It was a good thing that she was tied up when she spotted Mr. Hughes enter the dining room late in the afternoon. Otherwise, she would have clawed his damned eyes right out of his ethereal skull. Her eyes burned with her anger, and she ached, her whole body was one big ball of ache now that she'd been left this way all day. The men and women at the table had...
Julia Redmon lived in New York City with her mother in a one bedroom loft. Her mother moved them out there from a small town in Alabama when she was 12 years old. Her mother wanted Julia to get a better education and better opportunities later in life and thought New York was the best place to provide that. Mrs. Redmon, Julia's mother, had saved up enough...
Rachel was excited. It was the first day of her clinical training. The first two years of nursing school was all classroom instruction and no had direct patient care. Instruction on anatomy, chemistry, psychology and some medical treatments was all she was familiar. She was desperate to work directly with the patients. She and her classmates were going to...
Chapter 02. A better view in the yard: After work on Friday, Roslyn pulled into her long driveway and saw Mr. Wilbur's car and him standing beside what seemed to Roslyn to be a small amount of lumber. She got out of her car, and said, "Hi Mr. Wilbur. I see the lumber arrived. Is that all there is?" "Good afternoon, lovely lady," he said, as he smiled and c...
Shit! I glanced at my watch, as I urged the elevator onward to the tenth floor. The time was 755 AM. I should be at my desk already. If nobody wanted to get on at the other floors, I might be able to get there before my boss noticed I wasn't there yet. Shit, come on! I swear, this is all my boyfriend's fault. He wanted to make love this morning. No, he...
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...
Cheryl Thomson arrived at Sherman High School in Potoxy, GA to begin her new teaching job. She was very excited to get this opportunity. While her husband Rob earned enough money so that she didn't need to work, she had gone back to school to get a masters degree in education and wanted to use it now that she finally finished the program. Rob was a trader an...
I didn't fully understand Bobby, but I guess that was probably true of most people that knew him. He was a sullen, silent type that only spoke after careful deliberation. He wasn't worried about people's feelings. In fact, he didn't care much about anyone other than himself and his immediate family members. He didn't really love me the way I wished that he w...
"Mr. McNaught...why do I have to be here? Like seriously, I'm not disruptive or even crazy or anything." Annie Scoffed. Don McNaught eyed the hot looking student sitting across the desk from him, "Annie, you know why you're here. Your mother thinks it would be best you seek after-school counseling, and I think so too." "Just because of the fight with Jenna...
Bill and I are having a hard time right now making the bills. I knew for the sake of both of our sanity that I would have to get a job so I could help pay the pressing bills. The problem all started over a year ago when Bill decided that we needed a new car. If he had bought one we could afford, well we would not be in this mess. No, he had to buy a big new...
