Chapter 23: What happens in Vegas... OK, I knew I was a nerd. I have known since I understood what a nerd was. The problem was that I did not look like a nerd. I was tall, semi-handsome, had a deep voice, and did not need glasses. But I was also a loner with a perhaps an unhealthy attachment to my iMac. I was terminally shy with everyone and catatonic w...
*** Hi all - as a gentle reminder... As with all my works, this is a work of fiction: any semblance of my characters, persons, places, and events to any, uh, actual real characters, persons, places, and/or events is purely coincidental. It's all made up, though at times loosely based on personal experiences. Some characters that I've used in the past may pop...
This is the first story that I have ever written. I apologize ahead of time if there are grammatical mistakes. I only used Word. Let me know what you think. Cheers! ---------------- Cast of Characters: Bill Jones - Main Character Jim - Bill Jones's boss Kim Smith - A new hire Alex - A supplier for Bill and Kim ---------------- I hate business trips....
Sorry for the break. This batch has taken a little longer than I expected to work out a couple things. Note: The next chapter won't be in Interracial but it'll come back here after that. It just will cover a topic that some people might be really bothered by and I wanted to avoid upsetting anyone. -- I woke up the next morning to a sadly empty bed. Carly h...
I thrive on feedback so please feel free to leave comments. This is written with the intent of making it into a graphic novel so if something seems out of place it is because they are meant to be drawn. Please enjoy the continuation of Henri's adventure and without further ado. ***** The next two days go that way as well, with Zilvra going hunting, Henri...
6. London —— Harry stayed the night at Charley's, much to the media's delight, but managed to arrange a way to leave without being photographed the following morning thanks to a call put in by Harry's manager to the landlord. The burly man met them in the parking garage underneath the building and swiped the roller doors to allow Harry's security team to...
Lauren hovered in the doorway of the command center. The place was buzzing with activity. On the wall furthest from the door, three large screen television sets were playing the news; CNN, BBC, and Al-Jazeera in English. Faces seemed most intent upon BBC, which was covering the ongoing eruption in Iceland. Against one wall was a row of computers, several w...
As the plane landed, Wendy squeezed Alex's hand and looked at him with a huge smile on her face. "I can't believe we're in Hawaii!" Alex smiled back. "I know. Finally, we can unwind. No email, no status meetings, no conference calls, no zoom calls. Just you and me in paradise!" They were both ready for a vacation, and Maui was the perfect destination. The...
This is Chapter Two of a book. The characters and situations will be more understandable if the previous chapters have been read. Because it is a book, some of the chapters are more exciting than others, and some situations do not complete until the next chapter. I could have run this through my regular publisher and made a couple hundred dollars, but I am p...
It seems that everyone wants to know what the characters in a story look like in order to get a good mental picture. Normally stories aren't about completely average people and this one is no exception except that I, Amy, the main character, am not a raving beauty. To give you an idea of what I look like -- to be expounded on later -- the Valentine's Day car...
