Becareful what you wish for. It feels like that line has been uttered more times than there are grains of sand. And yet still we hear of those whose wishes cause problems. "I wish I could help." Do you? Or are you really just happy you found an excuse. "I wish I could see you next week." Really? Cause if you wanted to you could probably m...
Ich habe in "Frauenraub" Bezug auf das Vorleben des Protagonisten genommen. Die nie vollendete Geschichte dazu habe ich ursprünglich auf einer anderen Plattform veröffentlicht (auf der ich aber nicht mehr schreibe). Daher ziehe ich diese - für alle die mehr über Gernot von Stetten wissen wollen - hierher um. Ich habe die Geschichte nicht bearbeitet...
Hiyo! This is my first time submitting. Please, I'd love love constructive feedback. It will help me determine whether or not chapter two will be posted. Thanks folks! ***** Oh, not now Manny baby. Not tonight. This was the only thought my brain processed as I looked at the name on my iPhone screen. I honestly wasn't in the mood to speak with him or any...
Well folks, after dealing with a lot of things in "Real Life" I'm finally back. Sorry for the long delay in updating the story. Couldn't be helped, I'm afraid. Hope you will all enjoy this installment. * Benjamin drifted. It felt as if he were afloat on his raft, but he could not feel it beneath his feet. More than that, there was virtually no pitch or yaw...
(I found this moving account of my great, great uncle David's struggle to learn a foreign language and the methods they used to teach French to those who were ungifted linguistically. His words are taken verbatim from a secret diary he kept when he was 19 years old). * In 1885, when I was 19, my parents told me that I needed to pass the Civil Service exam...
Over at the McGraw's, Sheriff Singleton and Patty Mae had finally made it out to where Patty Mae's husband Roy had gotten himself into a pickle. "Well, there you have him, Sheriff." Patty Mae embarrassingly looked at her husband who had once again managed to get himself stuck in one of his elaborate traps. Wow... Singleton looked over and saw Roy inside...
His tan jaw flexed and ticked. Head titled to the left, his eyes gleamed wildly at me. His wavy brown hair was pushed out of his face, giving me an unrestricted view of his strong district features. Before I could speak, he slowly started walking forward into the living room, effectively making me stumble backwards to let him in. Without breaking eye contac...
Philip poked his head around our dorm room door and asked, "Hey, are you girls practicing?" "Just cleaning," I said. I held up my rag, then resumed polishing the bell of my sousaphone. "Oh, okay," he said, and he was gone. "He is so weird," said my roommate, Rachel. "We can barely get him to show up to practice with rest of the drummers, but he seems to s...
Yes, I am back with a new chapter. I know it's a few weeks late, but here it is and I hope you will enjoy it. I also have some additional good news. The rough drafts of chapters 9 and 10 are written and I have several Word doc. pages of chapter 11. Note: Given how many jZav words I have been including in the text I am finding the use of multiple asterisks t...
I slept, thankfully dreamlessly, and awoke with a nuclear-powered migraine and smelling fresh coffee. I got up slowly, holding my head together with my hands as I shambled forward into the kitchen and downed two extra-strength Tylenol chased with two cups of scalding hot black coffee. I sat on heavily on the folding chair for a few minutes, absorbing the he...
