Emptying the dust into the trash, she set the broom carefully to the side and started unpacking the box of books. Owning a brick and mortar bookstore in an e-book economy was a tough go, but Viki thrived on challenge. It was time to go home, but Kelli was still in o...
Well, another long Christmas night has just come to an end. And it was a very long night of toy deliveries. People just don’t seem to sleep during the night like they used to do. It gets hectic being Santa Claus these days, trying to avoid late night partiers, all-night workmen, up-too-late kids, and newer home security systems. It’s hectic and tiring. One t...

Christmas time was in full swing but you would never know that from Christina's house. It looked like it did throughout the rest of the year, simple but elegant. Also, not a drop of Yuletide at all. Not that she hated Christmas; far from it. Christina was single and did not care to be reminded of family and togetherness. She simply would ride the day out lik...
It was the night before Christmas and Santa was in the house, slumped over his desk with his calculator out. Pressing buttons to add and subtract, calculating probabilities to be exact.

So for the first day, I show up, expecting basical...
