My name is David Thompson. I teach math at Trentstown Community College, and have for 18 years now. I am 48 years old and the father of three grown children who are all married now and beginning families of their own. My wife Becky and I are now what you call "empty-nesters", and without our children around to keep us occupied, our life together had become p...
Still unedited works, so apologies for any and all errors. Looking for a good editor. PIECES Ann and her sister Joan were driving back from their parent's house. John, Ann's husband, usually drove but he had been called into work. Ann smiled at Joan and said, "We should have driven the Miata." Joan shook her head and said, "And where would we have put all...
"Thanks for meeting with me Jerry. I didn't know who else to talk to that is such a good friend to me and John." "Not just friends, I hope. I love both you and John equally even though I have known him longer." "I appreciate that." She sighed and seemed to be searching for the words to say. "Janice, take your time and tell me what the problem is." "John...
It was a slow day at the office, so I thought I'd run out and pick up a few supplies from the grocery store. Atlanta was enjoying a beautiful autumn, so that gave me another inducement to get away from my law practice for a few minutes. As I made my way through the produce in the grocery store, I thought, "Now that's unusual. What is Jim Davenport doing her...
### The End? It had been a long day, once again my team and I had worked late into the night. Crunch time is like that and I, as the lead programmer on the game needed to be there through all of it. Often, like tonight, I'd be the last one to leave the office. After I'd set the security system, I exited the office and then the building, headed across the pa...
Cindy followed Ben into an office. He was her supervisor and they'd been flirting for the past three months. She didn't know why, because he was out of her class. A recent graduate from the University of Georgia, he was a lady killer: handsome, tall, blonde, built, and popular with all the girls in the office. On the other hand, she was ordinary with shapely...
It starts so very randomly and unexpectedly. I am sitting in a cafe during lunch time in a mall not too far from my Los Angeles suburbs house. And I call my wife Archana. She does not answer. I get a text message instead. - Sorry Ninad, in a very important meeting at office. Will call later. Anything urgent? I stare at the message for a few seconds. With q...

Chapter 2 – Better Acquainted Lana looked at the man behind her husband in hatred. It wasn't that she hated the new man, it was just that it meant that she, again, had less time to herself. "Mrs. Luthor." said Clark, and held out his hand. Lana smiled a false smile and shook his hand. "Nice to meet you Mr. Kent. If you're the one protecting me, I don't th...
What follows is a true story. The events took place over five years ago, so I refreshed my memories by reviewing the notes in my journal and in my wife’s diary. Only the names and a few details have been changed to protect the not so innocent. We live in a small town in Oregon and it might be too easy for people to put the story together if I didn’t change s...
