Author's Note: Fiction. Gregg is accepted in a way he never thought possible. This time, in spite of my sore ass, I slept well. The next morning Miss Becky took me to work herself. She slipped me a phone number just before I got out of the car. "Call me on that number if you have to stay late at work. It's my cell," she said. "If you do not call me I will e...
I sat in the backseat of our van, splitting my time between watching the scenery go by and reading my novel I had brought along especially for the trip.

Cynthia's husband of two years, Brian, was in the Marines' Force Recon and stationed in Iraq. She had heard her brother, who was a Naval officer, refer to Force Recon marines as "bullet sponges" when he thought she wasn't listening, since he would have never said such a thing had he known she was within earshot of him. This description sent Cynthia's imagi...
Denise watched as the timer on the treadmill counted down the last few seconds of her workout. She loved these early morning workouts with the other mothers from the school parent's council.

Chapter three An evening to remember. We didn't have long to wait. "Monitor," ordered Angla when the annunciator chimed. "Let him in, Timmy," she carried on as the screen displayed her caller.
