I hadn't planned on committing adultery--it just seemed to happen. I'm executive secretary to Tom Crawford, senior partner in the Crawford Law Firm. It was Friday afternoon, and I was trying to clear my desk so I could leave work by 5:00 o'clock when Lee Matthews stopped by my office. Lee is the newest attorney to join the group. He asked if I could find a...
(i wrote this story on some background information my best friend gave me. fifty percent of this is true. fifty percent of it i wrote myself) For years I've been thinking about why I joined the Army. Was it because I wanted to serve my country? Was it because I was 18 and wanted to be a man and make my own decisions? Was it because I was tired of being h...
I was back again, staying at the Hyatt. It was the same place where I'd been a number of times before while on business. It was a beautiful place where the central part of the ground floor was an open atrium type of arrangement, complete with tall palm trees. There was a restaurant and an intimate lounge area with a bar across the back wall and small table...
1 Katelyn woke up naked, hung-over and bleary eyed. She yawned, reaching up to the ceiling with her elegant arms and arched her sculpted back like she did every morning, just a little bit less gracefully on this morning. All of the sudden, she realized that her smooth long legs were in between soft, warm flannel sheets. She didn't own flannel sheets. These...
Selena sat at her desk. Her laptop screen glowed brightly in the darkness of her dorm. She read and re-read the words on her Facebook screen. 'Meet me at the library at midnight.' She knew it was crazy to even consider it, but she had had a huge crush on Tyreese Jackson since the very first time she had seen him. It was the first day of summer school. She wa...

The line for my morning shift was always horrendous. As much as I hate my job, I am thankful to be able to see such a colorful slew of people. The 9-5 usual, the joggers and soccer mom's starting their big day with a hot cup of coffee, and even the business executives and wannabe high profile leeches that come and go, just to get a glimpse of someone "famous...
There are two stories submitted in recent weeks that share the same title. Both tales concern a reunion; both are true but unconnected through the space and time continuum. I felt that each episode, because they occupied an equally important phase in my tumultuous life, they deserved the same title. The setting A little over twelve months ago I tragically...
Hello diary. I am Dani—Danielle DeVine. I’m a 28-year-old Account Executive with Asherah Advertising, a top twenty-five firm. Successful in business, I have been unlucky in love—or just too busy to bother. Even Frank (my boss; the one who’s name is on the firm) occasionally tries to set me up with his friends and acquaintances—most of whom are as straight la...
We were so looking forward to this weekend getaway. Glenn Meadows was very rustic, secluded and very romantic. Steven hadn't had a vacation even though this was a weekend we were still excited. Him being the provider made sure he shopped for food. I looked at the food being placed into coolers. We could feed a third world nation. Steaks, pork chops, Salmon....
