Judy was in paradise, the twins were approaching their second birthday and she was in the eighth month of carrying her first son in her inflated belly. Jonathan, her husband, had just been promoted area manager for the auto parts chain where he worked. Although it meant he would be away on the road most of the week he would be home most weekends and the si...
Jim was out of town on business the entire week that I was suppose to be going out to gain more members for our struggling church. But after carrying out to the car an extremely heavy box of leaflets, I had slipped and fallen on the icy steps and broke my leg. Suffering much pain with the cardboard box atop me a neighbor boy and the youngest member of the ch...
Every manager has their first employee evaluation week. Mr. Critchett was no exception. Judging his employees by their performance gave him a queasy feeling. The job was very new to him and all he had to go off of was the notes from the previous manager. Clearly, it was incorrect to say they were comprehensive. They were vague, at best, and limited. During,...
It started off to be a fine day. The sun was shining, the trade winds were blowing and I was on my way to surprise Jon with a homemade lunch. I smiled at the guard, signed in and waited at the elevator. Seconds later I enter the elevator and a male joins me. He's dressed like your typical business man with a dress shirt and slacks, shoes and a tie, but his h...
Passion in James County XV: Ben and Nancy Tim walked into Alex's office. "I got the reports from Jamestown P.D. on their interviews with the two women the principal told us Morris was dating," he said. "They amount to anything?" Alex asked. Tim frowned and shook his head.

Before long, someone would come running to Lucius' office...
Part One: The Farmer I've been watching you every day of the two months I've been working this land. I see you brush those long chestnut locks from your eyes as you hang out the laundry to dry. I know the look of frustration on your lovely face when the boss comes home and demands his supper, sneering at you like he was your overseer instead of your husba...
She examined herself in the mirror. She wasn't sure if she liked it or not. It was probably one of those things that she would have to get used to. She heard the front door open and close. Dave was home earlier than she thought he would be. "Clarissa, you here?" he called out. "In the bathroom, babe." She cleaned up the sink, throwing all the trash i...
The conference room emptied in under a minute. I was a little apprehensive about a return trip to the Queens'. I checked my purse to see if I had taken my Valium this morning. I found a dozen unopened double packs. I knew I had taken a complete two pill pack yesterday after my doctor's visit. And I remember the results. So with no open pack, I must not have...
It had been an incredibly long and frustrating day. At work I didn't get the promotion I wanted; I was sure it was because my boss would no longer be able to perv over my ass or look down my top if I was promoted. As if that wasn't enough, my car broke down, so I had to board a crowded train home with my face in some sweaty guy's armpit. The last straw was a...
