Alice and Terry's escapade on the Common. Chapter four if you all remember concluded with the principle characters other half sharing Alice's bed. Terry now suffering from brewers wilt was in the spooning position tucked in behind our Alice. Both parties with their eyes closed dosing off because they were in a we-can't-go-on state. 'What on earth is that,...
Art Lovers II -- Charlotte's Diary 25th March 1867 Dear Diary, There is something odd about Cousin Constance's demeanour of late. When she believes no one is watching her, she sometimes wears a most mysterious smile, and it is driving me quite to distraction. Much as I love her dearly, Connie can be such a tease, and I am sure she is greatly amused by my...
I had not realised how much I was victim of my childish arrogance until I met Denise. I had been used to being one of the two or three prettiest girls in school, and, being good at games, a bit of a leader. In fact, I must confess that when Mary Holland was made Head Girl instead of me, I was filled with jealousy. I kept it well hidden up to the time when...
They broke up on the train. Trains push his memories to the surface. All the trips into the country as a child. All the trees passing by, leaves changing to red and gold. The city fades fast, faster then you can imagine. It is so small compared to the stretches of country to the Jersey Shore, to Upstate, to Boston and Maryland and DC. Looking at Maggie, h...
Jack sat in the living room watching Jan on cam as she reclined in bed on top of the covers, waiting patiently for 'cyber' Lisa to appear.

Jan would tell 'cyber' Lisa she had confirmed that her 'lover' Fred would be in Miami, and they we...
She'd gone and done it. She dropped the bomb, the "L" bomb. How the hell did this even happen? He was acting weird, she could already tell. Running his hands through his hair, shifting his weight from foot to foot, but most of all avoiding looking at her, looking into her eyes in particular. His face was stricken, he looked shocked, confused and lost all a...
Thanks to Linda2953 for taking the time to edit this story for me and make it a much better read. Have you ever sat down and thought about a moment in time? Something or some time, which has stayed in your memory forever. I'm not talking about a wedding or a death in the family. Those are things we all remember. I talking about something insignificant to mo...

Cassie stood on the balcony, watching the rain fall from the darkened sky. It made a soft cascading noise that felt vaguely comforting. She inhaled another puff from her cigarette and exhaled it just as easily. Cassie took another moment to think back on some of her past experiences. Sure, there were men that had stirred some feelings within her. There were...
They arranged to meet in the bar. He was to arrive first, book in and pay for the hotel, buy some drinks - double gin and tonics - and wait for her to arrive. They had selected the hotel together, in town, not too expensive but nice enough so that it felt special. They hadn't decided whether both of them would stay overnight; having not met before they had...
