The second that Kate landed at JFK, she checked her phone to let Michael know she'd arrived. She was hoping that he'd quickly start planning their next night together. And he delivered, as he always did, on queue. "Thursday night of this week is looking promising. Are you staying in the city for work that evening, Kate?" Michael texted. She knew that this...
The old fisherman sat out at the end of the dilapidated dock in his lopsided deck chair. Though it was getting on toward evening the sun was nice and warm. He was fishing really light; a homemade bamboo pole and an old reel he maybe got before he had whiskers. Duck-taped it to the pole and wound it with ten pound test. Fishing flounder didn't take much gear....
There must be something inherently lucky about February 29--leap day. That's the day I went to get my hair cut by the gal Carla who's been cutting my hair for over a year. She does an excellent job and has an interesting personality, so I always wait for her. To tell you the truth, I originally selected her because she's good looking. Anyway, the place was...
“Did you want to see me Miss Smith?” I asked, putting my head round my bosses office door. I hoped it wasn’t important, it was the end of the day and I had a date with a six pack of beer in my fridge. “Ah, come in James” she motioned, “have a seat.” Her friendly demeanour was encouraging but being told to take a seat sounded like it may take a while and I j...
Addie awoke to strong gusts of wind and rain battering her two-story home. With horrendous sounding thunder in the distance, she rolled over and looked at the flashing digital clock. Seven in the morning was early for Addie who usually awoke at eight. As she lay unclothed under comfortable ivory sheets, her soft chestnut brown hair was beneath her head. Addi...

Joe inhaled deeply, savoring the crisp clean mountain air. His eyes absorbed the breathtaking panorama of the city and it’s pristine coastline with vast expanses of sandy white beaches. For as far as he could see, the magnificent countryside stretched, bursting with bountiful rivers and a unique flora system. He was overlooking an area considered to be one o...
I woke up first. Eric was curled up around me with one arm and leg thrown over my body. It seemed to me like he was trying to hold on to me, even in his sleep. How was I going to tell him that this was my last day of vacation. My flight was a red eye leaving late tonight and I had a nonrefundable ticket. We hadn't spoken of when the vacation ended or whether...
Let's see, where should I start? Brief description of yours truly, I guess. Goes something like this. Just an ‘ole biker type, 53 years old, a little over six foot, run around 185/190 dependin' on the weather. Got all my teeth, most of my hair that I keep pulled back and tied, a beard that hasn't been trimmed since 1985, and don't really give a good god dam...
This is a work of fiction. Any resemblance between the characters and real individuals is coincidence. All characters are over age eighteen. ***** The subconscious mind is a vast reservoir of hidden feelings. When finally revealed, they can be a rare gift. Free food. That's what brought Brent to the new hire welcome party. Otherwise, he wouldn't have bot...
