Killian was early to work, as usual. And she was smiling, as usual. But today, she was smiling at me. I'm not saying she was normally unfriendly. She smiled often. But when a girl who looks like Killian McFee comes in, and gives you a big grin, you know something's up. Five foot three, with a pale face and shock of flaming red hair, she looked like a bur...
After a hard week of work, I was all set for a romantic weekend with my girlfriend Joan. When I got home there was a telephone message from her telling me she had to go on assignment this weekend and was sorry and would make it up to me. The thought of me having great sex with her evaporated. So much for a nice weekend I thought. I showered and put on my j...
The story continues as the officers seem to be heading towards a breakup. Both have been involved outside their relationship and it doesn't look like it's going to stop any time soon. * Alana was in the women's locker room cleaning up from our recent encounter. I stayed in the office to put myself back together and cover for Alana. I noticed the time on t...
'Mum, Mum...MOTHER!' Kainene screamed the last word. 'Gah! What is it, Child?' Her mother snapped in irritation. She was trying to stuff her daughter's novels into her suitcase and it refused to shut. Her face was red, she was sweaty and her daughter was screeching in her ear. She was not best pleased. 'Don't yell at me mum, I'm trying to tell you not to...
I'd just finished putting a new generator on my '52 Chevy. It was early August and I was relieved that I'd finished before the temperature got much over 80 degrees. I looked forward to relaxing the rest of the weekend. Then, my sister, Mary called and asked if I could put up some new window blinds and curtains in her apartment. Her husband had to work all da...
The atmosphere in the Manchester Walker mansion was so cold and austere—and judgmental—that Ada could feel herself drying up and withering away from the inside. But this is exactly what she wanted; if she had known how to enter a convent, she would have done so. She wanted this cancer of sensuality inside her to be lanced and to flow away. The Walker sister...
Aithete, Wyoming. Just a crossroads really, one two lane stretching from the Fort to St. Elias School, and another stretching from Freemont the nearest town to the Oil patch. One corner housed the mission farm and school. This was where orphan, abandon and latch key children went to go to school, participate in programs, and get a good meal. Some walked for...
She entered the castle, they all were taken into, the grand ballroom. There were so many of them, in the room, she was very nervous. Her heart rate had begun to accelerate, and her hands were tingling. She looked the part thank goodness, she had dressed just right. She had chosen to wear a blue gown, the same color as her eyes. It was sleeveless and mid cut,...
Istvan looked concerned as his friend closed the door. "She isn't evil after all, is she?" He was almost afraid to know. "No, no," Albus said with a gentle smile and a dismissive gesture. "The results of my scry, however, were more than I was expecting. Of course, I could not in good conscience limit my efforts to the Three. I am scrying everyone; I trust t...
Note: I had hoped to finish a different story, in three chapters about three loves of a man, but sometimes stories write themselves and this one took on a life of its own. If I can ever get it under control, I'll submit it. But I don't have high hopes for that one. Meanwhile here is a tale that I guess you could call a flash story because it is fairly short...
