Chapter Eight Crisis The beeping of the alarm was like a demon, rousing both Valerie and Sally from the comfortable sleep they were ensconced in. Valerie extricated herself from the embrace that they had shared through the night. Padding to the bathroom, she showered and dressed, preparing for another day at work. She'd enjoyed the time off she had been gi...

The bus rolled to a stop as I grabbed my bags and eagerly waited for the door to open. I spent 8 hours on this bus I couldn't wait to get away from the smell of stale B.O and a tuna sandwich somebody thought would be a good idea to eat in an enclosed space. My parents decided to go on a second honeymoon and shipped me off to their good friend's house in the...
There is something, well, I suppose 'illicit' is the best word, about being naked in the open air. A mixture of freedom and exhibitionism. Which is why I made a last check on my surroundings before slipping off my underpants. I was on private land, the owners were away and it was miles from any public place, so the chances of being seen were very remote ind...
THE LAST MOLL October 11, 1983 If you consider some of the places I may have ended up, the Pinedale convalescent home wasn't so bad, though I guess we're supposed to call it "assisted living." What a crock. My room was small but that meant I didn't have to put up with some pain-in-the-ass roommate. I had a fair sized window with a view of the woods and go...
I loved the early morning. I took my seat in the first class section of the 6am Northwest flight from JFK to Indy. Although the jet was full, I hoped that the window seat on my right would remain empty for the flight. However, that was not to be. Shortly before the doors closed, an older, attractive professional couple stepped into the plane. They greeted th...
This is my first upload. I hope you enjoy it. The only thing I ask for is feedback. Comments, ratings, favorites, emails, whatever. Thank you. * It was Halloween and my friends were on our way to a costume party. This year I decided to go all out and I dressed up as my favorite character from my favorite anime show. Tobi/Madara from Naruto Shippuden. If yo...
They broke up on the train. Trains push his memories to the surface. All the trips into the country as a child. All the trees passing by, leaves changing to red and gold. The city fades fast, faster then you can imagine. It is so small compared to the stretches of country to the Jersey Shore, to Upstate, to Boston and Maryland and DC. Looking at Maggie, h...
"Stop thief!" A security guard shouted as he rounded a corner just in time to watch a feminine shadow vanish around another corner. He could still hear the muffled footsteps of the burglar so he started running again. He must have been catching up with her. This time he actually saw her white boots and flowing white mane as he turned the corner. He wasn't th...
We were sitting in a booth in a bar on Waikiki beach, Jeanie and I. The one where the floor turns into white sand half way across the room and runs all the way out to the waters' edge. It was 5pm on a gorgeous island evening and strips of crimson streaked the western sky. We were sampling the latest of a parade of exotic cocktails. These ones were blue with...
