The cold stone pressed against her knees as she knelt silently in the narthex, waiting for Jolen to complete his business and join her. She had much to tell him. Nervousness fluttered in the depths of her stomach, or was that a movement of their child? Her thoughts strayed to how little she knew of childbirth. Would Jolen welcome her news? She knew he had wa...

When we got home Sam introduced me to his bother David who was only three years older than Sam. They carried my two bags inside and we headed to Sam's living basement.

After more than a year of missing him with every part of myself, I couldn't take it anymore. I had a very hard day and just needed my best friend. Without thinking, I got in my car and started driving. I drove for days, crossing the vast terrain of the country until I finally made it back home. It was his day off and I knew he was working on some household...
The Pink Sleen is located in Victoria. As you near the waterfront the buildings seem to get seedier and seedier. As you enter the wharf itself you find that things seem to get even worse.

Long before I met my current wife I fought in the Viet Nam War. That automatically makes me old. I'm 67. I've had a good life with plenty of success. Unfortunately, after the war I made a poor decision to get married to someone I had not known prior to my service. It was a mistake that lasted 10 years. The sex in my first marriage could not have been worse....
So much had happened in the past few months for Lucas. Hill won the intercollegiate championships and many people pointed the success at Lucas. They'd never seen him train so hard and show so much resolve to win. They didn't know the water was his surcease from his crumbling personal life. Not long after his blow out with Sanaii, his father had a stroke. H...
A couple of years ago when I was on a bit of a backpacking trip around Europe, I went to the party crazy island of Ibiza. It was early July so the peak season was starting to kick off. Upon arriving at the small little hostel I had booked into, I bumped into a couple of Canadian girls that I had met in Barcelona the previous week. Both girls were in their ea...
