He was retired now, but once upon a time, they had called him the wolf. He was the best at his business.

Finally at fifty, he was back in the states, working at a desk job, st...

Finally, Sanju's mo...

Jannet was searching the paper on Saturday, desperate for a job, any job. Jobs were scarce in this city and she knew it. As she looked through the classified she crossed out job after job that she was not qualified for, or did not pay enough to support her family. Flipping the page to the newspaper she sees an ad that catches her eye. "Personal Secretary Wan...
During the summer of 1975 I took a working vacation to Germany to gather material for a couple of travel magazines I sold to on a fairly regular basis. Of course, I did all of the usual tourist spots along the Rhine and Mosel rivers in the hope that I could find an angle the other travel writers had not worked to death, but I knew I really needed something t...
The bar was busy, waitresses moving around with drinks and snacks, the hum of beginning-of-the-weekend chat a constant buzz, a jukebox playing country music just loud enough to hear, not so loud that anyone needed to raise their voice to talk. They'd been lucky, a booth being vacated just as they'd walked in, and they'd taken it gratefully. Drinks ordered, f...
Day One: I was thriving here in the so-called apocalypse, no rules but my own morality and my survival talents were finally put to proper use. I felt masculine, strong, able, worthy. In charge of my own life, future, destiny. With no one bossing me around, other than those two, but I was only tied to them because of Emily. I didn't mind her bossing me aroun...

I went home early this morning to get my things so...

He works his ass off at a job that he is not particularly enamored of, however, as we all know and live today, somebody has to pay the bills! And woe is the guy who works his life away, without taking a little bit of time for his own now and then, just to...
My name is Joan and I just had twin boys unexpectedly at the age of 48. My husband Brett and I were high school sweethearts and have been married for 25 years. The past few years we've rarely had sex so this was a huge shock. We now have four kids in total and our house is chaotic. I kind of miss the days where my hubby would take me in a public bathroom o...
