Elizabeth StCloud III was the best and most ruthless real estate agent in Mclean county. She was also the best looking. Long curly blonde hair neatly pulled back in a ponytail. 36-24-36 inch body that was always wrapped in the tightest tailor made skirts, blouses, and blazers. She was never afraid to do what it took to land a deal. Even if it required her to...
Ada's heart thumped relentlessly. Her body was covered in sweat despite the cold night air. Her blouse was so ripped up that she was practically wearing strips of cloth over her bra. Her skirt, now a few flaps of denim, now barely covered her crotch, revealing her bare legs and boots. The rain drizzled, forming puddles where she sat. She had to keep moving....
A man is walking peacefully through a forest. (or woman) (or an older teen (16, 17)) You are out in a strange, alien forest alone, and have only the shoes and clothes on your back to protect you from the wilderness. At this point, the climate didn't seem too hostile anyways... You aren't exactly sure why you were in the forest again, but you knew for certain...
I grew up in an isolated valley here in the West. Neighbors were few and far between. I attended a one room schoolhouse, and consequently, had few playmates. Our house was nestled between a 10,000 ft. mountain range to the south, rolling hills to the north, and a mire to the east. To the west, the valley fell away into a vast array of canyonlands. When I tu...
That night I stood in wait. Various insects chirped their territorial mating calls while fire flies flashed their indecipherable code. My choice of wardrobe seemed to be inappropriate for my surroundings. I had chosen a black party dress that I had specifically tailored for my needs. I specifically chose a satin halter neck design that came down mere inches...
NOTE: 5 hours, 4 states, 3 toll booths, 2 major rivers, 1 extremely long interstate highway, and a whole bunch of Mr. Frost's less-travelled roads . . . all are between me and my eighty-year-old mom, who's been suffering from an increasingly severe list of health problems since early last year. I call almost every day and make the trip as often as humanly po...
I hate weddings. Especially the Asian ones - mind-bogglingly large, unnecessarily exuberant, and all the bad blood and family politics that erupt. In my experience, at least, Western weddings were a lot tamer. Formal, yes, but at least families got together to celebrate rather than bring up vendettas. But, I digress. The problem that hit me the most was, giv...
"Smile!" Sophie tapped the screen, then snapped several more frames. One picture was never enough - someone blinked, or something got in the way. She was always pedantic about making sure that things turned out right, even though she didn't care too much how she looked in photos. It was something I appreciated about my future sister-in-law. It was the perfe...
Rebecca wasn't used to sleeping naked. She had done it once at home, perhaps, but never on the road. Unfortunately, she didn't have much of a choice. She hadn't meant to stop over. The conference took longer to wrap up than expected. The highway was blocked by a truck accident. It was already getting dark by the time she reached the small town and checked in...
It was more unreal than surreal. At first she thought it was a prank, but when the official documents were sent and the visa was arranged, it was really happening. Veronica knew little about where she was going other than what she heard on the news. Like most people, North Korea was about Kim Jong-Un and nuclear missiles. And Dennis Rodman. Oh god, was that...
