks to the prodding from my muse Chrissy, I took up the story again and after a few false starts got it down in print. You need not worry that I'll leave you hanging again, the rest of the story...
Mrs. Lewis ran up to Jennifer as she got off the train and gave her a hug. "Jenn, it's so wonderful to see you! I was saying to Carrie only last week how much her father and I missed not having you around." Mr. Lewis also hugged her and picked up her bags and parcels. "I see somebody stopped in the City and did a little shopping on the way! Maybe I should...
I wasn't sure what category to put this story in. This is a story where a number of murders take place. In other words, this is a 'Who done it?' type of story. You may not want to read this story if you don't like this kind. A special 'Thank You' to my friend Estragon for editing this story and making it a much better read. Chapter 1: 'It was a dark and st...
Chapter 13 "Alive" Unbeknownst to Ken and Brianna, there was an older couple that was killed while following Ken and Brianna, when Brianna lost control of the car. The car that Brianna was driving had veered to the right side of the road, going off onto the shoulder, and the gentleman that was driving the car that had been behind Ken and Brianna hit his bra...
Some folks are still wondering about 'Storm World'. I tried to explain as plainly as I could, but I will give it another try. At this time I have lost interest in writing the story. I see a whole lot of mistakes throughout and I see a bunch of stuff that adds nothing to the plot and could be removed to make the story move more quickly. I found myself forcing...
Chapter 16 -- The Bus Driver Kim had to return to work at the music store immediately following Malka's punishment. Eloisa entered Dukov's office to remind Kim that she was needed at the customer service counter. She stopped to look at Malka's prostrate body and collection of dark welts and bruises. She was awestruck by the severity of Malka's punishment, a...
Chapter Thirteen: The Analysis The next morning was dreary and wet. Since he had originally planned to work on a new proposal during his time in the country, Shinichi rose quietly while Melina slept. He had watched her move restlessly in her sleep for much of the night, her eyes twitching as if she'd been having a bad dream. After about an hour's work on...
He rubbed his eyes, looked at his fountain pen -- leaking, again -- a puddle of deep blue spreading on the paper. He picked up the pen and threw it in a nearby trash can, then took a little packet of tissues out of his jacket and wiped his ink off the paper and tossed that away, too. He looked at his watch and shook his head, packed up his things and grabbed...
"Where the fuck are you?" The voice on the other end of the phone was screaming at me. "You were supposed to be here twenty minutes ago, I have important clients with me, and they're waiting to have dinner, and you aren't here. Get your arse into gear and get over here, NOW!" I tried to be calm but it wasn't easy in the face of this barrage of abuse. "I hav...
