Standing over the body of Prince Khaled, General Abel raised his head to the heavens, arms wide and howled a cry of triumph which reverberated throughout the palace. Although not a large man, General Khaled had about him an air of quiet authority which hinted at ferocious inner strength. Five feet nine inches tall, slender and dark-skinned, clad in a suit of...
Loping through tall grass, the wind rippled over his soft thick curly fur. Greg ghosted through the meadow, his wide paws making almost no sound. A shadow of black with only the high sun to highlight the deep red that lies within as well. Golden eyes survey his surroundings. The day was perfect. The sky was bright and blue with only the sparse thin high clou...
Angie and I had been invited to Broadhey Hall. Something to do with her work, she said. I didn't fancy it myself, told her so. But she that it was essential for her to attend. And so that Saturday, we drove out there in my old MG, to an Elizabethan hall full of paintings and armour. A servant in tails met us at the door. He wanted to take my jacket but I wou...
Setting: It has been the night of the office Christmas party. All the staff members have had a fantastic time and have enjoyed both the free drink and each other. After the party, Lesley, the office manager has persuaded a group of the girls to head back to the office for one last drink from a secret stash she has hidden away. A number of the girls agree and...
The party had been winding down and honestly, I was getting bored. All the interesting people had moved on to the bars and only a few of my roommate's burnout hanger on buddies were still littering our living room. The music choices had gone south with this group too so I decided the record player on my nightstand and the joint in my drawer I rolled earlier...
This story brings back very special memories for me and is very personal, but before you say anything NO I or anyone I know have never been kidnapped or had a meeting with aliens or even believe they exist... it is all fictional. Emma Stott was a normal girl. Ok, so normal was the wrong word; brilliant would be a more accurate word to use. She was a walkin...
Cliff sat at the other end of the circular table outside the restaurant, and Tom toward Sydney's left. He ate almost methodically. The cucumbers and apples in his meal were picked out individually then sliced with some precision, as though he was portioning them. He ate each individual piece, never more than one at a time. He hadn't said much, other than a h...
"Joanie, what is taking you so long? I need to use the bathroom!" Joan's mother shouted through the locked door. "Just a second!" Joan hollered back irritably. She gritted her teeth as she attempted to extract the last part of the rosary from her rear. "What are you doing in there?" "Nothing!" Joan shouted. She needed to relax. If all of her muscles rema...
I rolled down my window as I drove through the warm summer night air. The fresh air felt wonderful but it did little to calm my nerves as I drove along the darkened road. I was torn by my desire to see him again and my fear of what he would do to me this time. The little butterflies in my stomach were working overtime now as I knew I was only minutes away fr...
I pushed the shop door open. A small bell jingled my arrival. I looked around the strange shop fearfully. Was I ready for this? Nobody was behind the counter, a reprieve. I was about to open the door again and let myself out when a Chinese man appeared from the back wearing a medical style white coat. I took a deep breath and told him what I was there for....
