It felt like a jack hammer was drilling a hole into her skull when Louise awoke the following morning. She groaned when Gillian's alarm rang shrilly. "Turn the fucking thing off," she muttered from beneath her pillow. "GOT A HANGOVER, LOVE?" shouted Gillian with amusement. "It serves you right for drinking all that crap last night." Nausea threatened to ov...
This chapter was originally part of chapter 3, but it was getting long. So, this is just a continuation of that chapter. It picks up the following morning. ***** Chapter 4 - Paige Tells Her Parents Paige's dad freaked but her mom defended us dating. Kind of backwards from what Paige expected. Daddy was trying to protect his little girl. It seemed to me M...
Taking a seat at the bar I gaze across the crowded, smoky hotel lounge, my eyes searching. In the dim light I see a couple seated on high stools at a high table over in a corner. I make eye contact with the bartender. "Manhattan, please," I say, throwing a $20 bill on the bar. Returning to the couple, I focus on the woman. She is striking. I always notic...

I wake up from a restful sleep and remember I'm on a plane to Hawaii. I look over to find my new friend looking at me. I ask how long I was out for and he tells me about three hours. He's smiling which I hope means I made his flight an enjoyable one. We should be landing in about half an hour and I can hardly wait to land. So much to do and I'm just not sure...
I lay there for what seemed like forever, not knowing what to do. Then Mrs Watson appeared at the door wearing a full length bath robe. She leaned against the door and said. "Brian we have to talk" I figured that it was over, I was being told to leave the house and find another place to stay. She walked toward the bed, her robe opening as she walked. I sti...
I remember the first time we met. It’s a dream that will be forever etched vividly in my mind like the imprint of a memory. That night I sat at my computer, watching the words blurring together and running chasers across my screen. I promised you that we would talk again. Start menu…shutdown. The computer whirred to a stop, leaving only a peaceful nightt...
Position. That was the problem. He was sitting in the cheap apartment he'd rented to save money while he was getting his credit equivalencies, after getting back. He was frustrated and pissed off. The school work bored the shit out of him and he hated the professors at the community college. They were a pack of soft, pudgy, pasty, smirking, condescending ci...
It was a family holiday that Jo wasn’t looking forward to. Stuck on a boat with both her parents and 12 other strangers, all as old as her folks, didn’t really seem like her idea of fun. Sure, in theory, it was great. Two weeks cruising the Turkish coastline in the sun, stopping every few hours to swim in a secluded bay, food and drink whenever you wanted it...
