My name is Sarah and this is my story of how an accidental exposure turned into a horrifying experience, or was it? I'll give a quick background so you get the idea where it all started. It all really started about 7 years ago. My son Mike was 13 and he and his best friend Chris had come home from school and were playing video games when I came home. I am a...
Many thanks to Kirk2004 for editing this story. * Easter is a booming time at North Scandinavian ski resorts. The weather is usually above zero and very pleasant and sunny. Everybody is at least four days off the job. I was at one of the larger more popular hotels in our North together with three friends. A gorgeous brunette gave me a bright smile and so...
The Starlight Sonata, Part II (note: part one of the story appeared under the title "Woman in Chains") The Stones of Years I The air was so cold that the snow underfoot crunched like shards of broken glass on cold, dry stone; each breath the boy drew-in burned so sharply it made his clear blue eyes water. The cold seared his eyes, tears formed and ran d...
Jason was sent to my office after what was really a minor infraction of the school rules - having a box of 200 cigarettes in his locker that was seen by a janitor and reported to me. I knew Jason, a member of the rugby first team and a boy (or young man, rather, as he turned eighteen at the start of the school year), was not a smoker. He had far too much pri...

/* */ Chapter 13—Still More Fitting Interlude: 25th Anniversary Cindy: After the rehearsal and dinner, things quieted down. This was mostly because Dad is a difficult interview and everyone else was out of town. Friday was sort of the dress rehearsal for the party on the lawn. Once everything was set up, a lot of the booths were opened for the Amish to u...
I had never seen the city of New Orleans. The heat, the sensuous atmosphere, the vibrant colour – they all enticed me in ways I couldn’t fully understand. As I leaned back in the stiff airplane seat, I sighed, not yet realizing that I was on my way to finally visit the most pulsing centre I could imagine. I live in New York, and the winter in New York had...
Teresa and Dominic Scalia were busily brainstorming entertainment ideas for the upcoming Community Chest gala. "We've got the band with a featured singer, but I think we need something else. Something for a change of pace." said Teresa. Dominic thought for a moment. "How about a magician? It could be the first act right after dinner and before we clear the...
