You've done more than I could ever have expected of you. So I won't lie to you: we cannot defeat their army, the war cannot be won, and I'm sorry to tell you tha...
Mindy stared at the droplets of rain as they ran down the window of the little coffee house with free Wi-Fi. She was waiting for the special website to load so she could change the phone number in her ad to the new 'burner' she picked up. She needed one more "liaison" (she hated the word trick, it made her feel cheap), to make enough to get a room for the ni...
Tiffany decided to sleep at the shelter that night. The heat at the motel was not working, and the shelter was offering food and a place.

So now he was on his honeymoon with Sabina - 30 years his junior. Honeymoon? Horsefeathers! Yes, he'd given her a $2,000 diamond ring (small change for Old Jim), but it...
