Books can't teach you everything. There is a time in my life when I really thought they could, but then I met Raul and learned that some things have to be experienced. Greetings and salutations one and all, my name is Kym, and I have decided that by documenting my experiences over the last few months I may save someone in a similar situation to my own the ye...
I'm not sure what pulls me from bed. I hear sounds at first... my husband's soft breath in my ear... Our beating hearts. But... was that our hearts? Or...? A drum beat? Slipping slowly and dreamily from my loving mate's arms, I move to the edge of the bed, listening. Yes, there it was... a soft, low beat. Like a drum beat, but a drum made of something natura...
I stood up and walked to my car. I got in and started it up. I drove away from the forest. "Oh fuck!" I shouted as a lorry came across the road to smash into me. * * * * * * * "You suffered a serious head injury, Jim," Pete said to me, "you are delusional. All this stuff about pixies and elves and stuff is just fantasy." "No Pete," I insisted, "it is the...
"If only I knew you were going to come tonight, sir," she murmured, looking up at his weather beaten face as he entered the hotel bar, "I would have invited you to buy me a meal and tell me your sorrows." "I remember your hunger well," he smiled to see her once more. "Do you remember my thirst as well?" "Yes." "Then, there is hope in this world, you teas...
This is the edited version of my the first chapter of my silly little Monstergirl road trip. I know it's probably still riddled with errors, but here's hoping it's better than the first go around. I think I'm getting a handle on the common comma, but it is a wily beast that refuses to be, tamed. Maybe I'm just an uneducated cretin. Thanks for reading! - No...
{Because the mall is a magical place at Christmastime.} "Hey, Elf!" His name, of course, wasn't really Elf, but he'd been working at the main court in the mall for the past three years as Santa's helper and after correcting hundreds, no, thousands of small children who insisted on calling him "Elf", he answered to just about anything. Besides, he did have...
The Gods of the housing market were obviously smiling on them and they were both able to sell their houses quickly. The new larger house was duly purchased and a bank loan found the last £20,000 that was needed to complete the purchase and carry out some minor repairs and decorate the house throughout. Chris being an architect meant that all of this was done...
"She's a total ice queen." I said. "I have to work overtime to even get a peck on the cheek." "That's rough dude." Dan said. "I wish I could say I know how you feel, but sometimes I feel like my girl puts out too much." "Wish I had your problem." I told him. "Are you just going to brag, or do you have any ideas?" "Like I said, I've never had to coax my gi...
Author's Notes: When I was ready to submit the final chapter, I had to reread the entire story (because it had been so long). As I did, I realized that the final chapter was just too...inadequate. Remember, I originally split up chapter three into two parts. By doing this though, I was able to see that the ending wasn't enough. I felt that this chapter dese...
Parvani's parents could have sent her to any university in the country. But they much preferred to have her staying at home. My Dad was supporting our family on a single salary; he couldn't afford to cover my tuition, much less the cost of residence at an out-of-town school. There was no issue about me continuing to live at home, though, so room and board...
