Matt was pretty sure he was not insane, nor even slightly unstable. Nevertheless, he sat outside Dr. Braun's office, fidgeting. A young woman sat opposite him. She gave him a warm smile. He gave a nervous smile back. She tilted her head back slightly, and gave her neck a casual stroke. "Hi, I'm Amy," she said, and extended her hand towards him. Matt took h...
"Are you OK? What happened?" Alene responded to Nadia's fearful yelp as she lifted her upper body to get a better view of the room. Nadia took a deep breath, "I'm fine." She said and as she did, Nicky's head popped up at the bed's feet. She rose to her knees and Alene saw that she was naked. "What are you doing here? Didn't we give you a room?" Alene wonde...
Background Terri and I had been married for about seven years when, out of the blue, she left me. I had no idea why. She returned about a month later. During the marriage counseling sessions that followed, we spent many hours talking with a psychologist. Terri said she didn't know who she was. She also told the shrink, I wouldn't let her be her.

F. Scott Fitzgerald had it down perfectly—shadows and music that never fade, shadows you sometimes find yourself still looking at, as if they are really there, as though time has not elapsed, music still there, still as it was, the room, you, him, as though there is still a chance, I mean in this essay at least, of getting a friend back. There is nothing I c...
"So, you seem healthy for a man your age. You're healthy for a man half your age. Was there anything else?" "Well, Doctor, there is one problem," Mark mentioned reticently. "You see, I met this woman a while ago. It's the first girl I've, you know, been with since I was married and things just aren't the same." "Having erectile difficulties?" the doctor a...
Hey guys. It's been a while since I posted a story. About 2 or 3 years if I remember correctly. Long story short: I've changed. And not for the better. I've been going through a really rough time lately. My mom thinks it's a mild form of depression. I more or less stopped caring about everything. I flunked out of college second semester of my sophomore year,...
My life was a mess. I am a flight attendant for "Conus Airlines", an airline that flies within the continental United States. I had a rigorous schedule and I was overly tired and very stressed. I needed time off to rest and gather my thoughts. I had just broken up with my boyfriend of three years and needed to start a new life for myself without Jack. I dec...
All characters over eighteen. *** The wind was cold as Gary crossed the campus; he tightened his coat and scarf. At 70, he was not as spry as he used to be in his mid-years. Still, the air was refreshing as he walked toward the building complex. He had heard about Dr. Susan Carter's research into brain chemistry, but did not know she was also researching t...
They say when you do what you love; you never have to work a day in your life. This was especially true since I was leading my latest client through the woods. She was the farmer's daughter who could be found anywhere in the great northern plains. She had brown hair braided into a neat pony tail and freckles that dotted her otherwise clear face. She had matc...
Chapter I Wet Rose Prelude Darkness started melting through autumn raindrops sensitively scratching windows pestered with coldness. The city of Gratewill woke up on the chest of wet evening, smelling like memories of childish craziness. It was raining gently, feeling like the nature was getting ready to burst in tears and overflow all day distress over a...
