"The question before me," said Ethan as he strode back and forth in front of them, "is what am I going to do with you two?" Ethan turned to them, seated at the table in the kitchen; his handsome face marred by a glower. She could tell by looking at him that considerable anger lay just below the surface. The only question was whether that anger would engulf...
David Kennison was a man of few words. It had always been that way, since the moment we found him huddled in that abandoned jeep, smeared with days of dirt and gore. Nobody ever held it against him, though. Not for the three months we operated as a unit in the violent wasteland our city had become. Shelby, Ryan and Ruth were out getting supplies. They left...
My very first attempt at a submitting a story. This is an introduction, but it does set the scene much more action in the following parts. Enjoy! * Through his living room window, Adam saw the person he thought least likely ever to visit him knock nervously on his front door. It was three o'clock on the Friday afternoon before Christmas. Confused and with...
This is a true story. Here is a little background info on Ella and I. We started dating in 2009 and we have been married since July of 2011. She is an instant head turner whenever we go out.

It was one in the morning in an International House of Pancakes on a weekday. This meant that the flow of customers were actually almost a standstill. I sat with my cup of coffee and waited for Hanna to show up to talk about the little note I received. Things were a bit different. My downtime let me finish my thesis. I had a teaching job lined up at a l...
Tom anxiously rechecked the now well creased card stuffed in his pocket. "I hope I'm not too early for the party," he muttered quietly to himself. The card was stuffed back into the pants pocket and fingers lifted to drum lightly upon the steering wheel. This was to be his first Halloween party as an adult, a college freshman away from his parents and the wo...
James and Lavannia left the campus, and drove to an all-night diner near the campus. They unconsciously chose a table farthest from the few other patrons that were already there, and sat down. They were both parched from their nocturnal activities of earlier that evening in Dawson's office. A waitress in her late 30s approached their table, and handed them...

As Mayor of Little Falls, Jamieson - or Jim to his friends - worked hard at his job, which he often felt was a thankless task. He stopped at Sylvia's juice bar every day on the way in to work to collect a shot of wheatgrass juice, which h...
All the guys on my rowing team were laughing when I walked into the boathouse. "What's up?" I looked around as if I had missed the joke. "Dude, we have just hired the hottest Asian chick to be our team nurse!" Paul yelled. Paul was my rowing buddy - youngest guy on the team. Very excitable. Everyone's kid brother. Suspected virgin. "But here's the thing,...
"Is that why you like her so much, because she's not me? Because she talks in soft tones and follows all your fucking rules?" Jezebel yelled, "Because she's a weak robotic bitch that you can control?" "I do like docile women," he said knowing it would infuriate her, she was anything but docile, "women that know their place." "You mean that place below your...
