This is the second part of Sophia Continued and should be read in conjunction with part 1 and parts 1 to 4 of Sophia, by Castlestone for it to make sense. My purpose in continuing the story is to provide closure to Don and Maria in their relationship. Castlestone is a tremendous writer, and I must thank both him and also Yellowperil, Castlestone's editor for...
Chapter Three "Finally," I grumbled. Half my time and a quarter of a year wasted. Three months of Sandy having to do whatever Shelly commanded! The mere thought of it angered me. It also filled me with guilt. "So, you found them." I ignored the speaker and focused on Shelly and Sandy. They were lying by the pool in bikinis. I wasn't really surprised to se...

But recently, her interests turned...
Part II – Her Story We arrived at the home of my parents late that night. Laura had already fallen asleep but I couldn't sleep on the drive, tortured by my guilty memories. Getting out and hugging my parents was a welcome relief. We were back where I had grown up, inside familiar walls. I had been a child here, grown up to womanhood, gone off to school, an...
Everyone in this story is over eighteen. It is far and away my most ambitious work to date, tracing the metamorphosis of a young married woman from being a downtrodden wife, through a chance encounter, eventually into a spiral leading her into a world she had never dreamt of. I hope someone bothers to read it. My story begins in the following way, but that...
It had been a clean kill. The trap had punctured a major artery, he guessed, and the stoat had quickly bled out. Tovor was far happier that way; a quick death for the creature, and a pelt less damaged by desperate attempts to free itself. Often times, particularly with larger animals, he found them still struggling with the trap when he came around, perhaps...
My hip pressed against the woman's thigh as four of us squeezed onto the too-short couch. My husband perched on the armrest on my other side, his knee hooked over mine, his hand on my shoulder. Her husband nudged her closer to me so he could shove in beside her, his hand between her legs, pushing the skirt of her little black dress an inch higher. In the mi...
