Hailey knocked softly upon her only door and waited for Cullen to open it. She would not be wandering alone anywhere into some far off land she could not dream up in her wildest fantasies. That would not happen. All the time she spent slipping on her dress, and the new shoes that were like the jimmy choos of whatever world she was in. Esson, she thought reme...
The sun was just beginning to rise on this clear summer day. I had planned an overnight camping trip to mountains with my family, but at the last minute, my wife couldn't go due to an emergency at work. My daughter still wanted to go, and asked if she could bring her friend. The wife thought it was a good idea, so off to the mountains we went. I was looking...
This story is loosely based upon real events. Names and places have been changed to protect the guilty. It was the mid-80s and I had just divorced my husband. He is a car salesman with very little drive to succeed and, though we always had a nice car in our driveway, all he could manage was to earn enough for us to barely get by. We lived in a small three-b...
Neither one would have guessed that they had so much in common! Both had been married for quite some time, better than 20 years each. Both were far younger looking than their middle age drivers' licenses revealed. Both were in the throes of the quiet, lonely sadness that follows the realization that the sparkle was gone from their respective relationships....
I, my wife Lisa and our two children are an average Scandinavian family living in a small town. None of us is a "first choice" Lisa dumped her "dream prince" when she found him cheating. I was deserted by my lovely girlfriend when a rich daddy's asshole son invited her for two weeks holiday at an expensive ski resort in Switzerland. Lisa and I were two broke...
Hey all, I resubmitted Part 1 as I realized I uploaded an older version. The part where Avinn exclaims that she just buried her family, I fixed the discrepancy there. Her family was cremated and she was heading to go spread their ashes in Scotland. So that has been fixed, plus some grammatical errors as well. Thanks so much for reading FTFH and I welcome all...
In the Sovereignty of Holvsren, young priestesses had the luxury of choice. The aspiring acolyte could become a Guide, who would lead the masses away from dark paths, or a Chieftainess, who would organize the clergy. Occasionally, an ambitious young woman could become a High Priestess, whereupon she would join the council that ruled the nation. But Sachi, a...
Melissa bent over and lifted a box of oranges. God, they were heavy she thought, as her muscles strained to bear the weight. Her arms weren't used to this kind of work, as she had worked at a clothing store before her job here at a massive supermarket. It wasn't her choice to leave her old job, it was just that it paid better, and money was very important to...
Artemis White was the youngest daughter of the warlord and royal Nahuel White and his wife, Kainda. The White family had presided over a large part of Northern Europe for nearly two centuries; independent from the human ruling powers though of course the humans didn't know this. They were among the oldest of the royal shapeshifter families in Europe that sti...
So once again we can thank Demirath for the editing. This is Part 2 of four. Comments are welcome but don't feel you need to tell me what a slut my heroine is after all I wrote her as a good wife. ***** My early morning flight from Chicago arrives at LAX right on time, a little after noon. LA is my least favorite city. I am, in this way at least, a typica...
