No serving police officer could ever write this story so I can only write it now from the haven of retirement. It was made very clear to us at the time that this file was sealed forever and not a word of these events should ever come out but I think I am safe now. The only way they could censure me over revealing these things is by admitting that the story w...
It was my ex-boyfriend Iain who first mentioned the 'Glory Hole for Gals'. I realise now that he knew more about it than I'd suspected at the time. He'd tried hard to mention it casually and with a slight sneer of derision, as if it was the haunt of the desperate or the damaged, but looking back, there had been that knowing, half turned on expression that he...
~Prologue The quaint little town of Bristle-thorn sat, nestled between fertile hills, a pristine river brimming with enough fish to feed the town a dozen times over, and a forest so full of life it may as well have been another world. And, in this town with its one-story farm houses, cobblestone streets, and gentle-mannered people, Adelaide stood, wiping t...
Author's Note: For the sake of the narrative, let's just say this story takes place in the days before campers could buy those emergency radio beacons. * Every exposed inch of Melissa's fair skin was searing under the hot summer sun. She could feel every one of the countless beads of sweat clinging to her body, sliding down the small of her back and rollin...
Alice awoke in a warm fluffy bed, as if the mattress was made of feathers and cotton balls (which most likely they were). The aroma of old wood and cinnamon lingered in the air and Alice slowly but surely came too from her sleep. Rubbing her thighs together she could tell she was still in her nylons and her tea party attire. The gown felt comfy against her...

Enjoying being the centre of attention she would dual against like-minded women in front of descendants of the pharaoh, as di...
All eyes immediately turn to her. It takes her a moment to process what just happened. She looks over to Rainer, his expression defaulted to a smooth blank face; when she turns her gaze to Quell she sees that he is just as surprised as her, starting at Rainer in shock before glancing directly to Coral. "Coral," the Governor says softly, drawing her attentio...

Deep in the heart of the Great Wood they lived, surrounded by the fragrant cedars and the stout oaks, the weeping willows and the flashy birches in their coats of silvery white. Rapunzel learned the nam...

"Where are you?" My bruised, battered, and somewhat singed body was only part of the reason why I wanted to snap at Goat who Wrestled. My sifu was casually walking around me, smoking one of his many, many, many pipes, and he had asked me yet another question that I was almost certain was some kind of a trap or trick. I was the Unconquered. I thought that b...
