I was sitting with Carol in the Continental breakfast room of this medium grade motel. Everybody did the Continental breakfast nowadays, but nobody did it well. Carol was the night manager and had just gotten off work. We met once in a while to have coffee; at least the coffee was good. Then I saw her as soon as she walked in. She was a little taller than h...
I know how very few people comment, much less provide criticism on stories online. Giving criticism, however, easy for the reader and helpful to the author. This guide isn't just for stories, I've found it useful in almost anything I've ever read, watched or played. In fact, I've even used it on food. That's just how versatile criticism can be. However, for...
So, it was only to be one drink, I told Gayle, and she agreed. Gayle and I worked at a Steak House, nights, a second job for us both. My guy traveled with his job and there was only the dog waiting for me at the house, so one drink sounded fine. We punched out together and I followed her to a hotel lounge that was close to both of our houses. Entering toget...
The air is crisp, and clean outside; it smells like what the commercials only wish their soap could smell like. It's what they oughtta smell like... The sprinklers are whirring rapid shots of water over the lush thick of blue-green under moonlight. Soft lamps reflect off of puddles and wet sidewalk, and everything seems so serene. I don't belong here, but i...
"Okay everyone!", said Nathalie, our seminar leader. She's the one who keeps everything in check and, well, leads the seminar., telling us what we do, when we do it and all that other jazz. "Welcome to your second seminar. I hope you all had a nice and short travel." Nathalie was around 30, still kinda young, but she definitely lead a few...
I understood why my wife left me. Once we retired in our late fifties, we realized that we shared no interests and no longer enjoyed being together. Raising kids and working let you ignore drifting apart, but being together each day in retirement exposes the problem. She liked shopping, TV and exercising. Me, I liked playing golf. She is still a beautiful w...
Angela had made reservations for us Saturday night, at one of the nicer restaurants in the city. I usually try not to work past noon on Fridays and when I came home she told me, “We are going shopping this afternoon.” She was ready to go so we immediately headed to the local mall. After driving a little way I noticed that she was wearing her tan skirt that...
I rang the doorbell, and expected the man on the other end to be in his fifties or something of that sort. However, I was in for quite the surprise when he opened the door, revealing a man no older than twenty-one with a bright smile. "Hi!" He chirped, opening the door wider. "I'm so glad you got here so quick." I shrugged, and tried not to remind myself...
Last month I bought a new summer dress I thought was real pretty. It was black with thin shoulder straps and it had little flowers all over it and buttoned all the way up the front and rode about 6-inches above my knees. The only thing wrong with it was that it was slightly sheer. I haven't worn or owned slips in years and ended up having buying a black one...
