It is amazing the number and variety of friends my stories have generated. In the novel Animal Farm, by George Orwell, he states that all animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others. I feel the same about the friends my stories have given me. While they are all special, one is more special than the others, and I thank her for these last fe...
In the weeks that followed, Jerod and Denise's business grew like gangbusters. They were filling their working days with sales calls, demos, and hands-on trainings. When they weren't selling, Jerod was harvesting prospective clients from various online databases. There was an endless stream of potential customers and it showed no signs of letting up. Denis...
Author's Note: This is a sequel to my prior series Criminal Affair 1-10, and unlike previously I chose not to piecemeal it out. I wanted this one all at once, and any future stories for this series will be done in this fashion as well. I would like to really thank Tigersman for the excellent editing. ---- Monday - March 17, 2025 -Chase Kramner- A long s...
About 18 months ago, the Campbell's, our neighbors since we moved to the neighborhood three years ago, put their house up for sale. My wife Brooke and I were anxious about who might move in as the new next door neighbors. Sam and his wife Donna were a little older than us and both of their kids had left the home. Donna had wanted to downsize now that the ki...
Prologue Most days, she did her exercise at noon and relaxed in the pool afterward. Floating on her front, head in the water, thinking. The Santa Barbara sun was hot on her naked back as she drifted over to the black granite infinity edge facing the ocean and rested her head in the half inch of water flowing past. It made a very small burbling noise. She sh...
As Stef left school she looked for Cole. He brought his car now and he waited everyday to give her a ride home. She sort of dreaded the rest of the day. They were supposed to meet over at Michelle's to study. She had told them all today to bring their swimsuits because they could go in the pool after studying. Stef was convinced it was just another ploy by M...
This story takes place about six years ago when I was in high school. I was a senior and very much ready to get the hell out of school. But one thing I did regret was that I would not be able to see Mrs. Shannon again. She was my physical science teacher and one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen. I'll describe her to you the way she looked the ver...
Fred Blake was one of the first people I met in the office when I was transferred from Minnesota to Arizona. He had a weathered look, like he was probably in his early fifties. The Phoenix sun had probably done that. Still, he was trim and seemed in good shape. His hair was dark -- almost black -- and graying nicely at the temples. I hope I still have that m...
I had just moved halfway through my senior year of High School from a relatively small school, to a much larger one. The class I came from only had around a hundred or so students, and the one I had transferred to was considerably larger. The entire senior class had its own building, so everyone there was eighteen years old, though some were older if they'd...
