It was a characteristically temperamental Midwestern spring day, gray skies, wind, rain and all. My friend Mari and I were taking shelter at the coffeehouse at the end of vomit row since it was closest to the English building and our Renaissance literature class had just finished. This had become a weekly ritual, sitting and chatting over delicious hot bever...
*Yet another story I wrote for my lady a while back, this one is a little particular. You'll see what I mean. Do leave a comment or a favorite if you want to see more like this, and I do take requests (If I like the ideas) so feel free to contact me too. Enjoy* P1 The northern winds blow across the snow covered hills just outside of town, the sun reflect...
I keep house for Nick Rhodes. That is to say, I'm his housekeeper. The agency sent me over a few months ago; I thought it might have been a one time assignment, as he's never really home, but he likes someone to come in everyday. So hey, that's easy, keeping a clean house clean. I have my routine. When I first walk in the door, I scratch Yag behind the ears...
After leaving the lake, we decide to stay overnight at a hotel in the area. We had seen a fire tower on the Shawangunk Mountains when we had gotten off the NY Thruway at New Paltz, earlier that day. The fire tower was part of the hotel's grounds. "My mom had ridden on a horse and wagon in the 30s to get there." I told Zoe. "The hotel looks like a Victor...
Tammany hadn't been gone a full minute before there's a tap at the door. "Who is it?" I call, not wanting to look at the door or deal with who's behind it. "Stacie." I grab one of the threadbare towels Tammany had left by the basin and head to the door. "Jolie! Are you...he brought you a tub?" Stacie rushes in through the door, past me, and dips a hand...
Sheridan Lockwood followed the evidence and came here, to the closed Schuyler Concert Hall on the campus of Charlotte State College. His client just wanted answers, and now he believes he could find them here. A ghost appeared on stage, a young man well-dressed and standing straight. A panicked look on his face. When Lockwood approached, he sensed the angu...
Helena was exhausted. Her body ached as she and Esma waited in the line for stew in the main hall. The smell of it made her stomach ache and she salivated as they gave her a generous helping. They made their way to a table quietly and sat away from the others. Normally the hall was more active but everyone was simply too exhausted to be very social. Some sti...
Week 1, Class 1 (Introductory Topics: Course Intro) Jill thought it would be a hoot. She needed a free elective for three more credits to satisfy her graduation requirements, and figured sitting around talking about sex for a semester would be a great way to do it. Besides, she had heard there were no exams, little homework or reading, and just a couple of...
It was always a pain checking in to a hotel at night. Maybe it was just because he was tired but all the steps seemed excessive. Either way, he had his room and he was settling in for 2 weeks away for some important work. The hotel was smaller and out of the way, but still quite nice. How a hotel like this one has so few occupants on a Friday night, he did...
Mags had to leave just after nine the next morning; she had a hairdressers appointment. Mum and Jack had an extra hour in bed then they showered and had breakfast. Jack had to be at Babs's shop at twelve to collect the van then go to the school to pick up the seats then take them to the Church Hall. Mags was at the school when he arrived with the van; she wa...
