I pulled up outside Susan and Ralph's house at almost exactly two thirty, and went and knocked on the front door. The door opened, and there stood Mum, with Len behind her, smiling from ear to ear, and hovering in the background I could see Ralph. "Mum!" I hugged her, "What are you doing here? Where did you come from?" Everyone was smiling and laughing, "I...
As usual, I don't have any idea where this one came from. ***** "Happy birthday, bro." It was a paid subscription to a dating service. A really high priced service, with guarantees of strict confidentiality and carefully screened members. I wasn't smiling. She saw. "Come on now, don't be like that. It's been fourteen months. Have you even gone on a date...
I did not know the exact time when I had fallen asleep on the floor of my living room that Sunday night, only that I had. I was awakened by the soft tapping sound of young Alexis Barron on her lap top computer, and the distinct smell of what seemed like sweet cloves filling the air.

Life immediately after college tended to reflect life in college. I hung out with three friends from the university plus two new friends. We drank, talked and pretty much tried to deny we were supposed to be grown up. After dinner at Alexis' apartment one night, Liam suggested a round of Truth or Dare.

Most of the women I saw as I walked down to the men's tent, were stripped as much as their modesty would allow and kept to the shade of the tents for the most part. I...
Kierania March, 1825 Rade crouched down beside the fire, poking the burning embers with a stick as he watched his men drag their heels to their tents around him. It had been more than four months, and the violence of the war seemed to be everlasting. Just that day, he had lost twenty-seven men in the battle of the Valleys, and even though it had been a Mar...
I said all I needed to last time. Let's just get on with it. ................................................... Damn, damn, damn. What the hell is so wrong with me that I can't keep a woman? I think I'm a good person. I'm not cruel to people or animals. I pay my bills, donate time and money to charities, help my friends when they need it. When I decide...
Thank you to Linda62953 for taking the time to edit this story. It was a dark and stormy night. I can't tell you how many times I have wanted to start a story with those words. I finally get to use them. Chapter 1 It was Halloween Eve and it was a dark and stormy night. The wind rustled through the trees making eerie sounds. I could hear it as it whistled...
