As always, feedback is appreciated. :) ____________________ The next day, Mellie slept in until noon. She woke feeling refreshed, but somewhat anxious about missing school. She had spoken with Danielle and Christine the night before, and they had promised to get all the makeup work she needed and bring it over tonight. Mellie ate breakfast and took some o...
Public conveyance dropped Lucia off into the sea of humanity at 5th and Broadway. For two blocks she was swept along by the flow of the post lunch crowd until she side-stroked her way to the entrance of the Forbes building. Lucia pushed her way through the circular door and left the din of the big city behind. The cavernous hallway echoed the tapping of he...
Please rate, and/or comment. Constructive criticism always appreciated. * She takes a deep breath and stands before room 1226. The sounds of a television coming from the room across the hall. She straightens her shirt, and gives her skirt another smooth down. Then she knocks firmly on the door. After what seemed like an eternity, she can hear the door latc...

"May I come over?" She spoke softly into the phone. It took him a moment to realize who was calling; then another second or two to find the answer. It wasn't a simple question. He knew that. She should not be calling him. He knew this much too. He should say no; and he almost did. Then quietly she said, "Please, say yes." Hearing her voice made his breath c...
It was a strange train ride to begin with. The Metro North is always packed to the brains with every type of person you can think of heading home from the City, but tonight I couldn’t even seem to find a seat. I hate having to sit with someone I don’t know; they invariably turn out to be some sort of schizophrenic who won’t shut up, asks you strange question...
Shock and awe. Juli Astonford, Ph.D., felt them both as a cold rain pounded the flagstone surrounding her swimming pool. Juli gazed out the window and heaved a heavy sigh. April could be a cruel month, breeding lilacs from the dead earth. Juli's sigh caused the silken fabric of her blouse to swell and cling as it molded to the shape of her firm breasts. Dr....
It was 9.30 in the morning and Peter Reid was sat at his desk pondering the first major problem of the day. It was a problem being faced by thousands of other workers across London at that exact moment. Should I check my personal e-mail first or have a quick game of Freecell? Peter decided on checking his mail account as you never knew what you might find in...
