Caitlyn held the phone up, keeping her eyes on the road, and said, "Okay. Period. I'm. On. My. Way. E. T. A. Twenty. Minutes. Period. Send." She had to hope that saying it a little slower would prevent any embarrassing speech-to-text mess-ups, because she didn't have the attention to spare for a double check. "Call. Tori." Her sister's speakerphone-altered...
It all started with a bit of fun on his road trip. Bryan was en route to San Francisco to hang out with an old female work colleague, as "friends". She was a couple years older than him, 32 to his 29, and she had a great apartment downtown. Of course Bryan had wondered if she would let him put the moves on. It didn't matter if he got to hookup with her or n...
Authors Note: Well guys, it's only been two years in the making! I first of all have to apologize to anyone who was waiting for a follow up. School, work, faulty computers and life in general all seemed to conspire to get in the way of my writing! But, without further ado, here's chapter 2 of Hurricane! Saturated with my blood sweat and tears! Enjoy it and t...
My butt started to hurt as we bounced along the pothole ridden forest road. Cynthia and Alexandre sang along to the couple's duet blaring from the speakers as my husband, Andrew, focused on the road. I smiled as I stared out at the passing forest scenery. We were headed to a little-known wilderness spot that had several natural hot spring pools. Nestled amon...
Monday, 4:30 a.m. Tabitha stirred and peeled her cheek off of a warm, smooth surface as she writhed into consciousness. Her head felt like a crumpled hunk of metal that had been hammered back into shape on an anvil. Her tongue was dry, and the right corner of her mouth was sticky with drool. She could feel her heartbeat throbbing painfully in the back of he...
I remember it was an late Thursday afternoon when I was pulling in my driveway: "I was actually able get out of the office on time for once." I thought to myself, because every other day I manage to get tie up at work and I generally don't make it home until well after dark. Since most, if not all of my bills are paid on line, I normally only check my mailb...
The Japanese gentleman was called Fudaki Shimizu. He was from Yokahama. Fudaki was in London with his wife, Rumiko, and their four-year-old daughter, Ishi. Fudaki worked for a corporation. He would be spending the majority of his trip in meetings in office buildings close to Great Portland Street tube station. He was slightly built but steely looking. He was...
I just love all of you people. Thank you for the support and criticisms, it really is helpful to hear all of your likes and dislikes. For the issues that came up in the comments, the medication was a continuation error, which will be fixed. Flint, however, was not. For the group, Flint is still 'one of them'. His loyalties still lay with his pack and not wit...
It was a freezing July Canberra morning when the arrival of the text announced itself with a 'bing' on my phone. I casually looked down to see who it was from to have my stomach invert itself. There was that name on my screen - "Chris D". With a shaking hand I opened it. "Hi Kate. Up for a conference on the weekend of the 17th. Fancy getting together?"...
Preeti sat in her grimy little room and struggled once again to understand how she'd gone from a haughty high flying future executive at a multi-national corporation to a penniless skank sucking on a joint and wondering exactly where the next month's rent was gonna come from. The weed leant a not unpleasant haze to her painfully recollected memories. It wa...
