During his school years, he was regarded as being a skinny kid. Added to this, he had a rather pointed nose and large ears, which certainly made for some challenging times amongst his high school cohort. It was not bullying necessarily; there were others far more targeted than he, but challenging times nonetheless. Names like Concord (as in the supersonic ai...
Becky and I had celebrated our eighteenth anniversary in April...if you want to call it that. There wasn't much of a celebration. We had grown so distant that neither one of us seemed to care anymore. She had submersed herself in her work. I was between jobs looking for employment in another town not really caring if I had to commute or even relocate. We had...

It had been a while since we slept together -- she had her modeling gigs and I was preoccupied with getting the groundwork laid for starting up my electrician business again. I missed her, not just for the phenomenal sex or her drop-dead body, but the company of her. I was feeling pretty mellow about things. My...
Amanda looked up from her desk. She wore headphones as she typed out the reports for Ms. Kathleen and tended to block almost everything out around her. Mitchell stood at her open door, his mouth moving. She smiled and yanked the headphones off. "Sorry Mitchell, what's up?" "Miss Amanda, I'm just about ready to pick up the new arrivals. Do you have anything...
The brunette woman walked nervously into the gym. Her eyes flicked around as she tried not to draw any looks. Her doctor said as a woman of thirty, she should focus on being healthier especially with the sedentary lifestyle of her career.

Shortly after we married my husband was relocated to a medium-sized town in the middle of the state. Not having a lot of money, we were fortunate to find a nice house with a yard at a reasonable price locate...

I attend Bartleby College, where I major in Business Administration. I come from a somewhat well-off Haitian-American family. My father, Joseph Xavier is a civil engine...
