*************************** Thank you to Lovefreely1993 for editing this story. *************************** I struggled to open my eyes, so for a few moments I just listened. I could hear the wind and surf, and occasionally I could feel the warm seawater tickle my toes as the waves climbed across the sand. I raised my eyelids as much as I could manage, wh...
This is my first story that I've been working on for a while and hopefully I'll have the second part out soon if all goes well. Comments and reviews are welcome. ***** The sun shone on the pristine white sandy beach as the gentle waves carried a lifeboat gently to the shore. The sole occupant was awoken when the keel of the boat touched land. Tom had lost...
Cathy and I returned the canoe to the shore, still discussing the possibilities of helping to create events at the alley which might be of some interest to Gerald. The mission would be to construct events that would induce the entrants to disrobe completely, once the mood was conducive and encouraging, without giving the management legal problems, dependant...
Today hasn't really been my day. Okay, so maybe this whole week hasn't been on my side at all. I've been ambushed, beaten, bound and shackled, drugged so I can't use my magic, and sent to who knows where. Maybe the captain knew, but he probably died with the rest of the ship as it sank in the storm this morning. Hell, the only good thing that has happened t...
Galatea gasped, and pressed her hot palm to the cold, rippled glass. Outside, the granite sky and flinty moorland blended into a windswept, frigid underworld. As dark a mid-day as there ever could be. Moor House creaked and groaned around her. Every empty room leant into the wind and heaved like a stuck shipwreck. She pushed her rear to her husband's hips a...
This story is pure fiction. "I will be right back Sati." Liz said to the large golden retriever as she hooked the leash around a pole outside the convenient store. The dog sat and looked up at Liz with big brown eyes of understanding. Liz smiled and scratched the furry head before heading into the store. Fifteen minutes later Liz emerged with a couple of...
Mila cleaned up and prepared to close the bar for the night as she thought about her day. It was a quiet evening, and she was happy for the break from the drama that usually surrounded The Rusty Tankard. Somehow though, she knew in her gut it was just a calm before the storm. Weeks passed since she helped Trysten escape into Pakaur, and she wondered how he w...
Much the same way the Sun will leave a pulsing and vivid imprint behind closed eyes, even if you stare at it for just a second, 42 year old Antonella Capuano had been dealing with something eerily similar for the past four years. Things had been great back then, idyllic in fact. Her Husband had just been hired as head football coach at one of winningest hig...
When Josh and Alex got back to the lagoon, it looked deserted at first. The sun was going down, and the tall cliff-walls all around it hid the whole place in deep shadows. There were no mermaids perched on the rocks here, nor basking in the waterfalls, nor lounging in the high fresh-water pools that spilled into the brackish inlet. But then Alex dove under...
