Part 1 - the girls are mown The sun had been sweltering all day and even as the shadows lengthened there seemed no let up in the heat. Danielle had been waiting for what seemed hours for her friend. The sweat dripped down her, running from her neck into her dress and seemingly out again from below the hem. It was not really the same trickle, after all there...
Zoe Aames returned home to find her mother in tears. "Oh baby," she sobbed. "I'm so sorry." "Mom, Mom, what is it? What's the matter?" Sandy Aames turned and directed her eyes towards the opened letter on the kitchen table. Zoe was dumfounded as to what could be so bad to make her mother cry like this and apologise to her. Had someone died? Zoe's grandpar...
As Mark slept the jar containing the Orgoblin was still sitting on his night stand as the creature would lay dormant until released. The jar was a little too close to the edge when he rolled over and tapped the stand making it wiggle and the jar fall to the floor. As it landed it did not shatter but it did crack and the crack was large enough for the creatur...
Danielle sat quietly, swinging her legs on the old green seat in the shade of the tree at the place Siobhan and she always met. Her brown legs poked out from under her light cotton dress. She looked down at them and liked what she saw. Shapely and feminine, a good pair of legs in brown strappy sandals. Not just decorative legs but good strong legs which coul...
Note from Slick: This is chapter two of the bracelet swinging party story. You really need to read chapter one "White" before this one. I got carried away writing this one so it's a bit long. All rights reserved. GREEN With Jeannie and Frank gone for the weekend things got quiet somewhat the next week or so. Manni and Joe stayed away from discussing the n...
This is a tale from my younger days, when I was in the 6th form. I was 18 and studying my second year at Advanced or 'A' level. I was studying English, Chemistry and PE, so I kept in shape, both physically and mentally. For the courses we did, there were three teachers in every subject, but each particular subject was taught by a combination of two of these...
"Well I thought that went pretty well," Tommy said aloud. The other members of the Justice League shot dirty looks at him from around the table in the Watchtower's great hall. They obviously didn't agree. Deep down, Tommy knew that it had, in fact, not gone that well. The Justice League had been called together to battle a group of White Martians. Things ha...
Act One: Boy Meets Goo Chapter One: There Ain't Nothing in the World… Dee reached into the refrigerator, peeled off the cellophane sealing the wide mouth of the metal mixing bowl, and chickened out. "I can't do this," he said. He tipped the bowl and took a long, hard look at the Jell-O inside. The surface shone in the fridge's light but did not shift. The...
Act Six: Second Helpings Chapter Four: Take From Me The drive to the Epsilon Zeta Sorority chapter house proved dull and anticlimactic. The steering wheel jerked and the yellow SUV juddered if Dee pushed it over fifty miles per hour. He considered abandoning the beaten automobile and running barefoot all the way to fraternity row. It shocked him to realize...
It has been some time since I have updated this journal and I am struggling to find the courage to do so now. Many things have happened, the least of which is my slide into depression and despair. Even as it hurts me physically I am going to detail the events of the last few days to try and relieve the mental torment. I had decided that the pretence of bein...
