I will return to some of the other stories that I've partially completed. This was something that flowed today. I hope you enjoy. Please take the time to vote and comment. Feedback is always appreciated. ***** We'd arrived. It was my birthday present. With a spring littered with health problems and other relatives' birthdays, Isabelle and I had decided t...
The room was dark and Isabelle sat quietly in front of her Christmas tree to gaze at the lacing multi-colored lights. Faith Hill’s melodic voice lingered in the background singing Where are You Christmas? She poured herself another glass of merlot from the half-empty bottle beside her and hummed along with the music, her eyes drifting out the window where la...
The most bland elevator music imaginable played as co-workers and various office-mates mingled, many of them strangers, some of them acquaintances from my floor. The annual fiscal year-end office party (yippee.) I'd come alone, but was hanging out with a girl from my floor, Isabelle. She was hot, dressed funky, had class, was friendly and cool. We both felt...
The next days were relatively normal. There was no further word from Linda and they soon forgot about her, Jean-Marie had made her the pasta he had wanted to and she had another thing to compliment him about. He had less reason to scold her for mistakes at work and she felt good when he praised her for jobs well done. She did get curious again after seeing...

Chapter 14. Heather's weekend comes to a climax. All the characters in this story are over 18. It is set in England, so the words used are English not American. And this story continues after Heather Chapter 13... When I arrived round again on Saturday night - it was about 6.30 or so - I was surprised to hear voices from inside as Heather opened the door....
"So what? Have you made friends with your new little room yet?" Mistress Veronica asked, playing with the gloves she was holding in her hands. "Yes my Mistress. A very pleasant place," replied the scared maidservant. Mistresses looked at each other and smiled. Slowly, they began to put black leather gloves on their left hands right next to the maidservant...
It took a few days for tensions in the house to ease. Alasdair and Balthazar didn't spend a lot of time in close proximity but at least the glares the faerie continued to level at the vampire became less icy around the edges. There were no friendly overtures made by either of them but considering how much worse it could have been Balthazar was grateful that...
Several days went by and Isabelle had gotten things back to what they were when she had left for Bête Holdings. Her father praised her and even Jean-Marie had told her he was proud of her when they spoke on the phone. Her sisters didn't want her to go because then they'd have to get back to working hard and wouldn't be able to borrow a suit from Isabelle to...
When I got on the plane in Manila to continue my journey to Frankfurt, my assigned window-seat was taken. A child or woman, curled up in sleep or indifference against the cabin's wall, was occupying it. The plane's scheduled flight had started in Tokyo, and she or it had there taken possession of the vacant seat. I was in a happy mood and it was not worth ma...
