Act Three: There's Always Room Chapter Three: A Way So Familiar "…Welcome to the club," Galatea was saying into the phone over the noise of the blender. Ice and Nyquil cemented into a thick, medicinal green slurry. "Listen, I've been thinking, and maybe you should tell him…" "Thinking!" said the pixie voice over the phone, "Yeah, thinking's good! You go d...

Not being able to locate the TV remote, when you have the flu so bad you can hardly get out of bed. And what is worse than having the flu so bad you can barely get out of bed, and no TV remote?

Author's Note: This story was edited by Tim413413. I thank him for his time and making me a better writer - or at least look like a better writer. Painting in autumn was a mistake. I now realized that, but it was too late to stop. The wind kept sending dead leaves into the newly-painted fence, giving it a festive look. I had to stop every few minutes to p...
I want to send out my thanks to all of those who have read my stories. I especially appreciate the kind and encouraging comments, and yes, even the votes. This chapter is a continuation of a growing relationship, so for a better understanding of some of the background I suggest starting from the first chapter and working through, as always this is the reader...
Sometimes, things happen that you can see coming from a mile away. You can prepare for it and in some cases, you can handle it well and move on. It wouldn't be a terribly interesting story if this was about one of those times. ***** I shifted my rearview mirror. The back seat had become suspiciously quiet. As conventional parenting wisdom goes, noise is fi...

"I still think we should wait," I said. "Do you know how long something like this takes?" "Yeah, I know exactly how long it takes," Kennedy said matter-of-factly. "I timed it." It seemed that...
I certainly hope you are enjoying this chapter. This story will end soon. There is possible two more chapters that will be written. I'm working on chapter 7. Let me know what you think about the characters and which character deserves to have their story told next. Thank you for reading, and again, I hope you enjoy. All of the characters are at or above th...
Author's note: I apologize for the long wait for chapter three. I had submitted it, but it wasn't posted for some reason. It stayed pending for an entire week. I thought it was going to be rejected for some reason or another. Thank you all for your patience, and thank you for continuing to read. Preview of previous chapter: Tom was settling in nicely at h...
Hello, and welcome. This is my second attempt at writing a story. I really enjoyed this venture. This story is a love story. It is a slow build up and not a lot of random sex from the start. I really want you to get to know the people in this tale. So, I hope you read this story and enjoy it. I want to thank the following people who helped me create this f...
If you just started reading my work, you may want to read the first two chapters before you read this one. It will make more sense. ***** I liked the reverend at my church. Slightly younger than me, late forties I'd say, he was about the most earnest and forthright person I ever encountered. He had a mentor. An older preacher now in his early sixties, wh...
