The big day is approaching, another birthday, and I will be turning 35 years young. The age is not stressing me out, however I thought it would. My life is just where I pictured it would be at this age, a loving husband, a wonderful job, and two brilliantly sweet kids. My husband is the love of my life, sweet, understanding and by my friends standards "A one...
John was having a difficult time seeing through his windshield, it was wet and foggy, and the windshield wipers only smudged the front windows. Then his old car shook and quit on him. The nineteen year old managed to push his car off the road and catch a bus. He was soaked; water dripped from his blonde hair and into his blue eyes. John was more worried abou...
When Jake invited me to join in his invitational this time. Oh he's invited me most every time and I've started a tale for them all. I just ain't too clever at finishing the damned things sometimes. This old mind of mine kind-a wanders off into pastures new; well, new stories anyway. Anyway this time - just to stop Jake form getting too crotchety with me - I...
1 She was a good girl until that night she saw her boss kneeling down behind her desk, his face pressed to her chair, breathing in her scent from the place she’d been sitting.

Over the noise, I asked her nam...

Matt was going to be late for work. But there was no help for it now. As he usually did, he woke before the alarm even went off, 5:45 reaching for the clock, shutting it off before it was to sound at 6:00. He gave his still sleeping wife Julie an affectionate smile, though she'd never know it of course, crawling out of bed. Showered, shaved, dressed and re...
It was a Wednesday, Wednesday evening; Wednesday late evening. I was helping a friend out by putting up some shelves in a basement of a church hall. Not my usual job but just something I turn my hand to every so often. I had started to put these up after my usual day job, so I had started late and I knew there was going to be a meeting in the hall above, s...
Dave was a junior executive at his company but he never seemed to get his break. He did a good job, but it seemed he was passed over for promotion. What's worse, he saw the showboats, the guys who didn't work half as hard as he did, get the fast track to success. They acted like winners and they were treated that way.
