My apologies to my followers of this series. Sorry it has taken me so long to continue on this story. I lost the original writings that I had for this series and I had to start over on the 3rd chapter. I've had a lot going on over the years and I think I am finally going to be able to be back in the saddle for a little bit. My main computer took a dive and I...
Yes, the title is exaggerated, but you're reading, aren't you? I must say, though, for the most part, terrorists are not the brightest lights in the night sky. Think about it. I can plan a better terrorist attack than any of these bozos. For example....You want terror? Screw blowing up the World Trade Center—over fifty thousand people worked there, and...
This is a sequel to 'The Old Fellah Needs a Hand'. I rang the doorbell but there was no answer, so I fished out from the pocket of my denim skirt the key I'd been given. The apartment was deadly quiet, I began to fear the worst. My neighbour was a very old man, after all. The phrase 'kicked the bucket' slid unwanted into my mind as I closed the front door....
Alone in our hotel room after a sleepless night, I was trying to come to grips with the events of yesterday. Funny, what had been such a turn on yesterday when my reason was numbed by lust; had during the night turned into great concern for my Heather's safety. After all, what does a man expect when he pays over $5,000,000 for a woman? What will he do to her...
The cabin was much as Grandpa had described it, on a peaceful lake, surrounded by woods, and with Adirondack furniture on the porch. What he didn't describe very well was the interior, which contained two well-worn cots with stained sheets, a wobbly table with four rusty folding chairs around it, and a kitchen that included, amongst other things, an old man...
Carson had offered me a place to stay before we headed back for his car. He lamented the crappy hotel and said it didn't have to be his bedroom I stayed in. I appreciated the offer, but thought that might smother our budding relationship. Besides, I would get paid in a week and, combined with my savings, finally be able to get my own place. "I wouldn't mind...
"Uh, hey." Jen said back. "Um, lets go upstairs Eddie," Ella grabbed him by the arm and pulled him towards the stairs. "No!" Jen protested weakly. "You two need to talk." Ella told her before heading upstairs, tugging Eddie after her, who sent a look to Daniel that Jenifer couldn't read. When they were gone, she felt herself have a mini panic attack. Dan...
Implacable Icarus Copyright 2003 Not for children. It was one of those hot mid august days. A day when you sweat in the shower and the grit collects on the back of your neck the moment you leave your apartment. I was on 79th and Lex, just emerging from the subway when I saw her. Just to clarify, there are many beautiful women in New York. But she, well s...
He sank down into his favourite chair in his study. It had been a good day of sailing with a brilliant blue sky and an ocean as clear as any crystal. He drew the ottoman closer and kicked off his deck shoes. He rubbed the smooth worn leather of his chair affectionately, sliding his fingers beneath the arms. It had been a comforting friend to him in many a lo...
I called my best friend and told him I was tired of playing on line chess together all night and that I’d pay for the pizza if he came over and played in person for once. He agreed and said he’d bring the wine. You can take the boy out of California but you can’t take the California out of the boy. One of these days I was also going to have to admit that I d...
