For the past 12 years I've spent every summer vacation on the same Greek island and often at the same hotel; 'The Caspian'. I've got an infamous reputation in the local village for bedding single girls. This reputation amuses the hotel staff. They've witnessed my failures and my success rate is a lot lower than those who live and work outside the hotel's ter...
I had no idea... How little did I notice, or even comprehend if this could be true. Let me fill you in a little... before you all get confused. My name is David, David Borthwick. I am 43, and I am the Department Manager for quite a well known Networking Department, I won't go into which one. Work lately had become a slight strain on both me and on my marr...
Carla smiled politely at the young concierge as she walked past him, she just caught him staring at her, on her way to another benefit dinner where her husband was the guest of honor. Carla was quite bored at going to these kinds of functions. She felt as though that she was merely being displayed by her husband as somewhat like a trophy or a conquest, and s...
"Jessica... so good to see you again." Harry took her hand and helped her out of the car, leaning down to press a warm kiss to her cheek. He inhaled her sweet fragrance, lilies of the valley. His wife had planted them all around the foundation of their house when they married. Elise was gone but the flowers continued to bloom every year, just when it was tim...
Our plane landed in the late afternoon on the island of Oahu. The long flight in no way decreased the excitement for our visiting the Hawaiian Islands for the first time. I read a lot about this archipelago in school. Sharon has never been there before either and is looking forward to the trip. To be honest, during the flight I was thinking a little about wh...
This is the next installment in the story of Sunny, a young lady I met over 25 years ago when I was a detective in New Jersey. Our relationship was almost totally sexual but I think of her often today with considerable affection. She was absolutely one of my favorites, though we haven't spoken in nearly 20 years. Here's to you, Sunny!!! Life in the detectiv...
A pit formed in my stomach. I felt like I had been punched. I stared in disbelief at what I had just read in the paper. Under the obituaries, it was all there: her name, her photo and the details of very full life. The memories came back. She was a part of my past; a good part. I reread her obit. I was alone on my back porch overlooking my garden of colorful...
I lived in an apartment on the third floor of a three-story apartment building on East Amelia Street in Orlando. At the time of this story, I had lived there for six years and liked it very much. The apartment was a large one bedroom and was located within walking distance from downtown. A couple who had managed the building since I moved in had recently mov...
"Whoa, what's this?" exclaimed Gary to himself as he was sorting the laundry for washing. He had retired early from his management position and had taken on the duties of "house husband" to fill his time. For the past month he had faithfully done the wash, including folding and delivering it to the various rooms of the members of the family. Until this load,...
This is another of my life stories, names are changed for obvious reasons, as I remember it many years ago. I was 48 and my 18 year old son lived at home with me as it was his last year of high school. Normally, I work an 8 am to 5 pm office job and visit clients periodically. I get home about 6 pm. My son, Steve, played football until he broke his arm so n...
