Brice defended himself in a hypnotic staccato of curt sentences. "Augie, it look like she got beat up. And there ain't nothing for miles. Gonna storm soon. We gotta help her." It was dark outsi...
My boat slipped almost silently between the broken off remains and the still standing trunks of trees that were submerged when the reservoir was flooded half a century ago. The morning was already getting hot and it was only nine thirty. I deftly maneuvered the aluminum hull between the solid chunks of oak sticking up like fingers from the soft mucky bottom,...
As i walked into the house from work, i could hear my wife laughing out loud from upstairs. She is getting ready for her girls night out with 2 of her friends. "I will meet you two at the Varnish Club around 8 OK?" I hear her say as she hangs up the phone. "Will, is that you sweetie?" Carrie shouts from upstairs. "Yep, just got home from work!" I state....
I had never done any chatting online until a friend introduced me to a game site which involved chatting. The first few times were nothing spectacular. I had been playing cribbage mostly. One day I decided to go to dominoes. That’s when everything changed. I started playing with this guy. I checked out his profile, which I find most chat rooms have. It was...

Black Book Diary Entry Gertrude and I worked at the same place and lived not far from one another. We didn't commute together, but gave one another a ride to and from work, whenever one of us was stuck not having a car. She was older than me, but at least 25 years. Matter of fact, her son was my age and her daughter was only a few years younger than me. Ge...
"Billy, stop screwin' around man, we're in church!" "Oh the holy man, 'we're in church'!" Folding his hands in mock imitation of prayer and wriggling his hips in a 'girlie' fashion. The two boys, (Billy, twelve and Mark, 11) move, for the most part, in awed silence around the sacristy and altar, Their task, altar boy, is not to be taken lightly. At Immacul...
Friday night, around 5:30 PM: Megan pulled into his drive and shut off her car. For a long moment she sat, staring at his porch, wondering if she should go inside. Her mind drifted to the events of the last few months. Most of the time she had spent with him had been painful. Still, she had never felt safer. That perplexed her. How could she suffer so mu...
"How did you learn to sew?" I jumped. My foot slid off the pedal and the machine came to an abrupt halt. I spun around in the chair. The heavy satin dress started to slide off the table. "Fuck!"
