This is the ending that I had originally planned for the story Secrets and Lies before I decided to let you use your imaginations to provide your own ending. However, so much of the feedback requested closure of the story I have decided to flesh it out into something that I hope is worth reading. If you have not already read Secrets and Lies I suggest you do...
This is the opening chapter of School of Love, introducing the characters and the school. All students at the School of Love are over 18. **** I arrived in Lausanne, eager to take up my new post as a tutor at the exclusive École Château de l'Amour. All my interviews for the job had taken place in London, including a rather extensive medical. I was here an...
Kenji Sukiyaki's hands trembled as he pushed the doorbell to the Human Relations suite of offices. His knees trembled almost as badly as his arms. He felt great shame at what he had done. He was only a humble salaryman. How would he feed little Sashimi, Sake and Miso if he lost his job at the Yukio Mishima Corporation? The door was opened by an archetypical...
This is a continuation to the story "Starting Over", which was written several years ago. It was not just a stroke story, but had some more fleshed out characters. I've tried to get started on this sequel several times, but never got going on it. In Chapter 3 of Book II, Luke was found, Livy and Lily came over as Livy was having trouble sleeping after her o...
I posted the first two chapters before the first one was up and I saw the comments about the error in the cast of characters with the widow reference. Thanks for pointing that out. Also, I have to apologize to all the gun enthusiasts out there who pointed out that I didn't do the research on the operation of the Glock. I guess I'll have to fire my editor – o...
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Denny Wheeler for proofreading and editing major parts of this story and to JCX for helping me with the French and general proofing. Remaining errors, and there are probably plenty of them, are mine. I also express gratitude to my good-humored fellow travelers, whose only mistake was to accompany me on the trip...
**The last chapter chronicled the passage of a lovely human woman through the life of a lonely elf who waits for his love to return to him. It's been centuries. For the Elf aficionados, I'm only going by the rules "kinda-sorta", but if you need specifics, this poor guy is a type of Moon Elf. I'm just an uncultured heathen of a writer and I've never played D&...
The Master Tess needed a shower and I had to prepare some quick notes. Then I showered and dressed. I grab my bag and one of her coats and asked Tess to get moving. She quickly called the Lobby and asked the doorman for a cab to downtown. We chatted quietly as the elevator descended and I lightly kissed her. "I need to stop at my place. I can't enter the...
You wake to a throbbing pain striving to split your head in two. You reach across the bed for Fia but she's not there. You leap out of bed and hurry downstairs. There's a message waiting for you on the kitchen bench written on the Cantarella stationery. Darling, Something's come up at the office and I had to leave early. Sorry if I scared you! I'll be bac...
Many thanks to Techsan for editing this story. * It was a busy Saturday at the supermarket in our small Scandinavian town. Short of parking spaces at the supermarket as usual when my wife and I went there to shop. I did as usual; instead of driving around and searching, I stopped my Toyota Rav4 in a strategic place and when a space became empty, I usually...
