They say that the apple never falls far from the tree. I don't think that's always true. Take me for example. Everyone in my family is dark-haired and squad but somehow I came out...Teutonic. I'm five-foot-eleven, slim and fit but with curves where it counts. I have shoulder-length strawberry blonde hair and lime-green eyes. I was born in the City of Calgary...
When you teach in the public, or private schools for that matter, you find yourself on some committee giving free time for some school project or another. This evening I found myself serving time at a school mother’s house representing the principal on a really dull project. There were about 15 parents present and the talk went in circles about this or that...
Sally McCormick stared out the car window, watching her world go by. It was a bright September morning, with the hot Georgia sky preparing to provide a late season scorcher. Sally's world, or the one she was allowed to see, was a relatively boring one. The young blonde teenager had been born and raised in Imperial County Georgia, in the medium sized town of...
Just a note: All characters are over eighteen. This one is just a little bit of fun - please enjoy :) *** Alana sat at table and fiddled with her food. She had been throwing surreptitious glances at Connor Montrose all through lunch. God he was gorgeous. Devine even.

We are all blessed with the power of hindsight, of being able to look back at the past, and to recognise that moment when the decision that we made would have devastating consequences. Sometime in the future I would recognise that this was to be one of those...

She had to keep the dorm security radio with her at all times and be the first member of the dorm staff to respond to any crisis. The RA would have been perfectly content with the arran...
Everyone at Hoover High called her Ikky Nikki and it was Garrett Smith's misfortune that he had drawn her name as his partner in Senior Biology for the semester end's project that would provide them with a third of their grade for graduation. Because Garrett was a star player on the football team, he thought he could get his partner exchanged, but had no suc...
The author VirriV requested feedback on his story Savages. I thought VirriV wasn't successful in getting across his main character Veer as he wanted to get him across. I thought about re-writing part of the scene to show him hopefully how to do it better. Eventually, I decided it would fun to just re-write the scene and publish it. This is nothing like any o...
Author's Note: this is a strange continuation of a series, as Miss Kathy and B, do not appear in it, Tommy only briefly. Please bear with me; they will be coming back soon. *** "MOLLY!" Daisy suddenly woke up from a sound sleep; she was dripping with sweat and breathlessness for breath. Miss Daisy rooted through her closet and found Angel and her prayer c...
"Dude, I told you before, my name is Pooja Manochahal, not frigging Poo-Poo, and if you poke my nose one more time, I swear will slap the shit out of you," said the diminutive, curvy, raven-haired and brown-skinned young Indian woman, speaking in a measured tone. Fearlessly she looked up at the tall, young Black man who stood before her, a smug smile on his...
