Introduction To Whom It May Concern: That sounds ominous, but I’m taking the day off from work, I called in sick actually which may be reasonably justifiable. I needed to get some things down in my mind and in print but I don’t know yet who I’m going to share them with first, it may just end up being for me. Three and a half weeks ago I let my car pool bu...
Norm and Sue had written us a week or so before we made an arrangement to meet them at their home in a town almost two hundred miles west of us. Our phone calls, back and forth, had shown we had many of the same interests and it seemed like a promising arrangement. The 'G' rated pictures they sent us made Norm appear to be a little heavier than Linda prefe...
Once upon a time... Three massive wolves stalked through the village streets, growling and snapping at the frightened citizens that dared peer through their windows. A young beggar ran across the street and the largest wolf, wind rushing through the shining black fur, pounced, pinning him with one large paw and leaning his head down, tearing out the young b...
(Georgia, 1838) "Its official," Daniel Ross spoke in bitter tones. "The removal is going to take place." "There's nothing that can be done?" Dani Ross, his sister asked. Her voice was resigned. She was as intelligent as she was beautiful and knew the answer already. I suppose she was hoping for some surprise that would change everything. "No. The so-calle...
Sometimes you just need to take a break. It has been four weeks since school has gone back and when I woke up this morning to a glorious sunrise over Port Stephens I decided it was time to have a sickie. I called in at about 7.30 and faxed my lesson plans at 8.30. By then the sun was blasting into my lounge room window and I knew that it would be another hot...
The dark room with the well-lit stage smelled of smoke and echoed with the French accents of Montrealers. The pair made their way through the fuming cigarettes and indistinguishable chatter to a table in a quiet corner. In well-tailored suits amidst the jean and t-shirt-clad men, the two looked slightly out of place. Scott Greg and Jack O'Donnell had been o...
Jacob M. Stumps Professor; Bio-Chemistry Department Head He hardly even paid attention to the flaking gold lettering on his office door as he jiggled the keys until the lock finally gave up the ghost and let him in. His beat-up leather satchel hit the desk and his ass hit the chair, leaning back and rubbing at his temples to ward off the coming headache. He...
There was an assortment of eclectic regulars at the coffeehouse I owned. The Hipster Café was in fact the hippest place in the East Village. Some would dare pronounce it the hippest place to down java in all of Manhattan. We had fun. Sure we worked hard, but it was always fun opening our stage to anybody who wanted to perform. Nobody who played there was eve...
She had the whitest skin I had ever seen. And the blackest hair. The contrast was startling. And she was young, maybe twenty-five or -six. Too young, anyway, for me, deep in my forty-seventh year, to go legging after her. Besides, she was talking earnestly to Jimmy, the young computer whiz that occupied the desk just outside my office. If she's the girl he t...
