The darkness of the Brazilian night accepted Laura like a welcoming friend. Slipping through the shadows she made her way swiftly through the back streets. She was approaching her destination when a sound ahead stopped her. A soft pattering noise was coming from the alleyway ahead. With a smile on her face hidden beneath her face mask Laura stealthily approa...
Showing in France The problem was I had not gotten laid in seven years. Then it happened just before I was leaving on a month long trip to France. A one shot deal with a guy I had been teasing for quite some time. The thing about me is I can go without and have had a few dry spells in my life, but give me a little and I want a lot. My journey though France...
Annibale awoke the next morning with the sun pouring into his window. He always slept late when he was on shore leave, which his circadian rhythm had apparently decided this qualified as. Upon dressing and performing his morning ablutions, he left his room to find the house very quiet. Either his peculiar hosts were still asleep, or they had already gone out...
The next few days passed without major incidents. Sigrid kicked him out of bed every morning and dragged him to class. He took both Introduction to Geomancy and Introduction to Pyromancy in parallel. Jarl had never liked studying and unfortunately the College was no different. There were some interesting moments when the Masters demonstrated magic, but most...

You're leaving so soon it's only 7 am" I asked. "Wake up sleepy pants! Today is the my annual day!" she said. It was her annual day. Her company's annual day actu...
There are times I wish a moment could last forever. An early morning dreary, we—Jerry and I were standing, facing each other, in the middle of an area enclosed by an eight foot fence. My hands rested on his forearms; his hands supported mine. It was like the day we were married -- nothing elaborate -- a simple late afternoon ceremony in a bar next to a store...
My wife Linda and I have always played the lottery. We never expected to win, but we would often spend time talking about what we would do with the winnings. When it finally happened, it caught us by surprise and the shock lasted for several days. We held the only winning ticket to a $342 million jackpot. After taxes and taking the lump sum we cleared just o...

I sit on the sofa at ten till six. I practiced self-care throughout the day—ate well, meditated, played piano, practiced yoga and journaled. In short, I kept myself busy while waiting for Mariano. My intention has been to tap into my core strength and stay connected to my needs, but he is insidious. He has taken over my consciousness, again. I dressed in a s...
It was on the first morning of the fourth week since Luc's coming that the villagers of Mont Clare noticed a small plume of smoke rising on the hill which overlooked the village from the east, near the road to the cathedral. Young Henrietta was sent to investigate, being the fleetest and most fearless, and reported back that the young knight had returned set...
