The incident at the Japanese bathhouse. Was it only yesterday? If I live to be one hundred the memory of it will be burned into my brain as vivid as it is at this moment. First of all, the bathhouse. I had been more than a little relieved when, after making a few discrete inquiries, I had discovered that many of the more lurid stories I had read were, at th...
Once upon a time there was a beautiful maiden. She was the most beautiful girl in all the land. Her hair was spun gold, her eyes were like happy dancing violets, her rosy lips were plump and her body was that of a siren. She was happy and graceful and kind. She lived in a land ruled by an evil queen. Her dark magic was like an iron thumb keeping control of...
Una opened her eyes abruptly. Light poured into the room through the thin, lace curtains adorning the full-length windows. The unfamiliar bed was soft beneath her, and her body was caressed by smooth, silken sheets. Una's mind started to race, memories flooding back to her. Where was her love, Gael?

The economic meltdown of 2015 hit Roger particularly hard. He had been a fairly successful mortgage broker in Houston before the crash.

Even though this was supposed to my dad's time with me, I usually spent at least half the time at Helenka's house....
Before I get to the story you want to hear, let me tell you the story about how I came to be in an Italian restaurant on the Quayside with fifteen women, some of them half my age. I left the RAF aged 38, after twenty years, with an alphabet soup of qualification in telecoms, electronics and communications. Most of my colleagues went into defence related job...
One minute passes. The subway train has still yet to arrive. Within the station, many people push forward, causing it to get even more crowded between the dirty concrete walls. It seems everyone wants to take the 8:30 train. Faye, a dark haired working class woman, stands between a pole and a few junkies. This was the last place she wanted to be. It was grit...
"An evening out with the girls", at least that's what Laura told her husband and it was the truth and nothing but the truth, however it wasn't the whole truth. Unfortunately she knew that in her new line of work the whole truth was often a necessary victim. To a woman with a precise command of the English language, the word play necessary to avoid lying to h...
It was during a weekend family retreat. It was supposed to be a good chance for the N.C.Os (non commissioned officers), Officers and their immediate families to not only get to know one another, but take a time out from their daily lives and enjoy a bit of well deserved rest and recreation. Saturday evening was a banquet. I somehow felt a little underdresse...
