The sky was just beginning to darken when Kimi's brother left the convenience store, a can of Pepsi in one hand and a taquito in the other. Munching as he walked, he headed along the rural road that would take him take him back to the reservation. Void of any streetlights, there was only the murky blue light of dusk to illuminate his way, but instead of qu...
Chapter: 1: The Girl Can't Help It Destiny was shoplifting earrings one day when a man leaned on the glass counter next to her. "You know you can get in a lot of trouble for that?" he asked. "For what? I've done nothing wrong." She held the earring next to her face and turned her head to the side to regard her reflection in the mirror--and to admire the...
Punky's Diary – a Friend's Experiences, collected by Selbryth. January 15, 2007 Hey, it's me, Punky again! From the last time it was me and this cute girl Stevie from work. Well, we spent Christmas together, totally humping our brains out over the vacation, but then she had this family thing where her uncle wasn't feeling well over on the East Coast and s...
There was a crowd to meet them as they stepped into the arrivals' lounge at Melbourne airport. Tearfully, Jennifer's Mum raced to hug her and welcome her home. The three months they had been away had seemed such a long time. Eric and Andrew were just as happy to see them. Eric hugged his daughter, while Andrew was his normal teasing self. "Why didn't you b...
"His name is Peter. He's a nice young fellow. I'm sure you will like him. Better be careful though, I hear he's quite the ladies man." "Jack you prick," screamed Jackie over the static of the old wireless, "I'll get you for this." It was just like Jack. He had picked up another stray and he was trying to tease his way out from under her wrath. It was going...
PART IV -- THE WEASEL Naseem was gone from my life and although it was pleasing to savour my victory, I had paid a real high price for it. Though Naseem had not made his case for reinstatement or responded in any way that I was aware of, I was not sure that this status quo would remain. For all I knew, his cohorts supposedly had a video record of my rape, a...
"Jeffery, I need a driver and you're elected." My reaction was to look around the office to see if there was another Jeffery. In the three months I'd worked for Stall, Mark, and Company, this was only the second time Ms Hobart had spoken to me. The first time was when she welcomed me to the company. At that meeting, I got the distinct impression that my emp...
"You are fucking joking! I am not doing that. Which one of you dirty bastard's came up with that idea?" "Come on Sal, it'll be fun. We're all getting stale, we could do with something to liven our lives up." She looked at him from where she lay on her side of their bed trying to decide if he were pulling her leg or serious. He came up with some crazy notio...
April 2003 Joyce, her friend from the office, had recommended the hotel in Bermuda. She and Colin had renewed their vows there the year before... Joyce had raved about the margaritas, the nightlife, the quality of the service...Colin had described the golfing set-up as first-rate, if a little prosaic. Then they'd made us sit through the whole video of the...
Polly Tarantella hadn't always been the great custodian of Crystal Passion's legacy nor always the music's greatest champion. In fact, I first heard of her when Olivia—one of the few original band-members I still keep in touch with—e-mailed me a link to a Rock Music website I'd never have discovered otherwise in which Polly Tarantella lambasted Crystal Passi...
