Monday evening, September 25, 2028 I drove home from the airport with one hand on the steering wheel. Addie had a death grip on my right hand with both of hers. I didn't complain. I couldn't stop glancing over at my wife, just thankful that she was home. To put it bluntly, God, I was relieved! After we got home, Addie read a couple of stories to Katie and...
This is one of the "Tales from the Shack." It is in LW in order to keep the series together, but in the case of "Needles & Delaney" there is a very strong LW element to it anyway. This is the third in the "Needles and Delaney" series, and while it pretty much stands on its own, I strongly recommend reading "An Angry Man" and "An Unreasonable Man" if you hadn...
The first thing I noticed about her was her eyes. Washed-out blue, like the water under clouds far out to sea, framed by the auburn waves of her hair and the slight dusting of freckles on her cheeks. She ordered a cinnamon cafe latte, to go. Full cream milk, no sugar, nothing else, just the latte. She was dressed in leggings, boots, and a flatteringly-tight...
My name is Jamie. I am 19 years old. This is the story of what happened to me Halloween one year ago. It was the last week of October and the leaves had turned brilliant shades of orange, red and yellow. The nights were getting cooler. Everything you could imagine was pumpkin flavored. Usually I get psyched for this time of year but things were different f...
Foreword: READ THIS FIRST! This is just a bit of fun I decided to write, involving my favorite comic book universe. It is set in a Pre-Flashpoint Earth that's a lot like the continuity was, before Flashpoint happened. You already know not to take it too seriously... right? LOL I wrote this several years ago, but decided to resubmit it here on Lit. Just b...
WOW!! NEVER had a response to a story like that, thank you all for your support and encouragement; no pressure then... To ag2507, way ahead of you, but thanks for checking in anyway. To the USAF Vet, as Austin Powers puts it, 'It's English English', not American English, sorry for any confusion but we were here first. And the requests for better editing, y...
I have always loved parties, even though I never seem to get invited to too many. I also love holidays, and one of my favorites has become Halloween. When I was a bit younger and raising a family it was always fun to dress up and take the kids out trick-or-treating. We usually made interesting costumes for them and tried to be innovative in ours as well. One...
Juliet stood before the group and she looked a little tired. "Sorry ladies if I look tired; I had a nonstop week of sucking and fucking and had a long flight home from Alaska yesterday. I was up all night editing my fantasy. I hope you like it; I know I loved making it. A special thanks to Fred, he's the same cameraman Ainsley and Erin used in their fantasy....
Edited by Deep Blue C ***** Jim Cravens stood in the motel doorway, breathing in the beach air, the salty tang waking him further from his sleep as he looked at his car parked just a few feet away, the morning mist dripping from the maroon paint. He debated whether to walk or drive to the diner down the street and mentally flipping a coin, decided that dri...
The title was in a passage of a story I read recently, unfortunately that's the only thing that stuck, or I'd give credit. ***** Looking around the room, I couldn't help but smile. Jerry deserved this happiness, he'd had a rough couple of years. I was surprised I was here at all. I called him when I got the invitation. "You sure about this?" He actually...
