Authors note: This is my Halloween contest entry. It is not spooky or scary or a typical Halloween story in anyway. I will admit it's a little poignant and sad but I hope you enjoy it regardless. Thank you again to RK Moreland for helping with the copy editing, and BrambleThorn whose wisdom really helped when I became bit lost. You are both much appreciated....
With Jim out of town and Dave and Stacy busy with other friends Christy didn't have anything planned for the weekend she decided to spend the day tending to the yard. Since she would be in the yard all day she wasn't too concerned about getting all made up. After showering and grabbing a jog bra, an old tee shirt, and a pair of jogging shorts she got dressed...
A small romance about two people destined to meet, but who keep just missing each other. A memorable day, a beautiful woman, and an ugly scar, who could ask for more? Enjoy. Jb7 Tricia Jared Wilkins, 34, was more or less satisfied with his life. He had a career he liked, was good at, and paid well, for now. He was, from his point of view, successfully bala...
Flight Day! I felt something pull out between my thighs and then Eric moved away from me. The bed began to shake and then he got out of bed and made his way 'naked' to the bathroom. His thin yet muscular body caught my attention... he was still in great shape. He entered the bathroom and disappeared from sight, I heard the water turn on, and heard the water...
Welcome to Simplicity. This story of three couples is a work of fiction. Like all great fiction, it's based in fact. To those who might think they recognize themselves in the story, it's not you. To those who might think they know where to find Simplicity, it's not there. But it might be close by. Copyright © 2010. All rights reserved. Chapter 1, Scene 1...
Sharon had been afraid that day in the shower. She was afraid when she made the appointment. Doctor Chin's cold hands had poked and squeezed, and brought to mind her manner of selecting a ripe tomato from its siblings in a grocery display. The monotone explanation and discussion did nothing but fan the flames that licked at her sanity into a raging inferno o...
Chapter 26 EvidenceCarmen's cell phone jolted awake playing A Mi Manera by the Gypsy Kings, bringing her out of a sound sleep. Groggily she reached to the nightstand for it, saw that the call was from Lauren, and that it was 5:30 a.m. "What is it? What's wrong?" she asked, panicked. "Nothing, it's okay, I'm sorry to scare you. There's nothing wrong." "Jes...
Thanks to SaneManiax for editing this particular installment. Ahem, so now, we head back inside the stark building known as Meretrix Hills Asylum. It's another hallway. This one extremely dank, and the definite look of a seldom travelled or even cleaned passage. We find Laura, hurrying down the hall in heels that are certainly beyond the regulations of foot...
Chapter One It was a Friday afternoon that seemed of little consequence. I got up, shaved, cleaned and pampered my body. After my underwear was in place I wore my usual boots, boot socks, jeans and a plaid shirt. The bar at Fulton Street was busy that afternoon when I arrived about 2:00 and everybody including Lori (the owner) seemed glad to see me. Joe and...
[It occurred to me that I never finished this part of the story. This is part two, but if you read it first, you will catch up on the characters. The places are all real, but the characters are fictional, and the timeline is a combination of errors and outright lies. The bits of this that actually happened are pretty thin.] Kyle was about the shortest gu...
