It was Halloween and I was excited. I love Halloween; more specifically, I love dressing up for Halloween. I typically spend all year planning my costume, leading up to the big night when I would go out with my husband and our friends for a night on the town. This year I had dressed up as a British policewoman, with a short black pencil skirt, knee length b...
Chapter Three: Blindsided I laughed darkly at how impulsive and out of character this was, even for me. Tony looked up from tying on his skates and grinned. "What?" "This," I said, waving my hand at the small crowd of kids and adults filling the rink. "What the hell am I doing here?" My subconscious supplied its own answer. My ex-husbands had been right...
*Special thanks to Endcredits for his editing and feedback* * She would have left had she not felt the heartbeat of the building pulsing under her hand. Standing in an elaborate peacock costume in front of a dilapidated warehouse, she thought how ridiculous she must look. But, she reminded herself, inhibited women do not stand on public streets in feathers...
Having just returned from her trip to the Dominican, Veronica did a self evaluation of her life. Was she happy? Was she fulfilled in her career and social life? Were her eyes opened to new experiences while on her trip? The last question was a definite yes! As to her others, she needed more time. It wasn't long after her return she was single again and enjo...
I'm a driver. I love to drive. Long trips, short trips, makes no difference to me. Get me in a car, and I'm going. Unfortunately, I don't have a car that makes driving fun. It's a breakdown waiting to happen, the parting blow from my last relationship - with a mechanic who I thought might be around to fix the shitbox. Well, it's paid for and cheap to insure,...
Thanks to whoredinarygirl for editing help. Anything screwed up is probably because I didn't listen to her. ***** The truth is rarely pure and never simple. Oscar Wilde Zoey was a Lieutenant in the Navy. She was also multi-orgasmic. It was one of her many endearing features and I loved to indulge myself in seeing how many times and in how many ways I cou...
Ted was in a rush to get back to the apartment and get out of there before Greg got home. He should have taken his time. Greg was there waiting for him. "Trying to get out of the bet, Ted?" Greg taunted. "Of course not," Ted lied. The bet was one of those stupid things the two of them (along with several of their friends) were always setting up. Althou...
The Experiment Field notes of Doctor Mercada of the Nereall, Day 241 A rather miffed looking Doctor Mercada was looking into the camera. Her long hair was pulled back and held in a pony. Her labcoat was buttoned up and looked impeccable. "I have just learned from Captain Yvain that our next stop will be Katern Prime. Yet another dead world that only the a...
I've lived here all my life, the east coast of Australia that is. Raised in Brisbane, home of my paternal great-great-grandfather, Jonathon Jacobs, Captain of His Majesties Ship Brisbane. At least, that was his title before he and his officers disserted the Royal Navy and began raiding merchant ships bound for London as well as French and English colonies. A...
As usual my mum took great delight in telling my new girlfriend the lost luggage story. I took Clare to her house for Sunday lunch and told mum specifically not to embarrass me with any of my childhood stories or old photographs. She was on her best behaviour during the meal but afterwards as we sat down in the lounge for coffee she was true to form. She qui...
