From an idea from Dahlia57 Naina had just won her Master degree in Economic Sciences degree at the University of Birmingham cum laude (with honors in latin). She had shortly after officially married Tim, her former professor and lover for four years in her home town of New Delhi. There has been a big party with over three hundred guests. The couple had duly...
The hot Yucatan sun was creating a shimmering heat wave over the tarmac of the airport as I climbed the steps of the aircraft ahead of the passengers now waiting patiently in the departure lounge. From the large glass windows they could see the plane being made ready to take them home from their sun drenched holiday; the flight crew boarding, the baggage han...
Lauren had been working for her new consulting firm for a little over a year when she was invited to the annual company ski trip to Tahoe. This was her second job out of college and it included a huge raise from the first contract engineering job she landed. She had accomplished so much in the last four years: a degree in electrical engineering, landing a f...
3. Spring Throughout January and February, Harold continued to write to Jenny at least once a week. Whenever a letter arrived, she felt a little pang of longing for her old life, and a little more guilt at having to be so deliberately vague about her circumstances. Every time she read of his conventional, decent life back in York, she felt torn, knowing tha...

You don't get much celebration when you are a single girl with no close relatives, no relationship, not really any friends except the lunch bunch from work. I got up and got ready to shower. As always I checked the mirror. Even a girl with no man in the picture needs t...
Jim had been busy with his work commitments, so Jen had a few days to fill before a next session could be arranged. Jim apologised for not being free to organise anything but Jen told him not to worry, a few days would do her good and make her enjoy their next adventure even more. She filled her time mainly with reading, something which she had always enjoy...
This is another story for the woman who is just out of my reach. I base my stories off the things she tells me, and also off our limited time together. She enjoys reading about herself, and I enjoy writing about her. This is your last Christmas present, Jo. Hope you like it. Love, Eddy *********************** "Would you relax you fucking idiot!" I look...
"So I'm at this concert, yeah?" At this point I'm explaining my evening to my roommate Rick. I'll spare you the dialogue and write an expository text instead, I know the other would undoubtedly irritate me within a paragraph and a half. I was at a concert in Hardwick Park seeing a local group called Common Knowledge. It was a really good show, solid artist...
Methinks I have mentioned from time to time the existence of The Little Sketching Group (LSG). The LSG was formed just after the turn of the century by my photographer friend Harry and consists mostly of older males and a few females, many of whom are customers of Harry's photography business. The LSG was seen to be necessary because though the local Newbury...
