The ship renovations exceeded my expectations and were more than adequate for our task at hand. With all of the new technology, the former crew requirement of over twenty people was reduced to a core of eight. We hired a Captain, an experienced pair of mates, a Chief Engineer and his assistant, a radio/radar tech, and two crewman/deckhands. The crew was most...
I had always been in love with Mia. She grew up just a few doors down from me. We went to the same schools, lived on the same street, had the same friends. Even our moms were best friends. Then she met Eddie. Ninth grade, first week of school. He had moved to Brooklyn from the Bronx. He was a tough guy, proved it the first day. Took out three mooks, that w...
Ninety-year-old Rhys Shaftesbury still found himself breaking into tears at thoughts or mention of his wife, Gail, two weeks after her death. They'd had a wonderful, passionate life together, but cancer finally struck her frail body down at the age of eighty-five. For the past fortnight, condolences and sympathies from colleagues, friends, and acquaintances...
The Interview Project Part Three: Meg's Story "My passions control me. I don't really control my passions."- Meg The third choice was obvious but I made it tougher. I have a friend named Meg who has followed and occasionally inspired my writing career. Sometimes, she confided her secrets in me so I knew that she was sexually active. I also knew that I woul...
Hello! So, Dindi is back (and for the last time!) I don't do this, come back with a story once I'm done with it, but I received A LOT of requests for a Dindi epilogue, so here it is. Specially for you who asked for it. I'm working on my current story, though my time is much shorter now my Summer break is over. I'll finish that as soon as I'm able. In the...
Yes, it's an epilogue to 'Anything for You', eighteen months after I submitted what I thought was the final chapter. :) But having re-read this story for myself recently, it became blindingly obvious that many of you were right to tell me it needed an epilogue! Plus - and I'll hope you'll forgive the self-indulgence of it all - I'm hoping writing this will p...
All persons engaged in sexual activity in this story, are over 18 years of age. It is certainly worth reading CH1 and CH2 first to understand her character, but there are probably enough references to them in CH3 to make it a stand-alone story if you wish. As in previous chapters, this is the background to the time and place. This story is based on real...
Author's note: there is an element of truth to this story. As a trucker I have stopped many times to help stranded motorists. Those relief efforts were pretty mundane but what if?...Also, this story could have gone into several categories, but the virulence of the loving wives readers was too much fun to pass up! As always, I'm doing this for fun. I've never...
I have known Edith almost all my life and for as long as I've known her she hadn't liked me. It started in the first grade when she accused me of pulling her pigtails. The teacher stood me in the corner for ten minutes despite my protests that I hadn't done it. Then, to add insult to injury Edith stuck her tongue out at me when I left the corner to go back t...
Author's Note: In case it's not obvious by the end of this, I do have plans to create a proper sequel to Autus, but it won't happen for quite some time. I have several other projects that have been neglected in recent weeks/months. Without further ado, enjoy. ***** Kona's Journal Entry #1: Well, since Gwen and Diana are writing, I figured; why not? I coul...
