Lately I've been going through a really bad faze and when I say bad I mean horrific. Firstly, my boyfriend dumped me. I had no idea everything was not fine, I was totally convinced I had finally found love and then wham, he runs off with my sister. I guess I was wrong. Anyway, so there I am hart broken wondering how I'm going to get through the first family...
I hate my hometown. Some people say they are from a one horse town? Mine is a half ass village. I mean, technically it's a city, with a population of over 13 thousand. However, it's one of those cities where everyone knows everyone, is possibly related, and once a rumour starts you will never live it down. And here I am, back after 10 years away. Kids tod...
This is the second part of the crime and punishment saga. I intend to write this story before, after, and through the old story. My friend John did the original edit on this part a while back. It has gone through many revisions and edits since then. I'm sorry to see that some are not reading because they did not like how I resolved the last version. Sorry,...
This takes place in a year BMP - before mobile phone - so please don't ask why the various characters aren't texting each other. This story is based loosely on real events and all names have been changed Birthday I gently woke from a doze and stretched with a yawn. Suddenly I started fully awake. Where am I? This isn't my bedroom! I panicked as I looked ar...

It was 4:37 AM when Brandon crossed the street and arrived at the shopping center. The sky was dark, and the weather was bitingly cold, but nearly every parking space he passed was occupied. Thanksgiving had only just passed the day before, but as he ventured closer to the plaza, eerie Christmas music could be heard echoing up from the sidewalk from some wel...
Chapter 21 What About Bledsoe? When Shane got home from work one Monday several weeks later, she found that a package delivery company had left three boxes on the back porch, all for Carmen. She took the cartons inside and put them on the kitchen table. One box was round and looked like a hat box; Shane looked on the label and saw that it had come from a we...
Tamar had left my life but I couldn't get her out of my head. She was so different from any woman I had ever met before, so intelligent and capable. Tamar may have been still a teenager but she was far more mature than many older women I had known. What was it that gave this maturity to Tamar? Was it the Army or was it growing up and surviving in a harsh cli...
I awoke as sore as if I had worked out all night long. Every joint ached. Extra time in the shower was called for. I noticed with chagrin that there were faint red rope burns around my wrists and ankles. It wasn't until I emerged from the shower and saw my neck in the mirror that I seriously considered calling in sick. Hickeys? Really! How very high school....
((I'd like to thank a veritable cadre of friends who've inspired me to write again. This was started six years ago, rewritten twice from scratch, and nearly dumped into the recycle bin. It's been a long time coming, and I do hope you like it! As always, feedback is eagerly awaited!)) * Fiona Briette-Blue, a woman of medium height and stark white waist-leng...
