My name is Brent Collins. Let me tell you about my cousin John. I can't remember when I started to hate him, not for certain. But I do know it started when we were both pretty young. When I was eighteen John's dad gave him a car. I remember it well because I was so jealous. My dad told me if I wanted a car I would have to pay for it myself. Considering I...
There is light in this darkness an image I can see coming closer. It looks so real the cabin on the hill the forest around it the sun setting behind it, and something else Muirie and I sitting in a large chair over looking the valley and the hill were several werepups were at play. The image is not perfect. There challenges and difficulties, and sometimes ev...
Thanks again to my editor sdbnnc for all her help with this story. Hope you all enjoy it. The army had provided a jeep for the trip across the Pennines. Odin, his bodyguards, Bran and Gelert, and the witch Carla had all travelled by paw or hoof over the mountains in a few hours, but then they hadn't had any luggage other than Carla's bag. It turned out th...
I fell asleep after my swim, my arms tired but curled comfortably into a pillow. The sun's touch felt warm and gentle on my back, and the sound of the waves lapping peacefully in the background lulled me into an easy slumber until the touch of his hand woke me. "You're late," I scolded gently. He rolled me onto my back and I shaded sleepy eyes against the s...
I unhooked Pluto's leash and told him to go to his bed and then took off my rain coat and hung it in the closet and stuffed the dog's leash up on the shelf. Then I wandered into the kitchen to get a dog treat from the pantry before heading to the room my hubby and I liked to call 'Planet Pluto' so that I could dry the dog off a bit and give him his treat. Af...
In my line of work, you don't sleep in: the morning rush is good, easy money. I don't wake up so much as rise from my brief catnap, grabbing a quick shower, putting on minimal makeup and shimmying into something provocative. Today it's a tight, short blue dress, the one Mr. G likes because he's a regular and sometimes tips extra, along with matching pumps an...
You may recall what I'll call my, um, interlude with Stevie's friend, Ray, or maybe not. What it was, was my guy Stevie came home sorta smashed on a Friday in mid-August and brought this guy I never knew he knew with him. Stevie's a great lay and because of that I tend to overlook his many other faults. Now maybe I was wrong to put the X-rated shit on, but...
My name is Bob. I am single and live alone in a condo development. I have been divorced for six years, and I have had a succession of affairs during that time, but none has lasted too long. I must have a character defect, I guess. The sex was always good, but other issues got in the way, and I moved on. At this time I am not involved with anyone. I work fro...
===================================== I have decided that instead of carrying on my first go at writing (Ellie's messy swim) I will start a fresh using the same names as I already had the next chapter half written up but couldn't get around the issues I was having. Again thanks to all that commented, I may have ideas but what you ask for or parts you enj...
"I'm sorry kids, but it didn't take," Dr. Gruber said as he looked across the desk at the young attractive couple sitting before him. The news hit them both like an anvil as tried once again to absorb the bitter disappointment that flooded through them. For the past three years Brian and Bridget Anderson had been trying to conceive a child, and for the past...
