Why was everything slowly rocking? It wasn't doing anything good for her head and stomach. Her eyes were itchy. She thought to rub them. She couldn't. Something was blocking the movement. Her eyes opened. Wooden, creaking, a ceiling that felt rustic. There was an unfamiliar aroma in the air. Rellenora was reminded of a time when she had to go with her...
Lynn, I don't even really quite know what this is. And by "this," I mean this piece of writing as well as what we are to one another. I know only that I feel like the best moments of my past five years have been those that I've spent with you. And they are but moments, in the broader scheme of time and our married realities. We met first on social media,...
Hi, my name is John. I've worked for the same company for the last 47 years. I was hired right out of high school. I got the job because I grew up with the owner's kids. Over the years the company has grown into a retail giant and is now the largest private employer in the world with over 2.2 million employees worldwide. I've had numerous, low level position...
Georgette and Ted had been to this flea market many times before. They loved to relax on a Saturday morning strolling through the aisles and aisles of junk looking for rare treasures. Ted had found some nice tools and a couple of golf clubs (including an antique mashie which he had mounted and displayed in his office). Georgette had found some wonderful item...
The call from Lena was unexpected. Colin hadn't spoken in a while and she made it sound as casual as she could when she asked if he would have lunch with her and help evaluate a job opportunity. As casually as he could, Colin accepted, they settled on the following day and he suggested an up market sports bar that was close to the midpoint between their offi...
Millie pushed the meal cart into room 603 of the Pine Hills Assisted Living Center. Most of the residents took their meals down in the dining room, but tonight Margaret Anderson was feeling a bit under the weather. She and her husband, Lloyd, would dine together in their room this evening, with the television as their company. "Hello Mr. and Mrs. Anderson,...
This story could be the first of a few episodes, it depends on the reactions I receive for this story. I could tell how we met and got together and so on. Enjoy! This story is my imagination, any semblance to any person is purely a coincidence. I would like to thank Dawn Johnson for taking the time and effort to edit this story. Going up... I had been dati...
I am a Doctor, part time anyway. I don't know why I even became one, in that early stage of my life I knew I would need a profession and government money was available so I took it. It didn't take very long working in a trauma center for me to realize I didn't like that part, so I went to work for an HMO in a wellness clinic. That was better, I fit right in...
Today was the day from hell for Beth. Anything that could go wrong did; Murphy's Law was pulling no punches on her. Beth was barely awake as she got out of bed, grabbed a fresh towel and went to the bathroom. Leaning over the sink she took a close look at her face. 'Man, it is at times like this that I am so glad I wake up alone.' Beth shivered like she jus...
As always thanks to my editor Cheer_Smartie526, the story would not be the same without her input. These are recurring characters but the stories are not in any particular order. I hope you enjoy them. Comments and voting is highly encouraged. The room was dark and quiet, only the soft white noise of the ceiling fan was audible. Fiona awoke with a gasp....
