Sitting in my seat on the flight to Heathrow Airport, London, my mind wandered back to two weeks ago, that last weekend I was home. I'd called an ex-girlfriend in DC to tell her I was being assigned to the UK for four years. I was an American Serviceman at the time. I couldn't believe she just dropped everything, hopped on a plane and flew from Washington, D...
"You did not have to do this?" he said to me as I was driving back up north. "You're right. I don't, but I made a promise and I intend to keep it." "I could have taken the bus." "Oh yeah, a bus, full of nasty, rude, and smelly people. I can get you to a bus station. I mean it be like 26 hours drive but hey you want it." "No this is fine." He said a bit i...
"Miller Time," Ted said to himself when his laptop battery died. He had been working by lantern-light for the past couple of hours because heavy thunderstorms in the area knocked the electricity out. He was hot and uncomfortable due to the lack of airflow in his office. Now that his workday ended early, he left the hot and stuffy office. Carrying the lantern...

There was a delivery call from the radio room to my courier receiver and I was to deliver a bed base to a rough neighbourhood near the city. After I picked it up, I drove the van to the address. I noticed an old Harley Davidson shovelhead bike manual lying on the front seat of a utility parked in the front driveway of the house where the delivery was to be m...
James and I had been married for about 6 years when we divorced. We had agreed to keep things friendly and for the most part it had been an amicable split, all things considered. Splitting up is never easy and comes with a few drawbacks, obviously. Not the least of which is having to find a piece of ass. I do have to say that was one of the very few things I...
Office work coming up to Christmas was a nightmare for Carrie. Bodies coming and going, phone ringing hot, receipts piling up and the prospect of facing the festive season alone again. Far too often she is left alone to run the office, nothing but the radio and her mind for comfort. Running the shop has its perks, plenty of ripped tradies to flirt with dur...
When I walk in the door you’re in the bathroom, hair back in a ponytail, putting on your make up … as if you need it, lovely as you are. I peek in the cracked door for a moment before saying anything. You feel me… standing next to you. Turning your head a bit and your eyes following over to me, you peer at me over your shoulder.
