It had been almost three months since Danny had first met Kath. Since then, they'd had numerous liaisons within the confines of the house, usually in the kitchen as it was easy to clean up any human residues afterwards. Danny had also had his 'instructional meeting' with Bernice but hadn't seen anything of her since their tryst. Kath had seen her about and c...
Fear Over Caution: A short story for Halloween by Sienna Strange things happen in our lives from time to time, which are unexplainable... It was dark, almost midnight and the road I was travelling on seemed endless. There were trees on either side bordering open farmland, although in the darkness it was hard to tell.

Once upon a time, not so long ago my old reliable Volkswagen van dutifully chugged away the miles while my girlfriend and I babbled endlessly and took delight in the passing scenery as dusk settled over the mountain landscape. It was always an adventure when we set out on the road for one of our frequent sojourns. Judy and I would make the 400 mile drive to...
Damn truck! Every time I drive this stupid company truck the some-bitch breaks down! This time was different though, this time the damn thing had been stuttering and stalling all day long and of all places to quit, it had to stop here! 5 miles from anywhere! I angrily jammed the gear shift into park and turned the key, the starter whirred and the engine co...
