Our project was meant to preserve the African jungle, The irony of tearing down a stand of old growth forest to set up the satellite data links we would need and the structures to house our operation was lost on none of us. We justified it by the fact that once our buildings and antennas were up we would be able to monitor wildlife over a broad area, spot po...
Jenny Jenner, known to her friends as JJ, was just 26 when her life changed forever. Her life up until then had been full of disappointments in most things and constant heartache when it came to her love life. Throughout her teens and her time at University, each successive boyfriend had either dumped her, cheated on her or was just been plain bad as with he...
"Hi Matt, its James" I began. "I'm gutted that you will be going away in September, we've had a great time lately, and I'm really going to miss the fun" "Me too - but I will be home quite regularly..." he replied. Did I detect a slight tone of hope in his voice? "Laura and I discussed EVERYTHING that has happened, we both agree that if you are happy to car...
Hans-Olof was not a handsome man. He had always been overweight, had always had glasses. The overweight boy with glasses had matured into a fat man with thick glasses. He had always known that his weight was the first thing that people noticed about him and in most cases judged him by. Everyone felt free to give him advice on diet and exercise, but very seld...

The seminar which Sally was contracted to cover certainly changed her life, but in the most unexpected way.

Well, perhaps it would be more accurate to say that she merely saw the woman on the third night of the voyage; they would not actually meet until later, by which Isobel had betrayed everything she had ever believed in. On the third night of the cruise Isobel had brok...
Hail, hail, the gang's all here, Sarah thought bitterly to herself, seeing Rachel power through the doors of the lab, her high heels making her the tallest person in the room save for Delphine. What a barrel of monkeys. You had Helena, snitching from Cosima's candy dish—set out in a laboratory just for her, really just a petri dish with some Skittles in it...

The bedcovers were loosely thrown across her petite frame leaving only her ample breasts exposed. Stroking them softly with her fingertips she watched as her nipples hardened and tiny goose-bumps appeared on her body. With the sun stoking...
Anna was stressed. Extremely stressed. The air conditioning at work was stuck on heat and it had been sweltering in her little corner office on the 16th floor of one of the busiest insurance offices in New York. Her underwear was soaked with her sweat, her usually light and airy suit felt rough and tight. Her hair refused to stay put in its bun and stray wi...
Chapter 2: The New Me Over the next few days I had tried to come to some understanding about my time with Albert and Roger. I had a hard time believing it had happened to me. In my entire life I had never been all that interested in other men. I had been very happy with my marriage. Why was I so disarmed? How could I have gone so far? Where had all this pas...
