Author's Note: Thanks, as usual, to Eclecticwoman818 for her assistance it keeping me out of trouble with the grammar police. Don't forget to vote, and comments are welcomed...flattering comments even more so. My phone rang. The ringtone was the opening from Elvin Bishop's Travelin' Shoes. That meant it was Connie. "Hey you sexy old broad" "Hi you sexy...
The days flew by quickly now as Tim and I found ourselves more and more ensnared in Steve Hamilton's lifestyle. Tim joined Steve's little fun cabal for cards and ball games, and it wasn't long thereafter that the boys brought their bi-monthly floating poker game to our house. As the hostess for the night I was expected to serve the beer and sandwiches..., an...
An unexpected gift for wife and friend. This is a replacement for the badly edited first submission -- my fault -- any volunteers to be an editor! * Dorothy gulped at a glass of orange juice. Her head was throbbing even after standing for half an hour under a steaming hot shower. In the kitchen she fumbled with coffee, managing to spill grounds on the coun...
Be careful what you wish for. Oh, and don't go into one of those dusty shops. The type of shop that wasn't there yesterday. The type of shop with all sorts of strange old things on the shelves.

Prelude ------------ Almost two years ago now, I met this girl named Claudia, in an online game called RLC. We constantly spent time together whenever we were online at the same time.

Part 1 "How would you like to spend a day with me hiking in the back section of Harriman Park?" This is the question that I put to my longtime girlfriend. Her name is Susan and she is the most fantastic piece of work God has ever put together and stamped 'completed'. She is a Police Officer. Not only that, she is a SWAT Commander. We first met 23 years ag...
The school and university system of England is a strange, anomaly-ridden thing. It has grown up haphazardly over centuries, subject to the caprices of tradition and political whim, baffling to the outsider. One of the anomalies is that the great medieval universities of Oxford and Cambridge (collectively "Oxbridge") select part of their student intake on the...
She was beast. That was the first thing I noticed when Harland left me alone with my sister. She wore a collar at her throat, one that probably would have killed her if she tried to change to human. Her body was bent and stiff and she walked as if every move hurt her. She looked nothing like the swift and agile cat that had been taken so many weeks before....
