"Happy is what happens when all your dreams come true," Stephen Schwartz. Sandy came into the bedroom where I was still dozing, holding a pair of tights in her hand. 'Babe, I wouldn't ask, but I'm so pushed for time and I've just laddered my last pair of clean tights. I desperately need some before I go to this client meeting.' She held them up as if to p...

You need not read that series to enjoy this one. Although real places and celebrity names are used for realism, this story is fiction. Please 'read, enjoy, vote, and comment.' Synopsis of This...

(Written for a contest in which we were given the first and last lines (which were quotes from movies) randomly and had to fill in-between them. God, I hope this thing makes sense!) Chapter 1. My life, so far... Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, why'd she have to walk into mine? I was working part-time as a bartender in the fair...
My life has definitely not turned out as I expected. A couple of years ago, I was a normal guy with a great girlfriend. We were all but living together and I expected that my girlfriend, Jennifer, would be giving up her apartment soon. After all, I owned my house, so it made sense to give up the rental. I guess I should describe ourselves. My name is Steve...

Chapter Five: The Wedding Night I guess it's natural to be full of nerves and second thoughts on your wedding day but I'm not sure how many grooms have the sort of thoughts that I was having on the morning of my wedding. It wasn't that I wasn't very much in love with Gina, my beautiful fiancee, my dream woman with blonde hair and dark skin, a woman who had...
Ride by Cary Brothers has been the one song I've played most often while writing this series. The perfect moment appeared and I had to include it, though I didn't use the lyrics. I think of it as Sean and Ana's song—at least for where they've come to so far. Sometimes I imagine Sean's voice sounds similar to Cary's: soulful, passionate and intimate. * * *...
Chapter 32 They gathered their meager belongings and made their way to the engineering section of Venus. Despite the late hour or maybe it was because of the early hour, 3 AM, the pathways were not deserted and they encountered several people along the way. John didn't expect any trouble and they didn't get any. They went straight to John's office and depo...
"Joanna, put that back!" I was never one to yell in public places, but this situation warranted the attention. I had recently moved from my hometown with my little sister, Joanna. It was my parent's idea: they figured since Jo was starting college and I was graduating that it would be better, safer and most of all, cheaper for us to live together. I wasn't...
