This is my third installment on my first submission. I hope you enjoy. ********** Eddy, the owner of the glass supply store, was beaming as I handed over my credit card. In all, I felt pretty good about dropping only six grand to get me started. I had two weeks before I was going to take off for two week long classes in the upper northwest. I figured that...
It was a bit of a surprise that I found myself childless and divorced at the age of forty-five. I knew that my children would eventually flee the family nest, but I expected that my husband John would be with me forever. But a year and a bit after our eldest daughter left, John left too. It had been a good marriage with many years of fine times. I guess with...
Selene was a high school senior, freshly turned eighteen, gorgeous as any Hollywood "It" girl, not quite a social outcast, but definitely not a member of the "in" crowd. Peter – Mr. Sohn – was the new English and creative writing teacher, just out of college, every girls ideal kind of man and smarter than a lot of his college professors. He considered the hi...
Many thanks to Techsan for his editing of this story. * I, known as The Jailbird, was a famous man in our small Scandinavian town. I was sure that people envied me because I had dared to do what many of them probably had only dreamed about.

Chapter 2: Brianna 11 Years Ago During the previous four years, much had happened in the life of Tyler McGhee. He had been accepted to Stanford University and awarded a full academic scholarship. Although he had always been an excellent student, his performance on the SAT exam demonstrated just how remarkable his academic abilities were. Dedicating his col...
All characters are eighteen years or older. This chapter is void of sex because this is when Tom and Christina meet and for realism's sake, they shouldn't be sexually active right off the bat. If you're looking for sex, you might want to go back to the first three chapters, but if you skip this one, you'll miss some of the storyline and plot. I'd like to...
