It was saturday evening, and Erin Kayleigh Keifer was annoyed to be stuck at home alone. Her parents and younger brother were unexpectedly away for the night, so she went right online to check in with her friends. Unfortunately they all had other plans or didn't have a car ride available (living in a wealthy suburb far from town meant walking or transit were...

Thank you Tigersman for editing this chapter. This chapter and 2 and 3 have been revised and edited so all my mistakes are now covered up. - The bar was packed as usual on a Saturday night. It was the place to be, whether on a date, looking to make new friends, or just unwind after a long week. The Brownstead Brewery always felt like a welcome to place to...
Thanks for 'Techsan' for his editing of this story. * Here it is the afternoon of Christmas Eve and I am sitting all alone at my kitchen table with a bottle of Jim Beam and my gun. I'm not a big drinking man but I did get the Jim Beam whiskey to build up my courage to do what I'm about to do. You see, this is the first Christmas I would be spending by myse...

Blind date becomes a bust before becoming a love match. Bill sat at the end of the bar, a seat from which he could watch the front door. He had been sitting there for a while. He was hoping to see her before she spotted him. He was excited about meeting Susan, his blind date. He hoped she looked as good as her picture. All of the other women he met had lied...
It had been a great block party in the communal area that the houses shared. The food had been prepared and brought along by the wives and one or two of the husbands who had at least one signature dish. (Signature dish usually meaning it was the only thing they could cook!) The drink had flowed, consisting of bottles of store bought beers, wines and spirit...
Appendicitis. A weird and difficult word. What it meant was that the reason why Ricardo's mother had been in such pain the past few days, the reason why she had walked bent over double, wincing with pain as she went about her business, the reason why she had collapsed at work and had to be taken to the hospital in a hurry, the reason why she had to have an o...
((OOC: I would like to mention as the author that I am also the writer of a few other SW stories on other accounts, so if any have similarities, that is why) Leia sighed. For the next several weeks, it would just be herself and her daughter, Jaina, at home. The rest of her family were obliged to go handle a situation on a planet on the other side of the pla...
Matt could feel his face get hotter and hotter. Karen carried on watching Eastenders but glanced over to him noticing a change in his colour. "Are you Ok" said Karen who was unsure of what was wrong with him but could see something was up. "Yes" murmured Matt, still staring at her meaty soles, her slightly worn toes and dry heel. Karen glanced down at her...
