"Barbara, what's going on?" "God I hate doing this," she said, obviously in some mental anguish. "I'm about to lose a very good friend, but I can't help it," she said still not being able to look me in the eye. "What, Barbara; who is the friend you're going to lose, Cora?" Just then the bar maid came over to take our order; it was an untimely interruption...
Everyone portrayed is over eighteen. This is fiction; as always, all characters and events, etc. are figments of our imagination and have no connection to any living or dead persons, or true events. Sally I met Sally at one of the semi-annual get-togethers hosted by our apartment complex. The pretty blonde wore a modest blue bikini partially hidden by a c...
C-South High School, Zanarkand The only place Raine could be alone to cry was in the park, on the swings. Head down, shoes elevated from the trench of mud below the swing, Raine didn't get far, the tears only just welling up in her eyes when Auron's boots appeared in her range of vision. She swallowed and hastily cast away the tears. "I thought I gave...
As always, thanks to Boheminxen for the edits * Chapter 1: A New Life Kagari Tanaka was my best friend and I will see him no more. We went to the same private high school together and met on the debate team. I won fourth chair our freshman year and his father made him join. I covered often for his shyness that year, due to his nervousness about speaking E...

Author's Notes: Gang Aft Agley is a work of fiction, no characters or situations have any basis in known persons. The story continues the theme I generally use, that of a happily married couple wherein the wife attempts to add a lover to the family mix. In this story the couple has a girl child. Let me be very clear, the child is not involved in any way in a...
Today was the big day, Earth Day, only Mortimer wasn't himself today. He was still in shock. It wasn't enough that he was diagnosed with cancer and given a death sentence a few weeks ago, but now this. This was too much. From bad news to worse news, this was what had sent him over the edge, no doubt. It didn't matter, with his Earth Day plan already in place...
Chapter One Summer was the living embodiment of the Academy's ideal student: clever, outgoing, ambitious, and not at all transformed in any way. Those four features, or so she told herself, were the reasons why she was the most popular girl in school. Even now as she waited for the rest of her friends in the cafeteria, a stream of acquaintances dropped by...
Special Thanks to BlackRandi for organizing this event. I also appreciate her editing this story for me (which may cause her to NEVER organize another event ever again). While I have always been a legend in my own mind, I appreciate BlackRandi's efforts and invitation. While I have recycled a few characters in this tale, they are just stories and as always a...
Author's Comments: Someone asked me for more action. I am going to try, but this isn't that kind of a story. Besides a couple of major battles, I've planned, there isn't going to be much action. Adventure yes, but not too many fights. * I've had a revelation while writing this story. I've always been squeamish about anal, but once I removed the disgust fac...
