Rosanna had walked five blocks before she found herself stopping and slowly turning around to see if Sol was still standing there. Why? Why did she care? She didn’t. She let out a low moan. Solace had already gone. What did it matter? Mattie was expecting her for dinner and she definitely did not want to be late. That was another trait they shared—punctualit...
It was a real stupid move on Dan's part. A bonehead play actually. He thought that even though the gas guage read empty; he figured that he could make it home this friday evening. He even cut through a high class subdivision to lessen the travel time. But; luck was not with him. "Damn it all! I knew I should have stopped for gas at that last station!" He wa...
Gold left the town hall and went directly to the sheriff's station. Regina was as everyone had left her, pacing in one of the cells. She was for now the town's prisoner, but he was hoping she'd soon be just his. "Well, here you are." He smiled as he found the key to her cell on the desk. "How have things worked out for you?" Regina simply glared at him....
"When we get home, you have to do as I say," Mildred Fils-Aime said, and the forty-something Haitian woman looked at the tall and handsome, nervous-looking brother who sat on the passenger's side of her Lexus. Antoine Jacques looked good and smelled even better, but he looked about as nervous as a cat in a room full of rocking chairs. Is the brother up to th...
[Positive criticism welcome. This is not affiliated with the UK Open University [although I'm a student of theirs, and if you know it you'll recognize some of the in-jokes ;c)]. "Good evening, everybody. My name is Phil McCloud, and welcome to the first tutorial group for the 'Open University's X137: Beginning Topping'. "It's great to see such a good turno...
I was in the theatre when they came in. I was back in the shadows of the last row so it was really difficult to make me out. I had come to see the recently released Batman movie so I had gone and bought a ticket to see the movie at the new Cineplex. To say I was shocked to see my girlfriend come in with another guy is a big understatement because I was fla...
I had two weeks clear in August after a summer job, and called to see if she was interested in a visit. Seemed like the right thing to do. I wondered whether there had been marriage troubles that drove him into the military. "Yes, please come. It will be good to see you. My relatives have a cabin at a lake in the mountains. I'll take a couple of day's vac...
The hot water felt great on my mud caked naked body. I had been working with my brother and dad dehorning cattle all day long and I stunk like cow poo and mud. Once I was cleaned up and freshly shaven I toweled off and made my way to my bedroom. Upon entering my room I dropped the towel, shut and locked the door and lay down on my bed. The bottom drawer of m...
He was seven years old when he met her, and though she was older, she did not look it. A buzz of rumors preceded her, proclaiming her everything from an axe murderer to a space alien, but when she entered class and silently took an empty seat, he was disappointed to find that she looked perfectly normal, apart from her robotic movements and blank expression....
