At work on Friday, it went without saying that we would be going to the bar again, so Sandy and I hardly spoke, tacitly having agreed to downplay our relationship at work. But late in the afternoon, she called and told me that Vivienne had rung to tell her that she had to substitute for someone on a domestic flight, and then asked softly: "If you want to, I...
Sadie licked the last of Miss Maple's envelopes. "Are you done, dear." Miss Maple, a six foot two Jamaican woman and Sadie's typing teacher asked her. "Yes, Miss Maple. I really appreciate you giving me the work." Sadie said gratefully. Money was tight, and she didn't want to work part-time and screw up her business college scholarship. Miss Maple had neve...
I taught Communications in a large, state university for 25 years and my wife taught in the School of Nursing for 20. A couple of years ago we retired in our 50's with comfortable pensions. Upon retiring, we moved to a community that was occupied, for the most part, with folks, many retired and most about our age, close enough to the university that I can...
"So she's here already?" Bill asked as he stared at his uncle's house. "MMMMMMMM" "For the rest of the weekend?" he continued. "MMMMMMMM" "She's expecting me?" "NNNNNNNNNN" "Oh, that's fine I guess. Probably won't change things. She got divorced?" "NNNNNNNNN" Bill stopped asking questions as his balls started squeezing rapidly, preparing to release a...
This is a tale about fantasies involving the past and the mysterious creatures in the forest, who roamed the ranges of a sparsely populated region. The myths about wolves and werewolves are always linked to the shadowy forests. The historical background of the German nation building and the drive for wolf extinction is following facts rather closely. *****...
Big thanks, as ever, to goddess9991 for her editing. If I sound like I read at above a 6th-grade level, it's all her doing. A note to those who know the US Navy: I edited all petty officer initials into the generic "PO" so there's no job-specific info, changed the location of the story, and obviously changed all names or just used first names. So if by some...
The Long Pull: Wankin' In A Winter Wonderland An XXX-Mas Carol by D. (Thanks to a helpful German reader for correcting my German!) * Cindy didn't think anything could get her out of her bed right now. Her last final had just wrapped up less than an hour ago. She was nearly late to it because she had to turn in a ten-page paper to a different professor b...
Some kids get to be apprenticed in the sorcery business by going to a posh school -- others have to do it the hard way. But then again, there are games you can play in a dragon's riding net which are a bloody sight more interesting than chasing a winged ball on a broomstick . . . ----------------------------------------------- The early morning sun shone...
All characters are over the age of 21. ***** I was new to the talent industry. My background in business and office management was strong, but I was completely clueless when it came to the entertainment field. When my new boss suggested I attend a public talent search, I jumped at the chance. Of course, it meant being out of town over the weekend, and beca...
Author's note: This is the final installment of book two. There will be a wedding in book three. I promise. Chapter 14 -- Shift Change Interlude: 25th Anniversary Cindy: After the party, getting home was evidently not easy. I do not think anyone was drunk, but for some reason Mom was not up to driving. This was a problem, since she had early appointments...
