*************** CHAPTER EIGHT I should have been a bit alarmed that we all had quite slept for nearly twelve hours straight, without anyone waking us once the needed information had been gathered, but it was quite accurate that we had all been quite dead on our feet last evening. Now, fairly well recovered from her ordeal, Bel had a bit more life in herself...
A builder built two spec houses planning to start a development that would have about a dozen houses. When he had those two houses built he went bankrupt. One had been sold but one remained empty for a while. When I moved to town and opened an account at a local bank one of the officers directed me to the empty house suggesting I might get a good deal on it....
Ok here's the new and improved version of Mattie's story. It's completely different from the original. I won't go into detail as to why I did this. All I'm asking is that you forget the other story line ever existed and I hopefully will never see the need to do something drastic like this again. There is no sex in this Chapter. It's slow to build so you ha...
"Closed! What the fuck...!" Aphrodite screamed as she stood in front of the small shabby restaurant across the way from Washington Square Park. Squinting her eyes, she felt her stomach drop as this final discovery was revealed to be another enormous disappointment, the latest of many she had had that day.

He switched on the windscreen wipers as heavy droplets began to fall, flashing brightly in the headlights as the truck climbed the road up the mountainside.

ONE: Jus Primae Noctis It was raining the night they met. The rain slick road seemed to roll on and on into the drab darkness punctuated only by the occasional flash of lightning and the reverberating grumbles of thunder. Mother Nature was a pissed off bitch with a score to settle and the world was her unfortunate scapegoat. The wild winds whistled around...
As a kid I was a looker, a watcher, interested in what goes on behind the closed door, what's in the locked box. When you're young everything is a mystery and any chance to penetrate those mysteries is a golden one. Every lighted window on a dark night is an invitation to the show. Most young people grow out of this. Some grow up to embrace it. Jamie and I...
