The 18-year-old black girl seemed to be intrigued, yet amused by the 37-year-old southern-belle who remained on one knee before her. It was apparent that she had noticed Terry looking over towards us from the waitress' station for several minutes earlier. In some sort of strange way it seemed as if Alexis Barron was testing her. "How long have you been a w...
The throats of the orange-red flowers seemed to swell as they drank greedily of the sunlight's golden sweetness. My eyes tracked a couple of bees flirting from blossom to blossom, slipping deep down the flowers throats to gather that sweetness for themselves, only to emerge seconds later, launching back into the air in search of the next source of nectar....
Author's note: The US actually did shut down one of its code breaking ventures because, according to then US Secretary of State Henry L. Stimson. "Gentlemen do not read each other's mail." Also, as is becoming my mantra, yes, I am taking liberties with historical figures, and British titles and addresses are slightly different from there to here. So with tha...
The sun is out and shining on this bright Spring morning as you arrive at your favorite new local establishment for a morning coffee and some much needed relief before the work day begins.

Janey was taking a break from her shopping when she first saw him. He was tall, dark and handsome, of course, why else would she have noticed? She was sitting at a sidewalk table of the local cafe, deciding where next to spend Arnold's hard earned cash when he sat at the next table, perfect jeans moulded to his perfect arse, eyes tantalisingly hidden behind...

On the spice laden breeze drifted snatches of conversation in a dozen languages, most of them unfamiliar to Kyle but he found the rhythm of the strange words oddly relaxing. As he took a slip of the...
My wife and I met when we were in junior high. We lived in different towns that were right next to each other. When we were in high school we started dating and eventually we married. While in high school, we usually double dated with her best friend Heidi and her boyfriend. My wife and Heidi were a complete contrast in looks. My wife is a blonde, fair ski...
*** Hi! Welcome to the SECOND installment of CROSSING MOON Don't forget to VOTE and COMMENT!! Jayleen *** From Aveline Erickana Ruben's diary: 25th September 2008, 8.30 PM, somewhere in the sky. Currently listening to: "Here With Me - Dido" (through the airplane's headphone) I wish Alven would just move his big butt and let me have the stupid window...
The wheels of a giant 747 screeched onto the runway of JFK airport. The airplane taxied to terminal 21 and Mark Simmons left the airplane and tried to find the exit. This in a airport is easier said than done. He asked a porter and he was sent the correct way. Mark Simmons was twenty-seven years old, he had brown hair and of a slightly stocky build. He wore...
I made it to Sextopia by accident. I was sailing around the world when I hit a rough storm and my boat washed ashore on this magical island. I rode the storm out inside of my boat and once it had passed, I wondered into town to look for help fixing my boat. But within seconds, I had forgotten all about my little boat. The first sign I got that this place w...
