Annie Stepford-Jones appeared and disappeared unnoticed. Her presence in the world was very small. Her skin was so pale it seemed even sunshine failed to notice her. She spoke always as if she was trying out the words, practicing what to say rather than really saying anything. If other women noticed her at all they commented on the dreary colors she wore and...
It was the night of the highest tide, where the cool grass of the Carrough Faire met with the icy seas of the Laithe Bay. The night when the waxing moon silhouetted the three ships of Erised from the small seaside town. The trade winds filled tired sails and ruffled the blonde haired sailors aboard, eager for their homes. It was on this night that Ada s...
I value feedback. Tell me how my story made you feel. Tell me what it made you want to do. Tell me where it can be improved. Tell me it can't be improved! ______________________________ Her crying woke me. For a moment I lay still and listened to her gasping sobs. Partly she was crying because of the pain. I had tied her elbows and wrists together behind...
Catalina couldn’t get much news of the outside world, but because she was Spanish the servants uttered jeers and threats at her that implied that Spain was indeed preparing to attack England with its Armada.

"Charlie," Cynara breathed as soon as she sat up in bed, but no one was there. The house was quiet, eerily so. Cynara rolled out of bed and ran down the stairs, "Charlie!" she screamed as she went, stumbling desperately. The house was exactly as she had left it, but something just didn't seem right, and she couldn't quite put her finger on it. Then all of...
Patty and Robert had experienced passion's highs, as high as one gets when one thinks about the best moments of one's life. When those rare moments are destroyed, life stops. For fun, the couple had scheduled their wedding on Halloween, but three days before the spooky nuptials, Patty turned up and told Robert she was not going through with it. She had met...
For Sam, there was something slightly intimidating about large corporations. Perhaps it was the vast, open spaces of marble and brass elevators, the enormous windows overlooking from the 17th story an immaculate plaza below. Perhaps it was the power suits, and the executives downing an egg roll as they listened intently to their messages on cell phones like...

She was reading by the soft glow of a lantern in the back corner of the Library, surrounded by stacks of books and papers in front of her. I suspect I've always had a " thing" for bookish schoolmarm sort of women. Well, I am a dusty academic type myself, although in my imagination , I'm like Indiana Jones- mild mannered professor , until called on for a gre...
The water came dangerously close to his feet, the last wave had almost kissed the bottom of his boots. He took a few steps towards the safety of upper ground, never taking his eyes off the majesty of it all: the stormy sea, the cold, harsh wind blowing though his hair, the port wall, in the distance, almost being swallowed by the waves. He wrapped himself u...
