Chapter 7 : Opportunity & Anniversary The trouble with her job, thought Becky White, was that most of the staff didn't want to be there and most of the clients didn't either. Placing sponsorship opportunities had been interesting once upon a time. There had been more sponsors than clients and the sponsors had been keen to get the right placements. There...
And then the light bulb went on above my head, like it does in cartoons when a character gets an idea or the answer to a question. Holy shit -- my third child really wasn't mine -- she was the biological daughter of another man! I was on the phone with a representative from Genealogygurus.com, inquiring as to why my daughter's DNA test had not been process...
This is the story of a young woman's conviction as a terrorist and what happens to her when she is sentenced to penal slavery. Penal slavery is not impossible.

The cops and the prisoner then descended down a long flight of stairs to the terminal building's basement, turned a corner and entered a large room. It was in this room where Maria Elena would have her initial interroga...
This is a slight departure from my previous stories. I had seriously considered posting this under Sci-Fi, given that it takes place far in the future on a planet far from Earth. I decided to put it here anyway, since it deals with a cheating spouse and a husband who seeks to set things right. As always, constructive comments are always appreciated and wel...
The night progressed quickly as the children responded to Alena's blood or, as Gabriel proudly reminded her, their combined blood. No matter how gentle and understanding he had been with her, Alena would never have guessed how easily he assumed the role of a parent. She smiled as he carried both children, one cradled in each arm, to their apartment. "You l...
Alena trembled in fear watching the scene in front of her. First this strange woman, who she had seen in her dream, had managed to enter the treatment room where the children slept. Before she could scream for Gabriel, she had been grabbed by none other than Cassian, a man who apparently enjoyed flirting with danger. But now, his body lay on the floor, headl...

Arthur sensed that the two g...
