Any and all comments are wanted. *********** Tina's head was reeling, HOW did she get her sister and cousins down to Memory Base and not have to explain to Mich and everyone at Stallion Acres and get it done before Brianna's birthday was over. "We are here mistress." Susan Bartholomew McGregar zero zero zero three said as it guided its truck up the drive...
Prologue: I was twenty-four years old and soon my life would change forever. I studied the interactive display that loomed before me. The vividness of the whole brought to mind an innocent childhood memory of a beautiful painting I had seen once upon a time: a depiction of a young girl extending her hand to touch the face of a fallen Knight. It seemed she o...
Concentration of wealth had reached a tipping point. The computer revolution, world wide information sharing, and overpopulation were all part of it. In the developed countries unemployment reached forty percent. Seventy percent of the employed did not make enough to live on and depended on government aid. Every government was in deep debt. The one percent...
They were ganging up on me again. Though to be fair, this was not a new experience and I should have been used to it by now and found a way to cope. Maybe, I was just too damaged by what happened when my daughter was conceived? The other option was that this was the natural way of things when a man was surrounded by women all the same age as his own daughter...
The car slid backwards and into a tight turn as soon as I was clear, reversed and headed down the street the way we had come. I watched it go with a heaviness in the pit of my stomach. I felt like I had forgotten something, and quickly realized it was because most of my pockets were empty. My phone and car keys had been confiscated and destroyed within minut...

One single city block had more people in its radius than Na had ever seen in her entire life, coming from a small rice farming village in Nowhere, Nakhon Phanom... Bangkok, Krung...
"The weekend starts here!" Was how Jools Holland introduced the music programme The Tube at 6pm every Friday night in the early 1980's. But when did last weekend begin? When I left Jens house wearing tiny tartan miniskirt and a new pair of black fishnet stockings? When I kissed my husband goodbye before I drove to Jens house? When I hid the sports bag cont...
Tiffany arrived at the office early. The parking spots on the second floor parking were mostly empty, so she took a spot closer to the elevator so that night she could slip out without being detected. She couldn't use first floor because that was saved for upper management, and to prevent herself from already getting in as much trouble as possible she decide...
They woke up to sunshine and blue skies with wisps of white cloud dotted around. After working out in the fitness room for half an hour on various instruments of torture, they enjoyed a good breakfast, mainly consisting of fruit. "Much better for us than eggs and bacon." Kate sat back with a satisfied sigh. "Um." Rachel was still finishing off an orange....
Please feel free to leave a public comment, email or vote. Feedback always appreciated, positive or otherwise. ********************* I was shocked: completely gobsmacked, but I guess I asked for it. We were sitting in a little local restaurant and I was teasing Alana, my wife of 20 years, about what I had planned for our upcoming wedding anniversary. I...
