In my five years at the university, I've never seen or met anyone like her. Not even close. Even the way she walked into class on the first day. It was less of a walk and more of a glide.

This chapter contains two stories of a life-changing nature. In both, people stepped forward and gave of themselves to help strangers that really needed the help. As noted in the other three chapters, kindness is not rare, just under-reported. The purpose of this series is to let readers become writers and tell their stories of unexpected and unconditional k...

Narcissus was quick to reach the bottom of the tree, but Xanthe was quickly learning how to safely climb down the trunk. As her feet touched the moss covering the ground of the oasis, Narcissus took her hand, looking into her eyes with a smile. He walked away, leading her, to the edge of the oasis. He didn't pause when he reached the sand, pulling her out on...
I was attending a conference down in Miami as part of the yearly team building process for my company. People were coming from all around the world to stay at the Hilton hotel in the center of the city. The conference itself was quite fun with lots to learn and do. Since we were there for a week we also had plenty of time off to explore the city and enjoy th...

And he was going to turn it upside-down. She had been curious about D/s before; she knew it was something she wanted to at least try. Now, her stomach quivered with butterflies and her eye...
Tom knew when he agreed to work with his mum at her office, that it may not be the best job in the world. Working as a 'skivvy' or 'junior clerk', to give it the correct title, wasn't very appealing. The money wasn't great either, but it was a job all the same. He had struggled to find employment elsewhere, a sign of the times, especially as he had just le...

Sean and I are lovers, and let me tell you, this white dude can d...

Thank you, and sorry for any confusion.] Chapter Two- part 2. At the top of the stairs, Rachael found herself looking at a short hallway with three doors and two hall closets. From the hallway,...
