The next day was Sunday, and she still had the house to herself. After eating breakfast and reading the paper, she decided to take a drive. She lived in a relatively small city, and it didn't take long to reach the country. She wandered aimlessly for an hour or so, and then found herself in the small town that Robby had moved to when he graduated. She drove...
Passion in James County XVI After Ann called the store, she walked across the lawn between Martin's house and hers, went inside, and began packing. She had a hard time believing all of the things that had happened that day, and were still happening. Martin had found out that Lonnie wasn't in jail, which made her feel a little better. And the fact that her n...
As we drove in the limo to the nightclub, my mind wondered on this whirlwind perfect trip that the Air Force had sent us on. Bangkok, Cancun, Rio, Paris...the list goes on. It seems through some glitch in the cosmic system, we had gotten sent to every hot party spot in the world, with enough time on the ground in between flights to definitely live up the par...
PAST THE POINT OF NO RETURN A week had passed since the incident in the car on the way home. If it hadn't been for the marks on her neck she wouldn't have believed it had happened - she still wasn't a hundred percent sure. Things had gone from bad to worse at home as she finally realised that her husband wasn't interested in her. After a long conversation i...
Home, Nesca was trying to muster the courage to call Professor Giovanni to confirm their lunch date, but doubt assailed her. "Was he serious when he said he wanted to meet me for lunch?" She thought. "Should I even call this guy? Maybe I should just stay home. Yeah I'll stay home, better than being rejected and heartbroken." Her dress slid to the floor. Whe...
I've been doing the "online thing" for so many years it's hard to remember a time when I didn't. Chat rooms, bulletin boards, you name it. I thought I knew all the ins and outs, and frankly, I'd never had a problem with anyone I met in all that time. All these claims about "strangers" online seemed silly to me. This was a community, no different from my own...
In the office of Police Chief Kurt Crewe, his telephone rings idly nearby. Crewe, sitting in his leather recliner, picks the phone from its cradle at the third ring. Crewe hoists the phone to his ear and speaks. "Hello," Crewe begins. "This is Police Chief Kurt Crewe. How may I be of assistance?" "Cut the crap with the formalities," the caller yells. "I ca...
He was right about Sarai. I didn't know how much time had actually passed, but I only got one more serving of gruel and water before she swept into my cell, demon in tow as before. When I heard the door I stood, ready to follow the script I'd decided on for myself as I waited. "Do whatever you want with me, but leave Leigh out of it," I told her. I didn't...
[Author's note: if you ever come up with a story or branch, you can add it. Because it's an option that wasn't quite popular, I decided to make the story public. No revisisons from me, everything can be added, as longs as it doesn't break the site's ToS] A person wakes up from sleep to the sight of a room, different than the one they began their night in. A...
After Piers had said that I could expect problems from Peter Fucking Davies, I just excused myself from breakfast and went up to my suite and phoned Molly. Before she really had a chance to answer I said, "Hi. It's me. Have you heard anything from Peter?" She obviously was not expecting to hear my voice, "Chris! What time is it in Hawaii? No, I haven't hea...
