Your name is Jack Sinner, you're a 47-year old man who owns an old-fashioned laundromat in a quiet, slow-paced part of the city. It was a family business that you've inherited for two years now. Before, you were working a standard office job with unfulfilling hours and comparing that to your current job, you could say you're semi-retired. You live right next...
[OnTheJob story event] "Why is it that the washers are all idle, with clothes in them, every time I come in here?" Nicole said. "Anyone?" she called out to the room at large. "Anybody? Are these your clothes?" "Anyone" didn't answer. Neither did "anybody." So, with an exaggerated sigh, twenty-five-year old, pleasantly plump bleach blonde, married, with thr...
Dear Readers, Firstly, let me apologize for the length it took for me to get this story finally finished. Despite having it all mapped out, I amazingly surprise myself with how wordy I am (one would think I would learn, but alas...) And secondly let me thank everyone who stuck with this story and continually offered encouragement and critiques that helped s...
Sorry that this second installment took me so long to complete, but I had several things going on in my life lately with a new job and a move to a different State..... Hope you enjoy Chapter 2. I am Writing this story as a mini-series. There is quite a bit to tell of the year that I was in Korea. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ CHAPTER 2 - In which I arr...
Although I appreciate the weather in Thailand, I was somehow enticed up to Seoul by a Korean network exec of a rather obscure television network, a Mr. Lee (not his real name [and of course this is completely fictional anyways]). He wanted me to make some interesting historical dramas with sexual themes. A recent Korean supreme court ruling had paved the way...
READERS PLEASE NOTE: This is the 'prologue' for a series I am beginning work on, and I would really appreciate your FEEDBACK on the concept of the story. It is very loosely based on some personal experiences; but with a lot of fantasy added to spice things up. Hope you enjoy, and let me know -- even anonymous comments are welcome. This is a work of fiction,...
Several years ago I worked as a sales representative for a company that did a lot of business in Asia. In particular, I traveled to Korea on a fairly regular basis and had a number of good clients in Seoul and other cities. My favorite aspect of these long business trips was flying with Seoul Air. I had heard of them and their great service before, but not...
It had been a long, horrible day. It seemed like the whole world had decided to call upon her to rectify their problems. One complaint after another, the phone didn’t stop ringing once. But now, she was free. Her boss had finally allowed her to close up her office for the weekend. Not a moment too soon either, although she did regret not bringing a warmer ja...
LXXIIIvory Towers Alex2034 It was several weeks since Alex had last travelled outside of London. As always the exorbitant cost was covered by business expenses, although this time there was no flight across the Atlantic or toward the Far East. A train ride north from Paddington to the University City of Oxford, even first class, wasn't quite the work junket...
I was riding the subway across Seoul when I noticed this strait-laced older woman across the train sitting upright with her back arched and chin up. She was middle-aged and prim. Her blouse collar went all the way to the neck, like she was a 1660 Puritan. Her mind had to be all hopped up on Confucianism. She sat upright even as the subway car shook. Me? I wa...
