Summer holidays were always special for me and my little brother. Days that we spent with our grand parents in the village... No worries of home works, tuition classes... Just fun and fun! Every body in the village seemed to be related to us in one or the other way... Where ever you go you are welcomed with sweet smiles and all loving talks... Really great!...
This is a true story, in two parts. This first part is the intro. Assuming I get a good reception, I'll continue. ***** I was at boarding school in the North of England in my final year (my Dad was an engineer and my parents lived all over the world). I had my final A'Level exams starting in a few weeks. My 18th birthday was this week, 38 years ago. I was...
F. Scott Fitzgerald had it down perfectly—shadows and music that never fade, shadows you sometimes find yourself still looking at, as if they are really there, as though time has not elapsed, music still there, still as it was, the room, you, him, as though there is still a chance, I mean in this essay at least, of getting a friend back. There is nothing I c...
Octoposse I liked Mohammed. Unlike many of the locals here in Dubai -- and, to be fair, virtually all my fellow expats -- he set out to do a good job rather than to 'get rich quick'. Not that he, or rather his family, weren't rich to start with. Very, very rich. So, here he was, fresh faced holder of a first class degree in Electronic Engineering from an e...
Oh, I know what you think of me, Mrs. Riley. To you I'm only Jeffrey, that shy young man who lives down the street. Who doesn't even have the ambition to go to college, and is just happy to clerk down at the TruValue hardware store. You glance my way occasionally, but you don't see me at all, do you? I'm only here at your backyard barbeque because you invit...

I got married, got me a good job over to the Shoney's Big Boy, and then got divorced when I come home to find my husband sprawled on top of my best friend, Betty Jo, except me and her done made up since then....
The snow was falling and completely covered the ground outside the Brooks house. But inside things were just heating up as Brittney and Jeff Brooks were enjoying a bit of holiday cheer. "Mmmm," giggled Brittney as Jeff kissed her while they laid in bed, she dressed in a tight tank top and pajama shorts and he in a tank top and boxers, "Mmmm Jeff that tickl...
I sat on the stool at the bar, slamming down my fourth of fifth, maybe even sixth, Captain and Coke. God, that dress was unbearable. I wanted nothing more to rip off the frilly sunflower yellow material squeezing my sides like a corset. I asked the bartender for another and he cocked his head at me. "Don't judge me," I snapped. And he went back to pouring a...
"And His Eyes Be as Blue as the Sea" (Addendum: Matthew) (For Glen who wanted to know more about Matthew, and the other nice persons who asked I continue the story, this chapter is dedicated with much thanks) Matthew, feeling all his life like an addendum, had followed Alton over to the Humanities building to try to talk to him, but then Alton had headed s...
Chapter 1: Is this happening? I was chilling out playing some video games one evening, when a buddy of mine calls me up. "Hey man, me and my cuz are going to the strip club. Wanna come?" he asked. "Yeah, why the fuck not," I replied. "Just give me about half an hour, and I'll be ready to roll," saying this I got up and went to grab a shower. I shaved and...
