"You have tried so hard Jack Charles." Hygeia said. She sat on the front of his surfboard, both of them bobbing up and down on the waves. "You tried time and again to teach all the women in your family. Tried to teach them to be responsible, to be considerate, to be good and kind. You tried and failed over and over again but...it is not your fault." He was...
This story is an idealized work of fiction. The setting, even though inspired by history, is by no means reflecting events of the past with historical accuracy. Essentially it is a love story that has been close to my heart for a long time now. Feedback is welcome. :o) *** Chapter 1 - Shattered Dreams "Through a millennium we have prevailed upon this land...
Imagine you are 18 years old in an all-girls school. Plaid skirts, white blouses (and mandatory white bras), knee-length white socks, and black MaryJanes are the outfit you must all wear. With no boys around, obviously, boys are the number one topic of conversation. One Monday, after you and your friends had had a slumber party over the weekend, you are sit...
Many thanks to techsan for editing this story. It is suggested you read the two previous chapters before reading this chapter. * As you remember from Chapter 2, my wife Emma left me on a Saturday evening to go to what she thought was an innocent dinner with Rolf Ericsson and his friends at the Old Colonel's Mansion. After the dinner she would be introduc...
So many new experiences were coming at me all at one time that I was having problems processing them. A college freshman - finally! But all the daydreams about busting loose were tempered because I was also in the seminary. We weren't cloistered, but we sure did not have the opportunities that most college students have. Of course, the seminary was an all-b...
This is the first of the sequel and prequel installments related to my "A Strange Arrangement" series. You don't need to read A Strange Arrangement to follow this short series (though I encourage you to read it!), but fans of Gina and Andrew's story will note a lot of crossovers. This is Ian's story. ***** My name is Odessa, which my mom says was to remi...
That weekend was a pause in the drought. We went through another week of school and nothing happened but a few quick after school kisses and some touching. We were starting to drift apart it seemed. Her husband wasn't going on any trips and was putting most of his time into making her life hell. I felt bad for her but at the same time my life was just as cra...
Tanya went back to school after her visit with Ayisha and Candy. She and "the girls"- - Julie, Irene, and Mary- -still got together regularly and played but somehow Tanya was beginning to lose enthusiasm. Many times, Tanya just sat on the sidelines and ran the camcorder while the girls had fun with each other. There were some great scenes played out for her,...
One thing that did get Tanya on Mary's good side was Tanya's art work. Mary, being an art teacher, admired Tanya's natural talent for capturing spontaneous events in pen and ink- -or, more properly, in felt-tip pen. Tanya was dazzling with her swift sketching of subjects, static or in action. She showed Mary some of her fashion drawings and Mary was impresse...
