Peter's shoulder hurt like hell, but he refused to stay in the hospital. "I'm fine and I want to be there when that bastard is interrogated. I have a few questions for him myself." "Pete you need to take it easy. You can talk to him tomorrow." Trevor said. "I'm going... where are my clothes? Peter asked looking around the small cubicle. No amount of talk...
Anastasia was the nerdy girl my best friend in middle-school dreamed to date. Chubby and shy; both a ginger and a Jew, with a slender nose and a long face that earned her the nickname "Horseface." Adorable. Thinking me better with the girls, he begged me to go and put in a good word for him, and maybe score him a date. Anastasia smiled at all my crappy jo...
In mortal life, I was a pious Muslim, praying to Allah five times a day, and read the noble Koran. Now that I'm no longer alive, I see no reason to stop. For if He who is the one True God worshipped by Jew, Christian and Muslim did indeed make all things then am I not one of His creations? I choose to believe that it's my actions that define who I am, and no...

"Sam, it's Brady. Sorry to call so early but the clerk of the court just called to tell us, the final decree was signed. We have a messenger on the way to pic...
After a long hard day at work, Stephen finally came home. Ah, the trials and tribulations of a Black man's life in this world. Born in the town of Cap-Haitien, Republic of Haiti, and raised in the City of Brockton, Massachusetts, he never imagined he would find himself in the City of Ottawa, Province of Ontario, of all places. The Confederation of Canada was...
XXXIVHonourable ServiceTamara2096 A woman in her mid-thirties strode about the grounds of Zoe's estate. She was wearing a smart suit of the kind only ever worn by female business executives. There was a rhythmic clicking of her high heeled stilettos on the paved stones as she walked along the path. Tamara cautiously opened the front door to the house. It wo...
XXX Britain Means Business Tamara 2095 It didn't come as much of a surprise to Tamara when Zoe died. The mystery was rather that she'd managed to live so long given that she'd managed to maintain for so long a drug habit far in excess of what a woman of advanced years was designed to withstand. All the same, it had been good while it lasted. She and M...
I first met Mohammad when I was a girl. He was 15 years older than me. I was 16 and he was the senior mechanic in my Dad's garage in Tel Aviv. I remember watching his body, as he would sweat under the boiling Middle Eastern sun. He would put down his wrench, peel off his shirt, and then grab a Cola, which he would drink in the yard. I would finger myself an...

"Did you just actually say 'rolls eyes?' How lame!" "Where are we again?" "Knoxville. You said we should stop here." "Well, I was wrong. How long till Memphis?" "'Bout five hours....
