I was beyond pissed when she breezed through the door three hours late. "Where the hell have you been? I had to get Chad ready and take him to school. Bobby is pissed and I need to get to work." She just shrugged. "Bill wanted us to work over, a couple of hours. Even paid us in cash so Uncle Sam doesn't get his greedy paws on it. It'll make up for any time...
She propped her feet up on the coffee table and took in the scenery outside the window; rain fell in whispering sheets. She had a cup of tea on the end table by her head, and an old issue of the New Yorker between her knees. She reached lazily behind her for the cup, and pulled a jar of honey from the floor beside the couch. Slowly, she twisted the lid until...

She said, "Oh, I didn't hear you ge...

I was fifteen when my dad walked out on my mother and me. It was the typical story of a man leaving his wife and family for a younger woman. In this case it was for his secretary who was ten years younger than mom. At first, mom was pretty devastated. I just pretty much took it in stride. He had never been much of a father, always seeming to be too wrapped u...
*Note to readers: This story involves the fetish of smoking. If that offends you, please move on but don't bother telling me how you feel about it. Smoking is legal and people who smoke do so by choice. As I've said elsewhere, from the moment it begins, life comes with a death sentence. How we live in between is a matter of free choice.
