Tale #22 - Levi's Fantasy Comes True Joe has been in our lives since we met. What I mean is that he has been a story in my mind and a reality in Jules' mind. I have never met Joe in person, but Jules has retold stories about him. She sees my reaction to these retellings, and loves me enough to continue. One night as we were watching the television, Jules t...
She was just someone I met at a party. It was one of those mundane things I went to, because I had to network. Actually, it was more of a business meeting with cocktails. From the moment I arrived, it seemed, I was itching to leave, until I spotted her. I had never seen her before. From the moment I saw her, sitting on an ottoman in the large parlor at my e...
Special Holiday We arrived at the camp site in the early evening and it seemed quite busy but the weather was wonderful and the sun was shinning bright. This was going to be a special holiday for us as we had not had one for awhile owing to the pressures at work, so we looked forward to enjoying every minute of it for the full week ahead. We soon settled...
One late autumn evening, Kathy turned the swivel chair around to look out the big window from her boss's office. She could see how dark it had become; the days were getting shorter and shorter. The cool wind blew colourful leaves around haphazardly under the light of the streetlamps. Looking down at her watch, she saw that it was 7:30 P.M. She had been worki...
When you watch one person transform, you don't notice that you've transformed yourself. You don't realise that you're just as attractive to the opposite sex as you are to them. Well that's me, Brianna Fitzroy. Ugly duckling extraordinaire. Almost overnight, I transformed from this super skinny schoolgirl, into this brown skinned, long limbed goddess and I d...
Individually her classes, work and personal life were each manageable. But forces seemed to be conspiring against her in recent weeks to drive her crazy. The personal life was, sadly, suffering the most. Sarah had been single for a few months, but had found little opportunity to get back on the horse as far as men were concerned. She'd had a date or two, a...
Rishi - I know this is a big shock for you, finding your mother in the arms of your best friend. Sorry man, we didn't think you were coming back so early from your tuition class. You had this traumatized look on your face as you opened the door a few minutes ago. There we were - Neena and I (I call her Neena Aunty in front of everyone, but in private I call...
Natalie glanced up at the clock on her dresser...it was quarter to five and she hadn't set the table yet. Richard would not be happy. He'd called at half past three and told her that he was bringing home two of the new associates he had hired. They would be starting next week, as soon as the law school commencement was finished. She had met both young men...
It's been roughly a year since I last saw Joe. Our games were fun and amusing, but they couldn't last forever. Joe was too quiet. And I was just too vibrant for him he claimed. Well I guess I was! I have a new set of regulars and a new set of so called friends. They are more like acquaintances really. A great bunch of guys, always making me laugh for a chan...
Cliff Connor stood in the living room of 787 Amethyst Dr. He stood completely speechless in his blue jeans and white T shirt. A six pack of beer was in his left hand but this was completely irrelevant at this particularly awesome moment. Mandy Rivers, the 42 year old fifth grade teacher from whom he rented a room from was standing in the living room. She l...
