Roman, who had found a way back into the room waited for his queue patiently. He'd hoped that the flash of light would have appeared before Zaide had a chance to finish his show, but when Nadia's last breath came and his chest seized in mourning, he stopped hoping. The long and tense moment of silence did nothing to soothe his thoughts. And then he'd been fo...
This story is the sixteenth in a series. The prior stories will give context and character background. Hopefully, however, this story may be read enjoyably by itself. ***** Having practiced for slightly in excess of 30 years, I am reasonably conversant with the concept of unintended consequences. However, I observed yet another application of the concept...
Chapter 2 - The next day The next day arrived and I couldn't help but reflect upon my doctor's appointment the day before. I wasn't sure if it was real or if I had just dreamt it all. I remembered that I was told to return today for more 'examinations', but I wasn't ever told a time and didn't make an appointment. I must have dreamt the whole thing. Rather...
Hey everyone! Sorry this took so long! I'm expecting a steady stream of posts this week though. ***** Rhys lost track of how long he had been sitting by her bed. It was long enough for guilt to wash over him and plenty of time for him to feel completely sorry for himself that he wouldn't be able to court her. He wasn't even sure why it bothered him so much...
Ok you guys, sorry for going MIA. Just wrapped up midterms and now I'm getting ready for finals. Good news though! Your girls getting good grades! YAY!! Just know that my absence is for a good cause. It's a busy time. I thought about finishing the series in this chapter but I didn't want to screw you guys out of a good story. Yall deserve it! As usual,...
I met Annie in bar the week before Halloween. The bar was having a costume contest and we both ended up winning money (I took 3rd, she got 1st). From there we just started dating. I was very deliberate with her because I was just getting over one of the more painful of my breakups and I wasn’t sure if I had wanted to jump right back into things. Still, I cou...
"Did you miss me baby?" George grinned as he saw his mistress sitting elegantly at the bar. She was wearing a red sequined dress with high heels. Her hair was down around her shoulders and her skin was tanned just right. She was sipping a glass of white wine and George knew that it was probably the most expensive wine in the bar. "Of course. It's been way t...
I am 23 years old, auburn haired, brown eyes, stand 5'3 with an average body that matched my height, not model material, but not all that unattractive as I had been told either. I had been living in my uncle's home on the beach and going to college for the last three years. I was thrilled that he had given me the use of his beach cottage and since it had hel...
(The following is a true story. None of the names have been changed to protect the innocent, because, well, let's face it, none of us were all that innocent to begin with!!) * * * * * I never cared if these letters were true or not & I don't care if you believe mine, but here it is anyway: Back in '97 my best friend, my dog, died. He was 2 weeks shy of his...
I was out of work. My boss had had the courtesy to phone my landlady and let her know, so I was without a place to stay. One last jerkoff show had bought me exactly two more days before I would be living in a refrigerator box on the street. I fingered the little business card with her name on it. Miriam Douglas. Maybe it was stupid, but in the two times she...
