I parked the car at the curb, several houses down from Eleanor Kaminski's, and sat there for a few minutes before getting out and heading slowly down the sidewalk. I didn't especially feel like being there, but at the same time, I didn't feel right about standing her up when I told her that I would come back. There were lights in several of her windows but t...
Chapter 05: Someone to watch over me Robbie shut the apartment door behind him a walked toward the kitchen, taking his jacket off and hanging it on the coat stand. As he entered the kitchen, he saw the flashing light indicating a message on his phone. He sat down at the kitchen table and pushed the 'new message' button. It was from Eleanor Thompson. "Hi Ro...
I have come for a job interview. The offices are massive, modern and right in the heart of London. The company is called CDE Publishing Ltd, their email said that they produce magazines and periodicals, but I am not entirely sure what kind.

As soon as we got back to the car, Suzie Bowen put the soda on the floor, got up on her knees on the bench seat, and stripped off her polo shirt again. She leaned forward and kissed me, then went once more for the...
It was a summer like no other I had ever known. I had spent the last three months with my Aunt Gwen. Aunt Gwen is my mother's much younger sister who looks and acts more like she is my age. It all seems so surreal that on my first day there I woke up in bed and had a perfect view of Aunt Gwen's art studio in the next room. She was busy painting and I just la...
Here's another story that is inspired by a favorite song of mine. (I know, I know. Can't come up with a single original idea these days; I have to keep ripping off the music world!) The band is The Corrs, an Irish group. They are perhaps my all time favorite group and I highly recommend them to anyone. This particular song is from a later album and the appea...
What I'm about to tell you came to me, while watching the dogs playing in our yard on Sunday the 4th of November, so I threw some ideas together and cobbled up a quick story for a second entry into A Sunburnt Country Story event. ****************** My sorry tale is based on certain events, and I'm sure that you won't be inclined to contact the cops and rep...
I punched in for my shift feeling a little seedy and worse for wear. For one thing, I could have used a shower. I washed up a bit in Eleanor Kaminski's bathroom, but it wasn't enough to completely purge the funk of our exertions on her floor. I kept catching stray whiffs of Mrs. Kaminski's talcum-powder-suntan-lotion-herbal-shampoo-spray-deodorant-cigarette-...
