The unending stream of weeds and grasses continues to remind you of the end of your stable city life. Staring out the window of the U-Haul truck, you’re wondering how your life could pull a 180 so quickly, and how this guy next to you can still feel so happy go lucky about the whole thing. There he goes, the cause of your current dilemma, just casually boppi...
As the young Je'Quon flipped open his cell phone to take the incoming call, Mona took another small sip from her wine glass. She was flustered and weary. The music was soft and relaxing, and the hot summer sun and the presence of such a masculine and powerful man had all but taken it's toll on her during the long walk to his car. "Hey, girl. Why don't ya'...
The moon was dimmed by the thick fixture of leaves that shuttered above us, leaving only the soft street lights and the bright stream of the car's headlights to illuminate the street before us.

He is dressed in a very nice and very expensive business suit. Celaeno can't recall a time she ever saw the man in anything else. Things haven't changed in all these year...
At 25,000 feet my mind drifts back to the last six months. My deployment to Operation Baltic Hammer is over. 147 combat missions and I'm still alive. My plane and body are still in one peace and I'm coming home. I scan the inside of my cockpit as I have done a million times before. The heads up display tells me I am on course at 25,000 feet and the final way...
Another day, another dollar, as the saying goes, but like most people, Reanne dreaded the boring routine that work brings. The same job, the same questions, the same answers, dull, dull, dull.

As Karen began to climb up through the layers of unconsciousness which constituted what she assumed was a very deep REM sleep, the first thing she became aware of was the pain in her left hip. She tried, without moving, to remember anything which she might have done the previous day which could have been the cause of her discomfort. She remembered the Samb...
My wife and I were planning a long needed extended vacation to Hawaii for our 20th anniversary. Seeing that we would be gone for 10 days, we asked one of our neighbor's teenage daughters to house sit our pets for us. Shelly was 19 and home from college. All she had to do was check on the cats in the evenings when we'd usually be home to feed them. I was a...
It is Sunday evening and I find myself on vacation in Southern California ready to spend a quiet evening walking the beach watching the sunset. The sky is clear and a full moon is on the calendar. I am expecting to experience the best part of my vacation tonight, just me, alone, watching the waves and smelling the fresh salt air. I leave my rented beach ho...
