She was not sure about this. Actually, she was about as far as one could be from sure. The sensation of sweat forming on her brow tickled, and it fogged her goggles. The mere fact that she was warm was something she was not prepared for. After all, she was standing well over five thousand feet above sea level on a mountain covered in 20 inches of brand new s...
Through the fog of sleep, Kate could hear the faint sound of water splashing. As she became more awake she remembered hearing a similar sound after coming home late last night. She'd checked around but had found nothing. Of course she was more than a little tipsy at the time, having been partying with her best friend Angie all weekend. Angie had been there f...
Dan pondered, was Mae's drunken challenge worth taking? In the brief silence in the conversation Dan looked out at the lights twinkling across the bay and at the harsh street lights of the harbour were reflected down the coast. The gentle verbal sparring continued on the now moonlit sea front seat outside the Mae's flat on the empty promenade. Dan smirked a...

It was a warm and sunny day. Agla had been up hiking in the mountains, enjoying the quiet and solitude of the hills. She loved the atmosphere, being all by herself, letting herself be drawn in by the majestic presence of the age old monuments of earth's history. Silent, powerful, jagged, a times even a hint of threatening, and always making her feel a little...
1:15am Dear diary, it's me Austin again. So I've been having these weird dreams. Okay they're not weird, but they all seem to involve my best friend Nicole. Yes the same Nicole I always talk about. See every since the wine tasting, she's been heavy on my mind. This is starting to get weird. So far we've been able to handle the limo ride with no problems, al...
Cat couldn't get Evan out of her head. She had been trying since the moment he walked away from the café table the previous night. "Damn" she muttered as she stood up from the kitchen table in her apartment. She walked to the refrigerator to get chilled water. She leaned against the cabinet and stared at the drawing pad on the table. The beginnings of a ci...
This is my entry for the Christmas holiday contest. Hope you all enjoy it. * She was beside me, using one of the rowers in the gym. Her name is Jully and we've been friends since high school. It was only recently that we began working out together. Though it was December, she still had a remarkable tan. Her dark brown hair was tied in a ponytail. I still r...
When the last of the coherent drunks wandered home and the basement became a den of stumbling, shambling wrecks, Indie, sweat matting his short blond hair and soaking through the back of his black t-shirt, led Paul up the unfinished wooden stairway back to the first floor of his frat house. Summer heat had chased the party underground, but in the living room...
His Temptation – The house was dark, the main room only lit by the flickering of the many candles she so loved. The TV was off, the forlorn Playstation 3 resting beside it, unused and unloved for the evening's entertainment. In the distant kitchen the remains of the evening meal, lovingly prepared by the both of them had been washed and cleaned away, as wa...
