The small scout ship's landing gear slammed into the deckplating of the ISCS Venture, forcing Delphi's body against the tight restraints of her cockpit chair. With the Venture's landing guidance system dead, it had been up to her to guide her craft into the tiny port while travelling at several thousand kilometres per second, not an easy manoeuvre at all. Bu...
The electric car purred like a happy cat as Doctor Sasha Brett considered the irritating paradox inherent in getting funding from billionaires. He wanted to expand the reach of science to make the world a better, more full place. To do this, he needed money. Lots of it. And to get that money, he had reached out to the wealthiest people on the planet. But th...
Valentine's Day was a week away, and everyone thought Carlos was nearly over her. He thought he was nearly over her, too. Yet there he was, hiking up the overgrown trail at the back of Levy Park, up into the forest of tall old trees. He hiked for ten minutes, finally reaching the flat boulder next to that familiar crooked tree. He traced the heart he had car...
Receptions are not my favourite things in the world to attend. I don't mingle and 'rub elbows' like agents and sales people do. I usually end up at the bar drinking alone, looking at all the phoney people. I am a writer, a sports column writer more specifically. The magazine that I write for is one of the biggest national publications with a huge male reader...
I'd finally found a job I loved. I was working as a writer for the WWF. My entire day was filled with coming up with interesting storylines for the various wrestlers and their personas. I loved almost every minute of my day. And most of the people I worked with. The one dark spot in my day was Paul Levesque. Otherwise known as Triple H or Hunter Hearst Hel...
A couple of summers ago, Laurie decided to take golf lessons at a local “par 3” course. As she went out on her own to practice one day, she was paired with a slightly older gentleman named Lou. About 6’2” and 190 lbs, Lou had a full head of steel gray hair, cold blue eyes, and a smile that revealed perfectly capped teeth. He was a ‘retired’ business manager...
Prologue: Once again I like to remind everyone this is a continuous story presented in multiple parts so I recommend reading at least the preceding chapter (or part) prior to. As I explained before, each chapter usually starts where the last left off, but minus any background. Which the lack of could make the narrative difficult to follow, or understand. S...
Tracey looked over the bonnet of the Lansdowne Sprint as it sat on the podium at the Royal Annual Car Show. The gleaming bodywork reflected the many lights from around the hall where other companies had their latest products on display. Her eyes slid over the fine lines of the bright red car following them down the length of the body, before lingering on th...
I first see you from my hotel balcony. My eyes are first drawn to your beautiful face, but before long, they are drawn to your lovely curves. I can’t help but stare as you lie by the pool. Your reading some sort of magazine as you sun yourself. I can tell that you have already put some oil onto yourself, as your skin glistens in the sunlight. You have also b...
Introduction - I am unexpectedly bound to my boss At the time of these events which occurred late September, three summers ago, I had just turned 38 years old. I was (and still am) working in a law office in North Houston. Both of my sons had returned to college, so Jim and I were 'empty nesters' and had a little extra freedom around the house. To celebra...
