The next few weeks saw Maggie settling back into her old routine. She continued to take her birth control pills because she was anticipating Roberto coming back for one more fling before he was gone forever. Marvin's attitude was bothering her but she couldn't put her finger on it. He seemed upset when he was told that Roberto was back in Miami and that he w...
Last night Ken Shigenori had gone to bed secure with his lot in the world. He'd gone to the right school, worked hard, been admitted to the right university, worked hard, took a job at the right city firm, worked hard, and while he wasn't one of those 'Masters of the Universe' the papers liked to bang on about, after successfully closing out the DiMaggio dea...
I want to thank Kirk2004 for his encouragement and invaluable editing. If there are mistakes in punctuation they are mine not his. Thank you, Kirk, you are the best! ~*~*~ The Confrontation 'Hell, I might as well go home; I can't keep my mind on work anyway,' he thought. His head fell back against the chair; he closed his eyes and exhaled a deep sigh. "I...
Readers who have made it this far may wonder why none of my encounters with my fellow students had led to any of them becoming my girlfriend. Courtney had come the closest (perhaps she was unofficially my girlfriend for a few short weeks), and the heartbreak I experienced when she moved, having loved her for so long, simply made it difficult for me to consi...
Bright sunlight shining though the window woke me up fairly early that next morning. Once my eyes adjusted to the light, I found myself looking at the beautiful face of Carla, still naked except for the garter belt and hose. Hoping they weren't too uncomfortable for her, I looked down at her furry patch of pubic hair, wanting to run my fingers through it. I...
Hopefully some of you who read this can appreciate the feelings behind the words. Feedback is appreciated. Otherwise, enjoy. * My dearest Liliane, This shall likely be my last letter, as I am not long for this world. It was some years ago that I was diagnosed with cancer. It came as a shock, though I have come to accept the inevitability of it. As I sit...
A bit(!) far-fetched maybe, but just a gentle story of two people finding each other in strange circumstance ************ Hello, my name is Dave and I'd like to tell you about my office romance. I've talked with Megan and she says it's okay to relate the details of our relationship. It all started when I got a new job. I had been having some problems and n...
This is the first in a series of stories about consequences. Thanks to Angel Love for her comments and editing. My name is Eve. I'm married to a man named John Constantine. We met and married when I was twenty-three and he was twenty-six. He has a brother, Robert, a little older than he and they both lived with their father Salvatore and their mother, Cha...
I pulled the car into the garage and lowered the door. I sat there in the dark and the quiet and let calm take me over. I had not expected this, no idea of the emotions that would tear me apart during the reading. But, the task was completed. I had done what they asked of me and now it was finished. I walked into my house, laid the large manila envelope on t...
"It's my life," Stanley Thurgood said to himself, and the big and tall, dark-skinned young African American man looked at the OC Transpo bus that sped away, leaving him stranded across the street from the Walmart located on Innes Road, in the east end of Ottawa, Ontario. The 94 bus sped through the highway, going toward the West End. Stanley knew that he wou...
