(Authors Note. First things first this is my first story so go easy on me. Second this is hopefully the first part of a short series.

Not much happens in this first...
Trust is the foundation for life, love and business. Those are the words that hang in our home office. Those are the words that have guided my marriage for 24 years. It is because I did not remember that simple meaning I almost lost my husband, my marriage and everything that I hold dear in this life. Background: My name is Molly Reilly. I am married to M...
The best fun I've ever had was during vacation. Ever notice that when they show Spring Break videos featuring college students having fun, they almost never show black students? That's messed up, you know. I guess that's why my friends and I decided to make our own black-themed Spring Break video. Show the world they were wrong and display once and for all t...
It's 8 PM and my last student is out the door. My husband and I are both musicians. He plays with a band three or four nights a week, and I give piano lessons here in our house. Music has been good to us, and good for us. We enjoy the esthetics of the art; and we've been fortunate enough to be able to make a comfortable living doing what we like to do. Our...
Author's Note: Hi everyone, here's the first chapter of the main part of Animal Instincts.

A flash story (This came to me when I was observing (at a distance) a fast paced negotiation that ended poorly for one of the sides.) "Hey Chloe, before we go down to your mothers' surprise birthday party, could you step in here for a minute?" It was my husband Mark. We've been wed for a year now and it's all good. We married right after college and with hi...

Sorority Sister of Pi Loda Cum Chapter Eight: Faithinwhat "As promised, Harriette," Father Costanzo replied, stepping out from behind a curtain with what appeared to be a small leather billfold tucked under one arm. He was wiping his hands with a wet rag, attempting to free his hands of what looked like chocolate...
After spending what my parents referred to as "far too many years in school," I had finally received my teaching credentials. Early on, I had decided to become a high school teacher, like my father, though I knew that this would essentially ensure a life of abject poverty. Like many of us, I had gone through a rough patch in high school, and it had been my h...

I spent the better time of my high school years in detention. I just couldn’t seem to keep myself out of trouble. Hell, that was why I graduated a year late, because I never could seem to get to school enough to get the grades I needed to get outa good old St. Francis High. That was until the first day of school in what would be my last year of high school....
