So. This chapter was fun to write in a morbit sort of way...but I hope you enjoy it. My editor is awesome, so I'm glad for that. And I'm warning you now that this gets a lot uglier before it gets better (if it gets better). Don't despair. Just keep reading and leaving comments. I would love it very very very much to see what you guys think of Fated Hearts an...
Everyone is over the age of 18. ***** 2019. Somewhere in Los Angeles. It was a bright sunny day with a beautiful clear blue sky and all of Los Angeles was taking advantage of it. Skimpy bikinis, lots of alcohol, food sizzling on the grills and loud powerful beats through the neighborhoods. You could say these were the ingredients for a great time. Great s...
With the rising of the sun also came a dense morning fog, so visibility was not much better than before. The men arrived at a waterline of an inland shore. "You think these patterns in the sand might be the tracks Dong leaves behind?" Karl asked. "Shh. You hear that?" Jack interrupted. The sound of splashing came from off in the distance. "He's just ahead o...
Lana checked the lock on the door. It wouldn't budge. She could hear footsteps in the hallway outside, but she didn't know where she was, nor whether she wanted to rattle the door, alerting whoever was outside to her presence. It was dumb luck that Lana had ended up here: she could only guess that she was in an industrial facility, with long, tiled windowle...
"Why is there never a sale on beans?" Ms. Jones thought to herself as she inspected a can Hedge's Cooked Beans. Ms. Jones looked through her shopping cart's contents to assess what else she needed. "I guess the only thing left is the frozen foods." The rattling of her shopping cart and goods followed along with her as she headed to the other side of the s...
If the motorists rushing along the by-pass, wishing they could get to their destination sooner had been aware of the presence of the young lady a mere few yards away, they may very well not have been exceeding the speed limit as they nearly all were. Jenny sighed To herself, as she pondered her predicament and the chain of events that had got her here. Alone...
We picked up our luggage from the bike on our way out and headed towards the mountain road, following Antonia's directions. The sun was already sinking low as we were driving uphill, along a small winding road through the Alps. I became nervous driving like this, because any obstacle in our way would mean the end of our journey, as there was no way of naviga...
Dolores (who went by Doe because no self-respecting 23-year old could go by the name Dolores and be taken seriously) had just wanted her last summer as a camp counselor to go smoothly. Things were looking bright for her future, she had just graduated with her art history degree and even though it was a notoriously hard field to permeate, she had scored a cur...
Rachel and Frank had been going out for a few years and their relationship could still be described as passionate. Typical of young lovers in their twenties living in large cities, bars and friends were a significant aspect of their social lives. Rachel was particularly gorgeous - the typical California girl that you would often see on TV but rarely in rea...
I'm so glad today is Friday. Another long, crappy day at work was almost over. The whole day consisted of angry people on the phone, filing, paperwork, more filing, a few boring meetings, and then of course more filing. At 8:00, I finally shut my computer down, turned off my light and gathered my belongings. I got into the elevator and pressed the L button....
