The sea seem to calm his troubled mind, the caressing sounds of the water slipping in and out from shore soothed away Jason troubled thoughts. Lying on the sandy beach, eyes closed and hands resting behind his head, he could feel the cool water touch his feet briefly and then make its escape back to the sea. As the water touched him, a fluttering image of a...
This is my first story that I've been working on for a while and hopefully I'll have the second part out soon if all goes well. Comments and reviews are welcome. ***** The sun shone on the pristine white sandy beach as the gentle waves carried a lifeboat gently to the shore. The sole occupant was awoken when the keel of the boat touched land. Tom had lost...
This is a part of an ongoing series - if you find yourself here without reading the previously chapters, I highly recommend going and catching up. We'll still be here when you get back :) So it's looking like we'll be moving to a two week schedule, rather than a weekly one. I hope that won't lose me any of you - I'm just struggling to keep up writing this w...
Rekha was literally shocked reading the email from the new client. She decided to let her body decide if she wanted to go ahead with this client or not. She contemplated his request over and over again. The more she contemplated, the more color rushed up her cheek. It was finalised that she was going to take the new job. After all she was always a game for a...
The sky was blue with clouds gently rolling across it, the breeze a steady 6 knots and the sea calm with the wind rippling the water. Today was the day I had waited for, for so long. My sailing companion arrived, Deb dressed in jeans, trainers a wind proof spray jacket. She put on her life jacket, climbing into the yacht she settled comfortably into the co...
This is part of an ongoing series - if you find yourself here, confused, head on back and read from the beginning. I promise we'll still be here when you get back :) Whoohoo, double digits! Thanks to everyone who's made it this far with me; this story wouldn't be here without the support of everyone who has left comments, or sent feedback, or rated. Honestl...
My blood feels the pull of the full moon tide. It's been too long since I've been away from the ocean. Work, family, everyday life, I let it overwhelm me and I begin to loose my sense of self. What do I want? What do I need? The questions bounce around the inside of my head like John Bonham's sticks on the crash cymbal. Hmmm, I don't remember adding "Dazed a...
You awaken to the sounds of war, 12th century war. Swords clash. Men cry out. You tremble. You look around. It is not your bedroom. These are not your clothes. You are dressed in a rough woven dress right out of a movie. That's it. You are just having a vivid dream. This is just your mind's sequel to the Singing Sword, that silly movie you watched to...
Chapter 1: Crossing Tides "Mother... Father... I hope you are resting well beneath the ocean waves..." Marc tossed the bundle of flowers as hard as he could, his strong lean body easily hurling it over the waves crashing loudly against the rocks. His dazzling ocean blue eyes followed it until it plunged into the ocean, the weight of the rock tied to them pu...
Rob Sommers was sailing around the point when his boat sank. It was the last day he'd have expected an accident like this to happen. A warm sun was rising up into the sky. A gentle breeze carried the scent of sea from the east. The blue waters were as flat as a piece of glass. Seagulls flew overhead in search of early morning snacks. Then his boat sank. Jus...
