I really didn't know what it was when I trimmed my bread down to a few days' worth of stubble. Yes, it had been long, scruffy and rather silly. But had I been the beauty that people seemed to find the new me all along? All of a sudden I noticed heads turning for the first time in my life, even overheard a female friend commenting to another in the pub. "Yes...
Beth came home from work in her office the same time as always, around 6 p.m., and Jack, her husband was dutifully making dinner and tidying up around the house, having gotten out of work an hour or so before. Theirs was a happy, long marriage, both in their early 60s, their kids grown and gone, both athletic and active. Beth was a vivacious, charming 61, sh...
Your husband’s away on business and won’t be back for days. You are so horny while he is away you know you will not be able to last until he comes back and have to go and find yourself a young stud to satisfy your urgent feminine needs.

I don't know what draws me to the dining room window at the front of the house, but when I look out I see her—Amy—walking up the dirt drive from the county road, past my house, to her house farther up the mountain. Where has she been? She never goes out anymore. Someone must have given her a lift this far. Why didn't she ask me to take her? As always, I fee...
I cannot wait to see your smiling face again. I am sitting on the Greyhound, traveling to you as fast as I can amidst traffic and all I can do to stop myself from screaming at the other vehicles is to write to you. I want to write how much I've missed you, how much I've wanted to come see you. Do you have any idea how much I've wanted to spend time alone wit...
I was in Europe on a trip with the Youth Group. It was a church thing, but the cost was minimal and I’d convinced myself that where I’d failed with girls in the U.S., I’d succeed with European girls. So I went with the church people and saw the Catholic sights all around Europe. We saw the Vatican and even went to a High Mass. We went to all the French a...
It was early in the morning and I slowly trudged along to the nurses' office as I did every morning. It became a ritual I would walk in set my bag down and do odd jobs for her during the coarse of that first period. How was I to know that today would be any different? "Well good morning Manny!" said Mrs. Hayes the school nurse to me with a wide smile. "How...
-Will- Kori is taking the entire Lili is a psycho thing as well as she could considering. I'm looking over our timeline while Kori is reading 'I Am Legend' with Samantha, and they're making a lot more progress than I am. I have nothing to go off of. The only unexplained clues are the tube of chapstick and the hundred dollar bill. I don't have a thing on eit...
If you haven't read Chapters 1 and 2, I suggest that you do that before proceeding with this continuing story. * David was taking his time coming into the house. He was apparently giving Brad and I time to recover and get dressed before he came in. "What was going through his mind?" I wondered. I quickly got into my bikini and went out to the pool. When...
