Amy blew a strand of hair out of her eyes. Damn it all to hell. Another perfectly good weekend lost. Weren't there whole websites of nature photography out there, free for the taking? Why this mountain? This weekend? She was supposed to be home, damn it. Getting laid. Fat chance of that now. Darren, her pilot boy friend, wasn't the type to understand why Am...
The night beckons. Who am I to refuse its call? Those are the thoughts filling my head as I leap from the Hancock Tower, Boston's Tallest Building and land on my feet on the pavement, seven hundred and ninety feet below. It's times like these that I am grateful for being more than human. Superhuman strength and speed along with accelerated healing and durabi...
Mark had planned this romantic getaway for some time now. He had been meticulous with every detail including the champagne and roses. He had called Susan and told her he would pick her up from work and their evening would begin. He had gotten her an overnight bag and picked out some sexy night attire and a little black dress with perfect shoes to go with it....
It had been a long day getting set up for an evening concert and nothing had gone right. Britney Spears was in a foul mood and no one was escaping her wrath. From the stage manager to the soundman, all were feeling the lash of the teen stars tongue. The last straw came during the sound check. The bass player, a guy named Kevin missed an entry and Britney ble...
Dry Valley Ch. 02 ~ Bucked-tooth Bailey "Ringggg.......ringgggg....." Bailey heard the shrill tone of the phone as she struggled through the front door with two brown bags of groceries. Just as she made her way to the shining counter-top of her small kitchen and picked up the phone, one of the bags toppled over spilling its contents to the floor. "At least...
My name is Greg Samuels. I love my job, and who wouldn't? I'm a specialty writer for TV Guide, and I have gone on the set of many television shows. Also, when stations like HBO do behind the scenes documentaries of movies, they ask me all the time. However, the number of reasons I love my job are great, but there is one reason above all else. The actresses....
It was the day before my birthday, and I had asked Lily to join me at the Detroit Piston's game that night against Chicago. It was hard for Lily to get away, as she was in the process of filing for divorce, and didn't want to cause a stir, or provide ammunition to her abusive husband who had no intention of letting her leave, let alone give her what she dese...
That evening Victoria took special pains to look her best. Tom had booked her into a really nice hotel. The bathroom alone was probably costing him an arm and a leg. It had double black porcelain sinks dropped deep into a dark green marble top. The middle of the marble counter dipped down into a make-up table with a pull-out drawer for storage. On the wall h...
I admit it...my husband has made me watch too much Stargate (SG-1). One of the most common themes is alternate universes. Of course, it is not a theory with which I am unfamiliar. Some of my favourite episodes of Star Trek centred on the same theme. And, of course, my honours high school physics touched upon Einstein's Theory of Relativity. For me, one of m...
That first night she spent on the floor in fear of the unknown finally and thankfully came to an end as she was roused from the light sleep she had involuntarily fallen into by the nudging of his toe in her ribcage. "It's time for you to get up and be fed," he said quietly in a controlled tone as his toe came to rest yet again in her ribs and his knees cra...
