It was around eleven o'clock and the party was progressing well when, in the middle of "Truth or Dare," Anthony Williams urged his wife to confess the worst thing she had ever done, and she announced she had been unfaithful to him. There's a context, a background. There always is. Margaret wasn't just being bitchy. She had been drinking. Well, who hadn't? T...
I was pretty surprised when I got to the house and opened the garage door that the girls did not wake up. I had a chance to unload Gabby's meager pile of stuff along with her wheelchair, before a head popped up in the back of the Range Rover. It was Gabby, and she pushed up with her right hand as she held her floppy hand up near her lips and made a 'shhh' so...
My situation was becoming increasingly uncomfortable. I had been invited over for dinner by my girlfriend of one week, Penny. The main purpose of the evening was to meet her older sister, Kendra, who was apparently just dying to meet me. I had arrived on time, but Kendra and I had to introduce ourselves, as Penny was not yet home from class. Minutes after my...
Thanks to Nstygirl for her continued assistance with my story. I greatly appreciate the feedback, comments and encouragement I received from chapter 1 and hope this chapter is worth the wait. There will be a final chapter 3. Other than some back ground and character development, it's not necessary to read chapter 1. TSG * I woke early on Tuesday morning...
It is funny how you meet people these days. How people either open their wild sides up or lie when they chat with people on the internet. It was funny, when I met Katherine late one evening, I could tell she was different. Even as hard as it is to read personalities on the net, I could sense a hunger in her. We must have talked for at least two months, and t...
There was absolutely nothing good on television that night as Gary flipped through the channels. He felt just as worthless as his infamous cable provider after having been laid off of work for the second time that year. He felt even more worthless for he was sure his wife of five years was cheating on him. She has continually been coming home later and later...
She looked over the room and scanned the crowd for someone that she knew, that she could actually have a conversation with and saw no one. She sighed and drained her champagne flute and sat it on a table and wondered through the crowd. Her friend Amy loved throwing theme parties and tonight's was a 1920's gangster era party. She and Amy would go shopping in...
Chapter 12, In which we move up in the world It was difficult getting used to living on three whole floors instead of a single apartment. There was so much more to take care of! At least I had my own room again, even if it was rather cramped -- it just made sense to use the old servant's quarters because they were so conveniently located. I hurried downst...
The remains of the ruin came into view as the pair crested the ridge line of the trail. The huge, black stone building, with its arched buttresses and hideous designs, remained a horrific testament to the darker side of this world's history. Twisted forms of demonic creatures and arcane mastery found purchase on the carved surface of the ruin unlike anything...
"Damn!" Sandy uttered under her breath as she dropped her earring on the floor. Nervous, excited, she closed her eyes and took a deep breath before bending to pick it up. She glanced quickly at the clock on her dressing table --- only seven-fifteen, still plenty of time, no reason to rush. She found the earring and stood up appraising her figure in the full-...
