Over the next two weeks, Amy had her dreams of the mysterious man almost every night. She'd watched him as he'd occasionally interacted with animals and humans. Any contacts with humans were mostly peaceful, whether he'd been noticed or had sensed their proximity and had simply slipped by without being noticed at all. There was one where a group of men had t...
The sailor slipped over the side railing, letting the cool water claim his body again in his nightly ritual. The minute differences in temperature slipped and swirled around him as he moved silently away from the ship. Following the ribbon of moonlight on the water, he let his breathing slow and the rhythm of the sea take him. Soon, he was moving with powerf...
Miranda and best friend Jane wandered down the dark and abandoned lane together quietly giggling. Their weekend jaunts away from home, over the back fence and into the long flowing meadows of wheat and barley was their escape from the nurses uniform they were all too frequently dressed in and taken out of. The two friends skipped through the backstreets of t...
The three story-tellers stood at the prow, looking at the faces of the love-struck women, as they heard the story of Garreth and Therese. They couldn't help but feel they were telling a love story, the way they all sighed and moaned, at all the romance of it. They had made it to the tip of the western coast and came to Neist Point Lighthouse, perched atop...
Sly drove half of the morning just to get there meeting place. Sylvester calls himself Sly. He thinks of it as a cool nickname rather than an attitude but today he was acting out a fantasy. He felt like a private eye walking around the mall in her town looking for Jessie. They had been online friends for just over a year now and had only met the one time. Du...
"What do you think we should do for this years contest Lucy?" Kenzie asked. She was sitting cross legged in a difficult yoga position that made the thin fabric of her shorts strain to cover her panties. Lucy looked over and smiled at her beautiful friend. She was sitting on a tall chair with one of her legs dangling over top of another chair. It was a lazy...
Al Areth, the city of chaos. In more civilised lands it's name was whispered as a curse. The home of countless thieves, warlords and cutthroats, both human and inhuman. The city was ancient and sprawling with the desert at it's back and a vast sea surrounding it on three sides. From it's harbour pirate ships set sail to harry the shipping routes and raid coa...
Naylee, Wendy and Rafe had made good progress during the first day since they had gotten to know the island quite well during the years. Their route took them a little to the right from a direct route to the hill in front of them. They could jog parts of it and cover more distance and even continue for a while after it got dark thanks to Naylee's and Wendy's...
I walked into the crowded restaurant more than a little apprehensive. It had been several weeks since Matthew and I had seen one another - weeks fraught with tension and distance. It is not the distance of miles between us that had been the issue - although that in itself has been a challenge. No the distance that had erupted between us like a smoldering vol...
I know it's been a while, but I was overtaken by events and the desire to write is just coming back. I have several story stumps in progress so the next one should come without so long of a wait. This story was inspired by a recent visit to the cemetery where my son-in-law, who passed away last year suddenly at the age of 24, is interred. As I sat on one of...
