This is my first story guys, any feedback is welcome! Please don't charge too harshly, just positive criticism is great! Hope you enjoy it. P.S It's a bit long so if you just want a quick fix either skip to the end or maybe this isn't for you! ***** "BEEEEP, BEEEEP, BEEEEP" Isabelle Clark groaned and rolled over, throwing a hand out at her alarm clock to...
Kate and Rick left the driveway saying goodbye to Maria Baez, Jackie Curatola, Hayley Shipton, Joan Watson, Sherlock Holmes, Lanie Parish and Victoria Gates. They all had to head back to the city early. They were needed to be back in time for work tomorrow. Kate had something special planned after brunch out by the pool. They made their way out to the pool...
This is the tale of the sequence of events that occurred over time and changed the direction of my married life. To this day, I am still amazed at how things developed, and what my wife and I learned about each other along the way. Ellen and I met in college and married three years ago as soon as we completed graduate school. She earned an MBA in finance an...
Sam Morrison stood next to his bed, examining the clothes he had set out. His travel bag, bought just for this trip and giving off a strong smell of new leather, was open on the floor and ready to be stuffed full. "Then to the airport and after that Fort Lauderdale is going to catch hell," he said under his breath, mouth splitting into a feral grin. The ce...
The next couple of days flew by. When I wasn't working I was thinking about Elle. I briefly talked to Katie a couple of times, but didn't tell her about Elle. I'm not sure why I didn't, but I just kept it to myself. After work on Thursday, I took the Lincoln to get it washed and then went home to get showered and dressed. I wore a pair of black jeans with a...
Even after three thousand years, Starbucks kept its motto: "Our mission: to inspire and nurture the human spirit – one person, one cup and one neighborhood at a time." Eiri Lao felt a little thrill seeing the words embossed on his visa. Few corporations in Hadrian's American still served human consumer interests. He was proud to be hired on as a designer fo...
Not sure I remember too much about actually graduating from high school, but I do remember that summer after. Those first three months after – when I could finally say something like 'Free at last, free at last, God Almighty – free at last!' – and not feel like a complete idiot. Of course, only an idiot would think that – but suddenly life, and everything ab...

I will feel free to delete it and call you an asshole, out loud. Hope you enjoy the ending (no peeking!), reading it twice is also fun. Now the Disclaimer: This has been re-submitted with tweaks, all feedback and vote...
Hey Folks, This one is a little bit off of the beaten track. It's a little bit darker than most , but there is a light at the end of the tunnel. This is actually the lighter pf two versions of this story. Most of you know where the other version is and my thanks to whomever mentions it for those who don't. This story was edited by the legendary Barney-R. I'v...
For those who've read my other stories, Shannon's back; this is a prequel of sorts. And if you're new to my work, welcome! Hope you enjoy. * * * I was hesitant about whether I should talk to her about this. I mean, the school has a mentorship program for a reason: you're supposed to be able to talk to your mentor about anything, anything at all, and they'r...
