An Anasazi village carved into a steep red rock canyon, below a dusty and arid mesa, lay hidden away from the rest of the world. The village housed a small collection of families, all of which were known for their individual contributions. One such family had only one daughter, A 19-year old named Lomamana, which in Anasazi means, "the beautiful one." Her el...
Summer was more than half over, and the hot sun had baked her garden. Driving out to the mountain cabin, everything seemed yellow, tan and brown – more like fall – instead of the usual greenery that carpeted the scenic trip. Now, she frowned at her dry, thirsty vegetables and flowers, wishing for a nice rainstorm. She turned and started toward the porch – s...
A couple of weeks later she pulled nearly the same trick, but I was a little more prepared. This time, too, she wasn't being quite as forward. She sat patiently at the back of my classroom as I delved into the last 20 minutes of a lecture on rhythm.

So why was she standing here, sweating slightly, so reluctant to ring the doorbell? Twenty nine, an associate pro...
I really don't know where to start with this but I have to get it off my chest or the stress will just go on. My husband is a military hardware contractor. We've been happily married for four years, and trust each other implicitly. His job entails a lot of travel, but that has never been a problem for me - until recently. We moved to Washington, D.C. a few...
The ringing of the phone jolted the images of Jolene from my mind. I fumbled for the remote and pressed the mute button silencing the buzzing fuzz noise of the snowy screen. “It’s 12:30, where are you?” my wife inquired. “I was just on my way out the door baby,” I lied. “Well hurry up. I’m at the Sea Cow on the board walk. I’ve been here for a half an h...
Macy Wilco and Stephi Collins were co-stars on the biggest show in TV The Throne Room. A medieval political drama where the two played sister princesses. Macy was a little younger then Stephi, 18 compared to her 20, but she had a much more notorious reputation. She liked to party, she liked men, she was always being photographed by the paparazzi with a new m...

Exhausted from the lack of sleep Claire hoped the coffee would give her a shot of wakefulness. She heard a door open, not sure whether it was Stacy's or Lance's, but the heavy steps down the stairs told her it was Lance. He came into the kitchen wearing a light blue button-down shirt, dark blue Dockers and Sperry topsiders. Captivated by his good looks she f...
