By GeorgeAnderson, based on characters and a sketch by stev2244. Thanks to stev2244 for letting me use his ideas. Thanks to BlackRandl1958 for beta-reading, copy-editing, encouragement, and friendship. She's great at all of it. Thanks to both of them for liking the result: it means a lot to me. This story contains no lurid sex scenes, no Navy SEALs or Army...
Chapter 13 On Friday David phoned Alex. "D'you fancy coming round for some beer at home? Celia is out on the town, so I'm housebound." There was a moment's pause before Alex replied. "Sorry old son, I'm out on a date. How about Saturday at the pub?" "That would be good, but if you came to mine instead, Celia would be there and the three of us could have...
Author's note; First I want to apologize for the length of time it has taken since "Merry Little Christmas" was published until now. I completed this about mid January. I sent it to my editor who never got back to me.Shortly thereafter, I got fed up with my girlfriend and we parted ways. Also some of my stuff parted ways.....like my PC. Luckily I was able to...
Author's note: If Barry Fox's name is familiar it is because he was a character in my story "On Being Proactive." This story isn't exactly a sequel but the two stories do cross paths. For some readers this story may answer questions they had after they read Proactive. This story is a departure from my normal writing style. I have tried to tell Barry's story...
We were sitting around after the day's work on Friday in the local dive we called our bar. The four of us were listening to Bill Chapman explain again how he had just discovered his wife of 25 years had had an affair a while back. The other three had offered him their support and pointed out repeatedly the cost of a divorce if he decided to go that route. Th...
I pulled my beat up nine-year-old Ford Explorer into a spot by the river, that was shielded from the county road by a thick stand of trees, and as quickly as the ignition was off, my girlfriend Lauren and I were leaning across the console connected in a passionate kiss. "Ready?" I asked in a nervous voice. With a nod, we opened our doors, stepped into the...
"Oh my God, look at that woman; she's incredible," I thought to myself as I approached the figure standing next to the freeway on-ramp, her right arm extended, thumb pointing up. I'd just finished four days of sales in this city, meeting with more corporate reps than I cared to remember. Business had been good, with some existing contracts extended, plus a...
Flight BA 233 from Larnaca to London Heathrow was twenty-thousand feet somewhere above Western Europe and for at least one passenger the plane was a flying prison. Ali Fisher toyed with the chicken in white wine sauce in her compartmentalised plastic tray. She leafed through the in-flight magazine without reading a word. She even tried watching a movie, but...
Weeks had passed since our weekend camping trip where we had witnessed the decadent initiation rite of the bikers. Strangely, it had exposed some aspects of my wife's sexuality that were new to me. There had been a few times where one of us had made a passing comment about the event, but we had not discussed it in any detail. I think at part of it, at least...
It's been a while since I worked on this series, and I'm still trying to get a feel for the characters, so cut me some slack...
