Dear readers: The current work has been reviewed by a few. Most agree it has flaws. It is a second half to the story "When." You know my sick version of a love story. People objected that it was no romance. Further, it was also almost universally agreed that it could only go one of two ways. But this is fiction, right? Thank you Vickie and all the others w...
This is the first part of a love story. As you might guess from my other stories, I have rather a dark view of love. But please don't judge the story only by part one. I want to thank Vickie Tern for all the editing assistance. It is a big job and I tinkered with it after she finished. There will always still be mistakes because this is free, and I am no pro...
Once again thanks to Vickie for her help Kate sometimes wondered how her life would have turned out if she had never married. She had a promising career as a New York City Police officer before her disastrous marriage had forced her to abandon life in the big city. Few people realize how rural most of New York State is. Reach into its northern mountains...
As those who have written me recently know, I have been working on longer projects. But since so many asked for something in the interim, I went through my incomplete folder and pulled out an unfinished story. I hope you like the ending. I think it fits. ***** My daughter Annabelle has reached what are sometimes referred to as the terrible twos. If you a...
The story is a bit on the light side and not to be taken seriously although some little bits are drawn from my past. Mike K was kind enough to edit out the worst of my bad grammar and spelling. I owe him a debt here. The story is not perfect but it is free. As always tell me what you think. ***** Father Dominic entered the dimly lit Newman Center Chapel....
(If you haven't already, please read "The Bridge" by RichardGerald here first and then my own "The Bridge - a Little More". This won't make a lot of sense otherwise.) What's love got to do, got to do with it What's love, but a second hand emotion -Tina Turner It has been a year since my dinner with my ex-wife Gloria at her request. In retrospect I don't f...
Where's Buster Copyright © 2020 By Richard Gerald I know it has been a while since I posted anything. I have not been stricken by the plague or otherwise suffered ill health. Those who wrote to inquire and with encouragement for me to continue writing are greatly appreciated. As some of you know, it wasn't the nasty comments keeping me away (feel free to...
Copyright ©Richard Gerald 2018 What follows is the first part of my submission on the July Fourth nautical themed set of stories. The second part is written, but badly in need of a rewrite and a good edit. I will post it on the Fourth. There are no doubt typo's and misspelling in this first part. Feel free to send me your corrections. As some of you may...
Copyright© 2019 by Richard Gerald I do apologize for the delay here, but I was pushed off my schedule by circumstances. I want to thank all the readers who stayed with me through my health problems. This will be my last online story for a while as I have some other work to complete. Please email me if you can, and I will try to answer. I know some people l...
This is a resubmission as the original was fraudulently reported as not having RichardGerald's blessing to publish an alternate ending. Please join me thanking the person who keeps reporting my stories, the attention gets me extra readers. Also join me in wishing the site administrators would check some of these malicious claims before acting. Finally, rest...
