Hello reader. Just trying out a short story, here. I have an idea in mind for a second part, so depending on how this is received I may just write it :) Hope you enjoy! _______________________ There are some things a mother is never meant to see. One fateful Friday, I saw one such thing that easily falls into this category. On this particular Friday I...
Hello everyone. I know its been a while but this has been hard year. Losing a loved one is hard. It's extremely hard when that person was the only one that believed in you. So in remembrance, I want to dedicate this story to my husband of 27 years. **You left me here. You left too soon. Somedays, its hard to breathe. I still breathe though. I'm still movi...
"Your what!?" Jake exclaimed, "Rasmir, did you lose your entire family to the war?" Lowering his head Rasmir replied, "Almost all of them master Jake, I have... had 2 sisters and a brother, I was the oldest. As a member of the council I was tasked to stay, I still wished I could have been there to help my family." "She appeared not long ago, but she won'...
Shannon awakened early to get her family ready for their daily lives. She slipped into her old worn and tattered terry cloth robe that once was a brilliant blue, today. It was just a badly faded blue shade. She slipped her house shoes onto her feet and stumbled to the restroom to wash the sleep from her eyes. "Another day of cooking, cleaning and fighting w...
Instead I dreamed of a long dirt field. It seemed to go on for miles and miles. There I stood alone, the only similarity to my recent dreams of flowers and the adorable boy. In the air I smelled smoke and cinder. It made me gag, I nearly choked up my dinner. When I thought I was alone, I noticed that there were bodies, dead bodies, assimilating out of the th...
It started with an innocent request: "Feel up to going to a party with me and having a drink or two?" It wasn't the first time that Janis had asked me that, but I'd usually said no in the past. Janis wasn't looking to hustle me, she just wanted company at another affair that she really didn't want to go to anyway. Janis, my boss, was a political animal and...

This is my suggestion for an ending to the story, "How High a Price", by the Troubador. In his introduction, he said of Susan and Early Conroy, "They are attractive people, keep that in mind. They are highly intelligent, caring and feeling individuals. Keep that in mind also." I tried to keep that in mind, but odd things happen to intelligent, caring individ...
"What?" I asked her, not sure if I heard what she said correctly. "I have to be with someone tonight, are you the one?" I looked at her, a bit of surprise if not shock registering at her blunt request. Don't get me wrong, I am a normal male and I like women as much as the next guy. Being barely 30 and still single, I have had my share of one night stand...
"Sometimes things happen, Joey. You have to be able to let them go. I know that it's hard for you to hear right now, but you just can't spend your whole life obsessing over the past." Christ. Here we go again. "Of course I can. Who do you think you're talking to?" "Well, then you shouldn't. I raised you better than that. Please. Don't be stubborn to the...
