I know it's been a while, but here's a story I've had in the works for some time. I honestly don't like the story until the end (this is 2 part story). All characters are above the age of 18. ***** Chapter 1 Jimmy was a geeky kind of kid, though not overly. Standing at 5 feet 10 inches, he wasn't one of the biggest boys at school, but he wasn't the smalle...
Chapter 3 Time seemed to stand still as Aoife embraced Michael. Standing there, wrapped in a golden leathery cocoon, Michael was tense, his muscles flexing, ready to endure what was to come.

It stopped me when I tried to open a portal, or really do anything outside of my body. We were...
The tension in my arm was like nothing I'd ever felt before, and between you and me, that was saying something. I felt the very fibers of the bow straining as my eyes fought the icy wind. The golden hue of the arrowhead was only a blur near my fingertips. I concentrated and took one slow breath after the next. The clouds plumed from my mouth feebly, like a d...

So now he was on his honeymoon with Sabina - 30 years his junior. Honeymoon? Horsefeathers! Yes, he'd given her a $2,000 diamond ring (small change for Old Jim), but it...

Sarah looked around her suite at the island resort. It was luxurious, with marble in the bathroom and a balcony looking out to the ocean. She unpacked quickly then she lay on the double bed and stared at the ceiling with tears in her eyes.
