Helping Move to College. A True Story. (names have been changed by request of the girl I helped move) It all started like any other day, I was sitting around wasting time on my computer on a day off while my fiance went out with her mom for the day, when my phone started ringing. "Hello?" "Hey Danny, it's Sarah, is Elizabeth there?" "No, she's out with h...
Ronda Rousey nervously adjusted the painting in her large hall one more time. It's wasn't squint but it gave her something to do and wasted another five seconds of this time that was passing so slowly. The 29 year old glanced up at her ornate hanging clock (paid for by one of her early UFC victories) and groaned as she saw the second hand hit exactly for eig...
Author's note: This is Part Three of a five-part series. In order to better appreciate this story, I encourage you to first read Part One and Part Two. * I awoke the following morning after only a few hours of sleep. I found that it was incredibly difficult to sleep, as my blood was supercharged with a combination of adrenaline and hormones. I couldn't wai...
The irony of the electric chair is that it was invented by Thom Edisson, as an extension of his research into alternating currents. I do not know if he refined the death device after he invented the chrono accelerator, or before. But the similarities in the technical aspects are certainly convincing. I do not think, though, that the etheric channeling was pa...
A small town disappeared. Those who tried to remember it could conjure up nothing more than a faint buzzing at the back of their mind. Those who went to where it once stood saw nothing but a vacant lot. The town's name and the names of its populace disappeared from records. Those who had family in the town forgot them, growing curious as to the strangers in...
Making it out of the hotel I looked around me, it was my small town, I knew my old house was just a half a mile from here. I walked down the high street and went into a Costa coffee shop. I hadn't been in a decent coffee shop for years since my doctor told me I had to give the stuff up. Two minutes later I was sitting in a comfortable chair and sipping my...
How the Four of us ended up in the pool together is a little bit blurry but my mind certainly cleared after that. Julie my wife and I attended a "Stralia" day party at a friend's house. These days were always great fun around the pool with a late lunch with games and plenty of drinks. The usual crowd was there with their kids plus other friends we saw fai...
Serene put down her quill and leant back in her seat, allowing the words to wash over her. Had she said too much? Or perhaps too little? She didn't even know where Aquila was, let alone how she would ever be able to send her letters. She just wrote them hoping that somehow the words would reach her friend. She wanted her guidance so much. She wanted to know...
"Okay so i have a dice app here in my phone." Jessica addressed Elyn and I while we were taking off our clothes at Kimmy's house (she was out working but we had her keys lol), getting down for fun. "The game is like this: we each will be assigned 2 numbers. When we tap the screen to roll the dice, whoever's number is rolled will sit on the couch, and the...
It came in the mail two weeks ago, an envelope containing a monthly statement that changed my life completely. It showed a past due balance of $435.00 from The Woman's Health Clinic in our state capital. It also raised a lot of questions in my mind as to why there should be a bill to begin with. We have great health insurance, paid for by my wife's employe...
