She forgot morning, not just this morning, but every morning for as far back as she could remember. It wasn't that she slept late, sleeping through all those mornings, no, each day her alarm went off at seven a.m. and when she got home after work there were breakfast dishes in the sink. Looking over her email, she found that she had diligently read h...
Well, I'm finally giving in and giving them names, much as I am loath to do so. These are fake names. It would be too risky to use the real ones. All characters in this story are over the age of 18. * Seth didn't call me that night. I kept checking my phone, looking for a missed call, a voicemail, even a text from him. Nothing. Jen told me not to worry, a...
A siren ripped through the tiny bedroom like a freight train and the topless little redhead sprung up in bed like a frightened child, eyes darting around the room.

Having shown the porter out, Misty made her way back to her bed, and sitting down upon it, opened the letter. She was thrilled, it was from Valentina, and this was the first time Misty had seen the other woman's elegant script, or even touched something that Valentina had touched.

Kayla's birthday dinner went well. My mother showed up on time, dressed to the nines as usual. My dad worked for the railroad during the depression and found my mother in South Carolina.

Corinne and I continued working together after the "millennium" came and went, and even when the real millennium came and went. We had gone out to dinner several times, but we never took it any further than goodnight kiss. I think that she sensed that I was really falling for her and was probably afraid of things going wrong and hurting me. I also believed...
Shit....this suit is very tight, I am going to have serious chaffing and quite possibly red marks across my body. Why did I have to eat pizza at lunch? I have clearly put on a few pounds. Alright... fine, tomorrow I will join the gym and try and lose a few pounds. After all a girl in my position cannot afford to get fat. My auntie Suha is large as a whale an...

"And a hearty 'Bah, Humbug' to you too." "Your usual?" "I'm anything if not predictable," he said. Cindy Lou poured Worcestershire sauce and Tabasco on top of the ice in the tall glass and re...
Kathy Lee (Nurse from Harborview Medical Center)- "Good morning dear how are you feeling this morning?" I ask walking into the hospital room. The patient in the bed doesn't respond. She never has in the last 10 years of her being here in the hospital. Our resident Jane Doe has been in a coma since she arrived. The grime day sits on my mind as if it was ju...
