"It's still coming down! April is too late in the year for this nonsense," Dr. Crist whined, watching as a thick, white snow coated the ground. "Maybe if we hadn't been listening to podcasts all the way up, we'd have heard some weather warnings." "Global warming," sighed Dr. Beltz. "The seasons are all fucked up because of that..." Dr. Crist rolled his ey...
I look at myself in the mirror and I like what I see. Tall, slim and lithe with long auburn hair. A beautiful face, flawless complexion, green eyes and Cupid's bow lips. I gaze at my body from my pert, out-thrust breasts encased in the flimsy, salmon coloured bra, down past my slim waist to my hips. Narrow but not skinny. I am wearing a pair of sheer panti...
I. The Kalahari Plains were in truth no more than a vast, sun-scorched desert that lay between the ghoul haunted forest of Werewood to the west and the fertile river valleys of the Zanthar to the east. Here indeed was a place that Hathor, goddess spirit of nature, had long ago forsaken. Not a single living entity; bird, beast, or insect, made its home there...

I know, no one's more surprised than me that you didn't have to wait longer for this... :) Chapter 13 should be up next week. Thank you so much for all your comments and emails. You guys are great! Lily-x- * As they drove along in silence, Melissa found herself uncomfortably reminded of their first outing to the farm back in April. Had it only been months...
I hate him, I told myself. I hate him, I hate him, I hate him. Perhaps if I repeated it enough times in my head, it would suddenly become true. I tried to focus on all the bad things about the man who had robbed me of my sense for the past two weeks. He was overbearing, overconfident, and completely unnerving. How could I even consider being with someone lik...
It was apparent from the start that we had not rehearsed what we wanted to say to one another. It was more obvious that Julie didn't want to be there at all. I had not expected to be having this embarrassing opportunity to speak to her at this time. Nor, did Julie expect to be speaking to me. The conversation began rather slowly and tentatively as we "danced...
I am what in Sweden is called an "old lass" the daughter who had to stay home and take care of the old parents. Like so many others I ended up unmarried and had to find my outcome on my own. My eldest brother inherited the farm. I got a small cottage in the village, though. That summer of –53 I was in my late thirties, not old for being an old lass. I am no...
Rig was at her side, his mom and sisters following quickly behind him. "Call the clinic, let them know I'm bringing her in!" He directed over his shoulder as he knelt beside her. His hands hovered uncertainly, wanting to gather her up but afraid to do any more damage. He heard his mom on the phone, explaining that Georgia had fallen and was unconscious and...
She sighed and relaxed against him. There was nothing for it but to enjoy this for as long as it lasted. George's phone woke them about an hour later as they dozed on the couch. She twisted in his arms and grabbed it from the end table. "It's my sister." She explained apologetically. He pulled her more snugly against his body. "Let her know you're still...
