With the help of a pair of silver chased pliers, a pair of tender, snow white hands were working to pull literal gold metal from an expensive stomacher. The stomacher had been adorned with gold weaved, sewn, and looped into the fabric. And now, as a self-soothing exercise, Danetta was removing the gold. She had worn it very proudly at the royal palace. Court...
Chapter 1 As I look back, I feel amazed that I could have put myself into such a state. Me! Robert Douglas, thirty-nine, successful businessman, pillar of the community, and all the rest. Nice house, family, all healthy, OK looking, in short, the personification of the American dream. Everything seemed to be going well for me that summer five years ago, but...
He tried to raise himself up in the bed, the sheets falling down around his chest a bit. His nose was still a bright red, though at least the breathing through his nose was less pronounced, and the coughing had subsided.

Alix sat on the floor of her apartment, a bottle of beer in her hand. Although we had often flirted harmlessly, the way her breasts pressed her pink t-shirt made me want to take things further. "I don't know why it never works out for me," she said. Alix-unlucky-in-love was one of her favorite topics of conversation. "Is there any particular time it starts...
Chapter 01: Coming Home Clarabelle drives home with a bit of a headache. She stops at a stoplight and closes her eyes for a moment. She tries to block out the day; the whining kids, the pathetic excuses, she just wants to get home. She opens her eyes just as the light turns green. After another block, she stops again at a red light. Trying not to let the fr...
I stifled a sneeze for the fourteenth time today. When your nose is shoved beside a dusty floor sweep and you are stuck in that position for around five hours boredom takes on a new meaning, and I thought the life of an industrial intelligence freelancer would be all glamour. Granted that time in Laos getting pictures of Hansra Corperation's CTO with that un...

The disease, which is caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis, was carried by fleas living on the rats that were found in ports and on board ships,...
