Hank Murphy scanned the sky for the hundredth time in the last fifteen minutes. The sky was clear except for the four North American FJ-4 Fury jets far below and in front of his plane. He scanned the sky again, then concentrated his search to the north. That is where any playmates were likely to come from. He saw a slight glimmer out to the north, low. He c...
Author's notes: . I found this gathering dust in the corner of my hard drive. I had completed the first draft on a little better than three chapters of what I hoped to be a much longer work, before writer's block sat in and I put it aside to write Momma and Me. Since I don't like the idea of 13 submissions, (now don't tell me I'm superstitious, I THINK OF IT...
"Chad, I need to see you right away," Rieko said in an exasperated tone over my mobile phone. "Can you pick me up at my work place?" Even though I had been expecting her call, I pretended that I wasn't sure as to my availability. "Come on, Chad. You're holding my Raymond's markers. Don't deny it," she interjected. "He came home late last night and said tha...
If I heard one more crack or joke about being over the hill I was going to scream. I'd walked into my surprise birthday party and knew from that very moment the evening was not going to go as I'd planned. My wife Sandy and I had just come back from having dinner out. You see, it was my fiftieth birthday and I wasn't happy about hitting that milestone. I'd g...
"I was sorry to hear 'bout Maude," Poppa John said. "Thanks Poppa, Aunt Maude thought a lot of you." I said. He shook his head, mumbled something in his native tongue. Exactly what tongue it was nobody really knew. Some said he was Greek, some Portuguese but nobody ever asked. "So you gonna run the Breeze?" he asked in his heavy accent. "It looks like it...
This is a story that I submitted years ago to another site. It has been edited slightly since then, only to correct some grammar. There are currently three parts to this story. At the time that I wrote it I intended to continue it, but many things came up in my life and I never got the chance. Part 1 The sight of Aimie was unbelievable. Her mother was Ja...
Victoria smiled as she admired her reflection in the huge floor to ceiling mirror wall in her elegant private dressing salon. She was glad the war was over; it was good to wear white gloves and nylons again. Examining her image more critically she adjusted her hat just a tad so her lovely blonde bangs peaked out just so. Now that the occupation was over th...
This is the last episode of Mercedes demise. I hope you all have read the previous chapters; otherwise you may be a little confused. We left off with Mercedes asking me to point out Hammer. She wanted to do him and leave. ***** As I looked around the patio area, I spotted him drinking a beer and talking with two huge burly bikers named Hog and Tank. Of co...
I returned to college after laying out several years because of a shortage of funds and no shortage of lousy grades. I was twenty-one when I went back for a second try, still a second quarter freshman, and as yet unencumbered by spouse and family. My high school friend—we'll call him Bill for purpose of this story—was in a similar situation, but he'd returne...
ANOTHER NEW EXPERIENCE FOR CELESTE Bobby walked into Lily's house about a ½ hour after Celeste and Mary had arrived. Lily said she would be sure that the door was unlocked. Bobby entered the house and made his way up to the bedroom. As he peeked in he could see his girlfriend Mary naked lying on her back with her legs open and Celeste's face buried in her p...
