Susan Fitzgerald Singleton found herself in an uncomfortable situation. She had never envisioned seeking the services of a private investigator, but she was told that Hartman and Hartman were the best. They came highly recommended by her sister Mary, a prominent New York attorney. Susan suspected that Mary was using the PI firm to keep track of her wayward h...
Silvia Keenan was normally a woman who exuded confidence, but in her fifty-seven years, she had never come close to committing a crime before. As she walked through the doors of the Commerce Bank and Trust, she was sure that everyone would see how nervous she was, and certainly she would be stopped and arrested. The safety deposit boxes were across the large...
I'd like to thank Ken for a final proof of this. ***** It took two weeks, but Lynda was ready. The first thing that Monday morning she did exactly as Steven had asked, she made an appointment to see the US Attorney for just after five that afternoon. "I'm going to need time to set things up. When you speak to her just tell her what I asked you to, no mo...
Lately, there have been a spate of ugly-duckling stories on this site. I have no idea why. Maybe it's the weather? Anyhow, my buddy RichardGerald did it best with his story, "The Bridge." But I couldn't pass up my chance to stir up the troll population with this short piece. No sex. Please enjoy anyway – DT ***** East of Eden The Devil's name was "Vanity....
RichardGerald has published a fascinating yet frustrating short story here called "The Bridge". I've read it over and over already and can't stop thinking about it. Several other readers have commented it should be continued and some things made clearer. I am one of those folks. Only Richard knows what "the truth" is with his own characters. But to merely tr...
I'm still working through the period before the original story began. The next chapter I hope will start to bring the stories together. To those who like the story enjoy, and to those that don't: Why do you keep reading? **** The first week of November found Steven Fitzgerald in the drab little room that served as his office in the larger law firm. His pl...
This is the second part of the crime and punishment saga. I intend to write this story before, after, and through the old story. My friend John did the original edit on this part a while back. It has gone through many revisions and edits since then. I'm sorry to see that some are not reading because they did not like how I resolved the last version. Sorry,...
© 2017 Sorry, this is taking so long between chapters. The problem is not with the writing. I do about a chapter each week, but the proofreading is tedious. I hope you enjoy this chapter it was fun to write, and please don't confuse the morals of the characters with my own. Chapter 5 "Merry Christmas," Tony Greco said. "Merry Christmas," Susan DeVoe Sing...
I want to thank all those who were kind enough the comment, contact me, and vote on my last effort. I thank Xtctr for editing this story and pointing out where it was confusing. Please don't blame him if there are still spelling and grammar errors. I make a lot of mistakes. You can see I took many of the comments on the last story to heart and I hope this on...
A brief story with no hard sex and no BTB. You have Michael K to thank for cleaning up my grammar. I would like to thank Vickie for her work on my last story. I forgot but please accept my belated thanks. All comments welcome. If you send comments privately, remember I can't reply if you don't give an address. ***** I met my wife Jessica one Thursday whil...
