Crowd, noise, dust and exhausted gas. After the silence and the clean air of the mountains and the hills, Kabul looked like a dirty, messy metropolis, and the medic, Katya and Yury were stunned, especially after a day of walking without eating. Ahmad had been generous, letting them go, even with no food. Nobody had any doubt, about it. And nobody had complai...
We married with a civil ceremony because this was the only valid marriage, which could be registered at the Italian consular offices. My mother would have liked that we had a church ceremony too. Orthodox church, of course. The atheism of State was becoming history, and however, my mother had me baptized, when I was born (in a hush-hush way, of course, but w...
The medic and the Russian had stopped for the night. Bearing in mind that he was a city boy, the Russian was not so squeamish, the medic though. If he had to walk, he walked, if he had to sleep, beneath the sky, on the dirt, he slept. Even the medic was a city man, but he had more experience about the life in that country. Especially about how much it took t...
Epilogue Sandra found herself in a drugged daze lying on a pile of hessian sacks that seemed to rock to a gentle rhythm beneath her. As more of her senses returned to her she realised she was in a goods wagon on a train. Her body seemed slow to respond to her brains instructions as her head turned slowly to take in her surroundings and to assess what was ha...
I am reposting these stories under another profile and changing some names for personal reasons. THESE ARE MY STORIES. (P.S. Anonymous trolls' comments will be deleted so don't bother). ***** I am not sure if I would call it a dream come true or a nightmare that would haunt me, but when it arrived in my email, I was shocked. I guess I shouldn't have be...
You're not thinking about going to Paris without Charlie and me, are you?" asked Jordan as soon as Gwen had announced her intentions. "Oh, Jordan! I hate to ask anyone to go to funerals. This isn't going to be a fun, romantic trip," pointed out Gwen. "If you'd like to come with us, we'd be extremely glad to have you! I should've known that you'd want to hel...
The usual protocol for state dinners was forgotten as Paula, Lisa, Kate, Jordan, Caroline, Naomi, and the rest of Gwen's friends flocked to her side. The guests at the dinner smiled broadly as they watched the age old custom of women congratulating one of their own on her pregnancy. That was one reaction that was the same in every culture the world over. Som...
Sorry this took so long to actually get out there for you guys. I have not forgotten you I promise, until recently things have been pretty busy, but I am going to have all sorts of time to write for you now! Yay! My muse has apparently disappeared into thin air as we both are prone to doing every once in a while. So, you know who you are, and I hope everythi...
The Captain read the reports with tight lips. He had counted at least thirty bodies or what was left of them. Thank god Tahir had rescued half of those left but the body count was starting to mount. Washington wasn't that pleased but after the horror stories of those he had rescued they weren't that unhappy now. Tahir wasn't that pleased either, still perpl...
