You Love Me To Hate You As I was writing this, I realized that I was over 20k words and wasn't even close to a finishing point. I decided to break it up into chapters. One of the criticisms against me is that I don't develop my characters enough. Maybe I've got that figured out now? Maybe it's just word salad? This story could've gone in any number of ca...

(Another somewhat long one, I'm afraid. Thanks go to Dawnj for helping out! Whatever mistakes there are, are entirely mine.) I. Parents' Night When Anne Tyler had dismissed her last class of the day she sat down at her desk and stared out of the window, without taking in the view. Three o'clock -- four hours before the parents' night would start. She rathe...
Life was good; I had fun with my children, I was reasonably secure financially, enjoyed my job at the school, and I suddenly had a far more interesting relaxation technique to 'deal with stress'. I had a reasonable social life based around lots of friends, many of which I'd got custody of after the break up -- which again I think says as much about Parker a...
It happened over breakfast, in the Marcello household in Upper Elm. And it came from Johnny's sister. Without warning, in front of their Mom, as they ate their Corn Flakes, she said, "The boys at school? Like Johnny?" That's all. "The boys at school? Like Johnny?" And she let the question hang there. They were all at the table: their mother, Johnny's yo...
*Author's Note: Growing up ugly isn't easy. I know that firsthand. I also know what it's like to go through a complete transformation. The way people relate to you in the world of before and after is unbelievable. Same person, completely different reactions. Girls who used to nearly run to the other side of the hallway in high school to avoid even the possib...
Authors note: After I posted DC&H I received several notes from readers requesting that I tell Kathy's side of the story. I thank those readers for their interest and dedicate this story to them. I would also like to thank Techsan for taking the time from his busy schedule to edit this story for me. My name is Kathy Alpin and I was twenty-nine years old...
An introduction and fair warning. It would be a good idea to read 'The Dentist' first, as there's no overt rehash of that story here. Second, this is told as a series of entries in a diary so Eugenie, being a woman, is not constrained by linear thought. Third, again it is a woman doing most of the talking so keep that in mind; it might run a little long. F...
Evelyn was just plain bored. Her life had fallen into a mind-numbingly dull pattern of work and Karl and kids. Just when she thought she was going to lose her mind with boredom Max turned up. He appeared at her office at noon one day offering to take her to lunch. But instead of going out to eat Max took Evelyn to a nearby motel where they caught up on old t...
Chapter 11 -- Another Star Lights Up Roy sat in one of the more comfortable chairs on the patio with a circle of friends around. Elise returned to her chair with a glass of water for Roy, and a Southern Comfort Manhattan for herself. He looked longingly at the alcoholic drink as she sipped and talked to Pam. Dave said, "So, what is your physical therapy al...
