Special thanks to "larryinseattle" for his editing and patience. ***** Gavin had always loved photography. He got his first camera, an old Browning 'Fold-out' model, from an aunt when he was six years old. After that, everywhere he went, people heard 'snap, snap, snap' as roll after roll of film poured from it. When he was in high school, he even became...
Part 1: Roger Ask any historian of British naval history about the late Rear Admiral Sir John Ambrose 'Bull' Bullamore, DSC, and they will tell you he is a legend: a ruddy-faced, pugnacious, larger-than-life character, the son of a humble provincial tailor who rose through the ranks due to a combination of superb tactical awareness, daring and courage in co...
Sean and Guido sat on the large front seat with me while the girls, my mom, Max and Adolph sat in the back talking. Sean and Guido were silent during the five minute trip. I parked the vehicle about ten feet from the house. Guido and I helped everybody out of the back; Max and Adolph were the last ones out. They all headed towards the house except Guido and...
~o~ The next morning when Persephone awoke, she was surprised to find that she was at home in her own bed. A morning breeze blew in through the open window, fluttering the curtains and lending a slight chill to the room. Persephone stretched her arms up over head and threw off the heavy comforter. She swung her legs out and shuttered as she let her bare fe...
Eight and a half weeks. That's how long Gage would be away for basic training, but they tried to keep in touch as much as possible. It was difficult being freshly engaged and not being able to be with your fiancé/fiancée to share the experience... That new love sensation. Natasha and Gage's love was very new. Although all their life it had been no secret...
The conclusion to the story. Friday Morning Nathan's parents would not give him any more details about what was going to happen at school or church, and he dreaded what would happen. After Pastor Stephens' outburst in front of everybody, Nathan knew that his chances of just quietly making it to graduation were slim, at best. He parked in his usual spot an...
The balmy sea breeze stirred her golden hair as Constance de Granville walked onto the balcony overlooking the harbor. She tipped her head back to allow the cooling air better play over the curves and hollows of her throat. Below, the docks of Veradoga teemed with activity. Constance could hear the ribald laughter of sailors, pleased to be in port at last,...
This is a story about a wife caught cheating and the price she pays for it. If you are looking for a 'Sex Story' you can stop reading now. If you are looking for a 'Kiss and Make Up' story you can stop reading now. I would like to thank, JACUZZIGAL for her editing skills and friendship. Chargined I would like to 'Thank You' for inspiring me to write. Fo...
I could hear someone groaning. After a moment I realized that it was, of course, me. How many times over the centuries had I woke up like this? Too many to count, and certainly more than I remembered. Damn it was dark in here. For a moment I had no idea where "here" was. The memories flooded back; the cavern, the family, the old man and most of all Thorfinn...
Andrea stepped quietly up from the cabin onto the after deck well. The clouds had come in like a blanket over the moon, underlit by the streetlights of Split. Masts and bobbing small craft could be made out around her in the dimness. She stowed her armload of towels in the PFD bin and rigged the ladder, fuming and despairing alternately. They demanded her s...
