Tiffany and Ashley: the Case of the Hotel in the Wooded Hills "So Ashley, do you think this haunted hotel is actually, like, haunted?" Tiffany asked. "Ooh, I hope so! Don't want to drive all this way for nothing!" Ashley answered enthusiastically. "When are we supposed to be there?" Tiffany asked. "Hours ago, Tiff. But it doesn't really matter. It is a...
This tale was inspired by a young tumblr girl who exchanged a letter or two with me a couple of years ago. ***** I asked her to tell me something she had never told anyone else, and she replied: "Something I've never told anyone... hmmm, that's tough as I will find somebody to tell even about my secret stuff... Let's see... one night when I was out celebr...
The inn keeper looked slightly askance at the party before him. It was not that he didn't appreciate seeing a beautifully naked young woman or even that he didn't often deal with Royalty; for he immediately recognised a Prince of the Realm when he saw one. But a man dressed as a woman? That you didn't see every day. Gods be thanked, if this specimen was anyt...
Welcome back! Unfortunately, we're still sex-less, but I promise it'll be good when it gets here. I'm working on the story, I promise, and I'll upload more when I get it written. I had a bit of trouble writing this chapter, but I'm getting back in the groove of writing, so the next chapter shouldn't take so long to get out. Any comments you have are welcome....
~Prologue The quaint little town of Bristle-thorn sat, nestled between fertile hills, a pristine river brimming with enough fish to feed the town a dozen times over, and a forest so full of life it may as well have been another world. And, in this town with its one-story farm houses, cobblestone streets, and gentle-mannered people, Adelaide stood, wiping t...
Chapter 1 I had just finished my Plus 2 finals when my father informed me that I should go to Kerala to keep my Granny company. "Your uncle and aunty are going to Mumbai to attend his boss's son's wedding. They are taking their Anu and Sutha (my young cousins) with them also as a holiday sight seeing. They will be away for two weeks . Granny will be alone....
The next game was at home and was more like a mud bath than a rugby game. I giggled and nudged the coach, telling him, "I wished I was out there in all that mud, rolling around." He was in hysterics and replied he would see what he could arrange. It felt really good to be on good terms with him. Carl said he liked having me around; I'd brought the team clos...
Lilac bent back a branch to give herself enough room to pass. The woods had become thicker and it made her progress slow. She'd been on the move for over a week, trying to find a better place to roam. She was hungry, tired, and fed up with all these stupid branches in her way. The landscape ahead began to descend into a gully. The rocks here were light and...
Dakota Hastings boarded the bus and sat near the back. She hated riding the bus, but it was the only form of long-distance transportation she could afford to get back her parents' house. She knew she would be given the 'I told you so' lecture from her parents, but it didn't matter. They said she could come back and that was all that cared about her now. Dak...
Tom stood in the ankle-deep mud and stared in disbelief. The scene he beheld was right out of a post-apocalyptic nightmare. Dark brown mud, streaked with black from the fires further up the mountainside stretched up above him on the slope as far as the eye could see. The occasional rooftop or street sign broke the monotonous plain of mud. For the fifth time,...
