Hiding a Company sniper from drug lord killers. * My name is Bernice McDonald and I am the very happy owner/ operator of a couple of children's day-care centers. I love my life and I love this work. I love children and since I have one of my own this helps satisfy my need to nurture. I have not always felt or recognized this need. I was born in a remote...
XXVI. Lisa informed Jenn, early one morning, that they'd been invited to a very ritzy 'do' in the city the following evening. "It's at this opulent Beach Avenue penthouse on False Creek; I've been there once before." Jenn just looked and listened. There was a barely contained excitement in Lisa's voice, hovering just beneath the surface. It was as if she ha...

Not that it matters but this is based on a true story narrated to the author by the main character, a man who casually mentioned the rather unusual way he lost his virginity.

I liked it and suggested in the comments section that we all thank him by writing a story using the theme -- nude artist model. Here is my effort. Be sure to check out HeyAll's work. All characters are eighteen a...

I was bored. Miserably, horribly, completely bored. When the fall semester began the drunken frat party that was Halloween on my college campus was the furthest thing from my mind. I was 28, unmarried, and teaching was getting stale. I was involved with my church group; oddly enough our occasional missions to forsaken hellholes actually provided me with a...
