Melanie had been Abigail Somner's best friend as long as either of them could remember. They had grown up nearby each other, gone to school together and now were about to launch into their college careers together. Mel had always been the prime mover, the 'go getter' of the pair. Abi was quieter, more introspective, in fact she was just plain shy. Neverthel...
I drove into town to be met by a wall of hostility, not the usual hostility associated with a stranger taking up residence in a smallish country town, which I was, but the hostility towards a man taking the place of a beloved citizen, which I also was. I was because I was guilty of buying up the beloved citizen's property in a mortgagee sale. What the hosti...
When she woke later that morning, Sean had already left. The clock flashed nine o'clock. The aroma of coffee wafted through her apartment. She rose from her bed and padded to the kitchen. There was a plate of cranberry orange muffins next to the coffee machine. Nina picked up the note next to the plate. A peace offering. Dinner tonight? Nina was startled...
The week flew by. She found in her parents' medicine cabinet, witch hazel and a jar of aloe. She doubted they would miss it and if they did she would come up with a reason she needed it. Hemorrhoids, but then her mom might insist she see a doctor. That would be awkward. She made the sign of the cross and prayed they wouldn't notice. She wrote Miguel a lot....
I was now at an interesting juncture in my relationship with Elle. Her moral compass seemed to have taken a turn for the worst, her decent in depravity on an ever increasing decline. But to say that would have me acknowledge that she had a moral compass to begin with, something I was fairly certain had been woefully lacking in her life. Born when her par...

Meg (34) had expected Thomas to be filled out and to be stylish and handsome and her heart dropped when she saw the under-weight and somewhat angular slouching guy in a T-shirt with the wording, 'Pregnancies Are My Specialty'. "Jesus Christ," sa...
July 14, 1874 Dry and dusty, dusty and dry. I don’t think this land ever changes. I am tired of the wind and heat already. I wish, and heartily, that I’d never let Jack talk me into settling here. I wanted to go to Colorado. The cool, clean water and the tall majestic mountains. If he were here... July 18, 1874 Mabel Wilkins stated that I was a “heathen...
On a warm, humid, Midwest, summer night a little breeze stirred just enough air to allow the elderly couple to spend the final hours of the day on the veranda. They shuffled out, sinking into opposite ends of the chaise. It was so hot this summer. The heat slowed them, melted their rations of energy. No words passed between them; none were needed. The woman...
Two guys most involved in one woman's life reflect on their lives with her. It is not a BTB or revenge story nor does it contain graphic sex scenes. If those are your forte, then you might consider moving on to another story. ---- Stephen: About a decade ago, I was a 6'-1", 155 lb, 5th year senior college student in electrical and computer engineering m...
First the last few lines of part 1: After dinner Nusrat went to the toilet. I followed her. 'Tune faisla kar liya hai ki tu Sahebji se apni bur phardwayegi (So you have decided that Sahebji will deflower you),' I said. 'Yes, but there is a problem,' she said. 'What?' I asked. 'I have read in his stories that he likes shaven choots (cunts) but my choo...
