Beep. Beep. Beep. 'Damn alarm,' thought Joy as she hit the snooze button. 'Mountains are not even that far away, so why do I have to get up at such an ungodly hour?' complained Joy to herself. After dragging herself out of bed she got ready to have a shower. After having a steaming hot shower she felt a lot more awake. Right after getting dressed she heard...
Chapter 8 Emil carefully pulled into the barn. There wasn't a lot of clearance on for the truck, and there were sharp tools lining the walls. Last thing he needed was to damage his precious U-Haul. Turning to the slave he just purchased he considered her form. Her skin was flushed and taught from the cold, and she was shivering despite the emergency blanke...
The old man pulled another news paper page onto his body. Garrit was tall. The long bones made him a bit clumsy. Only thin muscles wrapped around his frame. The scuffed slacks and stained shirt draped him. He lied on the ground with packed pebbles -- black, gray, and white once. The spread out newspaper provided a little cover from the soft win and warmth fr...
It was a state of the art tanning and spa facility exclusively for women. Dana, the lead administrator, was frantically fumbling with her keys to open the salon. She was already 10 minutes late and all the massage therapists were looking at her and grumbling under their breath as she approached the office. This was not a good way to start the day, especially...

She decided to switch to night shift since she hadn't slept well since James died; she also decided not to work her shifts in a row thinking that it would be better for Jamie that way. The nights that she worked her parents watched him with James' pa...

Like many other Scandinavian families my wife, Johanna, our 7 year old son, Ken, 5 year old daughter, Moa and me, Glen Andersson, had a pleasant family night one recent Fri...
"Wow! You look amazing." "Oh, thank you. But we are going to the opera, you know." "Right. Hey, we better hurry or we're gonna be late." "Oh, jeez! No kidding. Let's get a move here. My mom will kill you if she misses the opening kick thingy." Justin Reese laughed out loud. He didn't want to, but he couldn't help it. Even after three years of marriage hi...
I leaned back in my chair and relaxed. It felt damned good to just kick back and think about our day. It was a hell of a day. My sweet little wife Serena and my beautiful daughter Molly and I had gone to Crystal River, A small fishing village about a two and a half hour drive from home. We went out on a charter boat and had a ball. I didn't fish much. I ju...
Note: This is High Fantasy story set in a different 'universe' than my normal stories. I originally wrote this in 2009. I cleaned a bit of it up, but it unfortunately it still has much of my old writing style/habits. I'm posting this now, because I haven't had much time to write new things lately. I've been working on a different project. But I do have an ho...
