44 feet. That was the approximate distance from the window I was hanging out of ... and the street. It's the equivalent of 17 steps; 10 short seconds of walking. I wondered, as I was looking down, if I fell would those last 10 seconds of my life be very long ones or very short ones? Would my life pass before my eyes before I hit the ground? As I pulled my bo...
Phil awoke to the smell of lavender and spring. Verdé's soft lips were pressed against his in a kiss. She exhaled and warm, fragrant air flowed back into him like a fresh spring breeze.

Howdy, I'm RedMonkeyButt, and hopefully by the end of this article you will not only know what a crawfish is, but how to cook and enjoy them as well.

Waking up I lay there just feeling how hot I was. Hot? How could that be, the Air Conditioner had been set for seventy five degrees the night before, I knew because I had set it. I didn't think my husband had gotten up in the middle of the night to turn it up or off, he liked it cool even more than I did. Even as I was thinking this I could feel the sweat ro...
Lake Absolution is a spiritual place where sins are absolved but penance is imposed. Everyone minds their own business, unless they shouldn't, all of the wives are beautiful, and all of the husbands are below average. Tracy stood close to Troy who wrapped an arm around her affectionately as they watched Mister Jasper back his Mitzubishi Fuso truck up to th...
