And all through the house, not a creature was stirring… especially not that bloody mouse. I’d got the little bugger just that morning with the frying pan. No longer would I have to endure his little squeaks of triumph as he barrelled across the floor, up onto the table and made off with a leg of lamb or a couple of kilos of cheese. He was now mouse pancake....
Sorry, no sex in this one. Maybe one of these days, but not today. A fly on the wall. That's all I wanted to be from the start. I was amazed that one lawyer allowed me to be a member of the jury, let alone two. I will never permit a lawyer on any jury in front of which I try a case. I explained that to the fellow members of my jury when they, sensibly, trie...
The bell rang and students began filing out of the classroom. Normally Naomi was one of the first out the door, eager to leave her creative writing class. Today she sat sulking at her desk, waiting for Mr. Alberts to finish up talking to Michael, his favorite student. 'This is so unfair!' she thought. The senior idly stared at the green slip of paper on her...
Thoughts of a man and his experience with a natural woman... *** "Just so you know in advance, I'm recording this," I told the man on the other end of the phone.

I'm just afraid that there isn't much to interest your readers," I responded. "We are successful because we make a s...
Sean Jameson was tired. More than that, he was exhausted. The freezing cold temperatures surrounding him made his bones ache and his teeth chatter, even through his heavy clothing. While no one had told him that scaling Mount Everest would be easy, he couldn't remember a single person telling him it'd be this excruciating. His friend Jonah, who completed h...
Dear Readers, Things continue to upset the packs and Stephanie is having a hard time of it. Enjoy, KemMyst ********* Randall called together his Betas for a meeting. And they discussed changes to procedures. Discussed the fact that none of the other packs had had an issue. It was, therefore, not a coordinated attack against their kind. Why them? Was...
Jace Goodwin was on his knees at the side of the bed praying to God. Praying that God would forgive him for the mortal sin that he was soon to commit. One that would more than likely earn him a place in Hell. Jace was a man who had reached the end of his rope. His life was in the shitter. No job, not even a prospect, no money and worst of all a life without...
Mrs. Swanson was in the process of interviewing for the position of part-time weekend housekeeper when Miss Bridgeway interrupted and announced that Sara Lee Morton and her daughter Ruth were at the door. Surprised and at the same time delighted Mrs. Swanson nearly leapt from her seat and rushed to the door. "Sara, dear, why didn't you tell me you were comi...
This is my first short story, constructive criticism is welcome. *** It was a gorgeous day. The sun was out, and a steady breeze blew inland off the ocean, cooling the red backs of sun bathing tourists. I had taken the doors off my Jeep, hoping a drive along the beach road would clear my head. My girlfriend Erin and I had broken up the previous night af...
