The Perseid meteor shower happens every summer from mid-July to mid-August. At its peak you can see as many as 60 shooting stars per hour between midnight and dawn, especially in rural areas of north America where light pollution doesn't wash away the dark. The meteorites are actually small dust particles left behind from the tail of the Swift-Tuttle Comet...
I don't like being a moisture farmer. I suppose it's my age. On this planet, or at least in the desert communities, most of the young people are eager to get out before it's too late. Too late meaning that time slips by before you know it, and then one day you wake up to the fact you're not going anywhere. Then it's what? Inherit the dusty, parched plots of...
Being the head of my department has its perks. I started to take the opportunity of going in later than usual, not too late, but not early. The other perk was that Tiffany always had my favorite drink ready for me on my desk. There were other perks, of course. Samantha and Lauren kept me on my toes, literally, either of them could make me either stand on my...
Chapter One Hundred Eighty-Seven: The Great Unknown Fergus handed a second slip of paper, one I hadn't noticed, to Alistair. "Cailan sent you a letter too. He's asked the two of you to return to Ferelden." I startled. "But...I should be in Kirkwall. I'm the one who knows—" I interrupted myself, tripping over my own words in my panic. "What if—" Fergus...
Neighborhood Watch I've read so many stories that involve a community party gone bad that I had to try my hand at it. As seems to be the case lately, I do like to celebrate good friends and faithful wives. There is no explicit sex in this story, so if that's what you're looking for you'd best move along. >>> >>> >>> Friday eveni...
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. For every inhale there is an exhale, for every Joshua Miner there is a Tomas Adele. At least that's what I'd like to imagine. Tom was the love of my husband's life. I'm typing this up because their relationship is a story that needs to be told. My husband and I, we've lived in the deep south for ove...
Mila had gone to work while Wes busied himself on his computer at the dining room table. For some reason, he always waited until Mila was gone before he started transferring the videos and pictures from his phone or video camera. Partly because he knew they would embarrass her - the things she did in the heat of the moment always did afterwards - and partly...
LADY CAROL - JUST NO LADY NO MORE! N.B. This story involves an unfaithful wife who is turned into a big cock hungry slut. Cheating on her husband and impregnation. If you don't like reading that sort of sexually descriptive material DON'T fucking read it! Piss off and read the fekin beano or some other church magazine. You have been warned. Now for the r...
Chapter 1 "Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth?" There was a long pause of silence as Bob contemplated his options and possible responses; he wasn't a particularly rash person given to impulsive responses. Of course, the people sitting at the table in front of him were also not particularly focused on what he had been...
Author's Note: Chapter 1 has a little sex and a lot of dialog about what people are thinking and feeling. It is about a marriage in trouble because they have stupidly decided to listen to bad advice rather than talking to each other, even though they do love each other. Perhaps they can find a way to overcome their mistakes and forgive each other. Comments...
