"You're wasting your money again mam." Said Gail, as her mother Audrey texted yet another competition entry into her phone.

Replied Audrey. Gail laughed and said, "y...

This story has many different elements however. ************** I'm Brian Rector; I had been married to Melissa Rector nee Zachery for 23 years at...
The mini vacation soon passed and Pete and Valerie had to return to the Felt. The time was short, but Valerie was elated, and fully satisfied. She had a friend and a lover wrapped in a perfect bow, someone she could lean on. She had already made it back to her room and donned on her uniform, she had the morning shift today.

It came as no surprise then when Cat came home, poured some wine and told me all about it. "It's fancy dress this year." Sounds like fun, I'm thinking. I work in a small electronics store with a bunch of other geeks, we never have any dece...
It was a calming October evening. The leaves were turning brown, as they were extra-crisp as Delta City citizens would stomp on them. The City was a wonder- the way it stood tall shining towards the world. It was a City any person would be safe to reside in. For it had a guardian. A Guardian who had protected them from time- and the world itself. None other...
