Once again as the paramedics unloaded her, she moaned as she was moved. She looked over at me and said "My insurance card and ID is in the 2nd pocket of my wallet inside my purse." I took the wallet out and gave her a reassuring smile. We were taken into the triage area of the ER where Kelly was unstrapped from the stretcher and transferred onto a gurney....
Nohair - the Play I had just seconds to ponder how we got here and if I still wanted us to be here. She looked at me quizzically for a last-minute answer. Her nervous smile said she wanted this excuse to get naked in public. I squeezed her hand and whispered, "OK. Go for it." Naked female cast tapped men and pulled them onto the stage, still dressed. Naked...
Chapter 24 - Decent into Darkness Never does a star's light grace this land nor does the sun send to here its rays of warmth and life; this is the Underdark. The secret world beneath the bustling surface of Faerûn, where the sky is a ceiling of heartless stone and where walls show the gray blindness of death in the torchlight of the foolish surface dwellers...
I fish because I love to because I love the environs where trout are found which are invariably beautiful; because , my fishing is at once an endless source of delight and an act of small rebellion; because only in the woods can I find solitude without loneliness; because bourbon out of an old tin cup always tastes better out there; because maybe one day I w...
"Take Lunch" Two years of Community College Musical Theatre and an introduction through her uncle's neighbor had landed Suzy where she was. And she guessed that there were worse places to be. With that thought, she smiled from ear to ear and 'brightened' her eyes as she began kicking her white sneakers joyfully to the rhythm of the same piece of music that...
Dear Readers, Sorry for the delay - I'm still learning how to do all this and got ahead of myself. I had to rewrite a lot of this section so it took longer than I expected. Last chapter will be posted with this one. ***** Emmett carries Lyssa's limp body from the basement, out the side door, and to the waiting car. He gets in and Lyssa is passed to him...
Chapter 1 – Flat Tire Chapter 2 - Help No one heard me. Is it possible? The house is so close. I shouted again. What I am going to do now? Could I have broken my ankle? Such things do happen, but why to me? I unbuckled the strap and gently touched the swelling. It was bigger than before. I took off the shoe and cautiously moved my ankle. More pain. Should...
We took a few seconds trying to decide the best way to get her situated in the back seat of the SUV. Kelly slid into the backseat while I stabilized her leg and then she pulled her leg in as she sat across the massive back seat of the SUV. I slid in the passenger seat as our driver started the engine. I turned my body towards her and said "We'll have a whee...
Chapter 1 – Crash-landing The pilot turned back and smirked at Paula and Noel. "How are you girls?" he asked. "It's getting boring," Paula replied and slumped into her seat. Noel hemmed, then took out a comb and brushed her curly brown hair. The little Cessna rocked slightly and tilted. The pilot studied the dials. The engine started to whir louder. "...
I was to marry on Saturday week and didn't want a stag night. The very idea of getting blindingly drunk with a loud, raucous bunch of mates unpalatable. I told my best man it wasn't required and to say nothing to my fiancé, Lily. Over the years I made many girlfriends and still secretly saw them on a platonic basis. I preferred their company to guys. One ni...
