Looking at a flat surface, you often just see the smooth reflection of light. If you take a different angle, you begin to see the scratches and imperfections. Life can make you shift your perspective. When that happens, new worlds appear. *** The first week in August was sacred in their individual calendars. Nothing was booked, no appointments set, no mee...
Thanks you to Estragon for always making my stories a much better read. Story could have been in a number of categories. DG * Chapter 1: I walked into the lounge to get a drink. It was only two in the afternoon but I just left my lawyer's office; I wanted a divorce. There were very few people in the lounge between lunch and dinner. Joe the bartender aske...
A big 'Thank You' to WanderingScot for taking the time to edit my story and make it a much better read. * Chapter 1 I was trying to think of a name for this story. It could have been, 'Getting Even', 'Retribution', 'Revenge', or even 'Getting Fucked By My Best Friend'. I decided that 'Retaliation' fit the bill. Then I had to decide on a category. It fits...
Callie wrote the check to pay for four rooms and tore it out of her checkbook before handing it to the woman behind the check-in counter. The woman looked at the check for a moment, but didn't say any words of thank you. She just pulled her receipt book forward and wrote the receipt, which she handed over without comment. Callie remembered the sour-faced wom...

To these lands came Gonad the Barbarian to lay the kingdoms and to w...
Chapter 13 On Sunday I went home to Mum's and had to rehearse what happened on Friday, and announce the lack of a wedding on Saturday. She deserved a full accounting after her sterling defence of me at the hotel. The members of the family who were assembled did not understand our delay in getting together again, and Mum, being ever practical, made a very pe...
Oh wow! I was totally blown away by the response to Chapter 1, and I have to thank everyone who took a moment to let me know how much they enjoyed it. Thanks so much everyone! Well I guess I have to post the rest of it now! I'll try to maintain a quick schedule, but I'll be honest and admit I've only written up to a certain point... I swear I'll finish thou...
Gerri was forty and had been chunky all of her life. Not really fat, but not anywhere near slim or in shape either. When her boyfriend of two years walked out a week before Christmas, she cried her eyes out. The next day was a bitch, as she had to work and get over a broken heart at the same time. At lunch, she suddenly pushed her double cheeseburger and fr...
