Once the first draft is complete there will probably be a general update to the entire story where I publish second drafts. * Chapter 2 Natalie rode Nimrod down the dusty desert road, a feeling of un...

My family, especially my brother, enjoys watching me squirm and fidget bec...
WARNING/TRIGGERS: In this book, I slaughter some sacred cows of our culture: 1) Madonna/Whore - A mother has every right to be as sexual as she wants...as long as she keeps the dirty behind closed doors. Dirty = the main show, the act...not all signs of love, affection and normalcy. 2) Old people make damned good lovers too - As our society ages, we need...

Surprisingly many days had passed by without any major incidents and I was happy that I managed to keep my normal schedule, that I succeeded in doing all the things I was told to do, the right way and on time, even though I was stuck in thoughts almost all the time.
