It was the end of spring when Xavier got his job on the plantation. His prospects had really taken a hit after he'd finish high school a year earlier. Without the money for college, his search for employment had dragged him south of border into Mexico and onto a local plantation just outside of a border town with this seasonal job. Spring gave way to the ho...
The alarm rung. It filled the room with its obnoxiousness. Today wasn't a day for alarms to begin with. It was Saturday. Pam had only set it out of force of habit. Now she regretted it as the evil sound penetrated her ears. Her hand flung over the bed, onto the nightstand, and silenced the damn thing. Pam shoved the covers off, sitting up in bed. She took a...
I finally decided to finish the rest of this little story, the majority of which I wrote a long time ago, since I thought some of you might enjoy reading it. * The weather couldn't have been nicer. Owen was having a great time on his vacation. The weather was beautiful, the women were more beautiful. This resort was absolute paradise. He'd made a date wi...
Johnny pressed his forehead against the cab window. His eyes glazed over, watching the light drizzle of evening rain setting in. This was a long drive. It was especially long because of the situation. Johnny was on the way to the airport. This would be his first time flying alone. He had never flown alone before. His family had put him in the cab and he wa...
It was late into the night. On a deserted country road back a few miles ago my car had popped a tire. With no spare or cell phone service, I decided to take a walk off the road and see if I found any farms or properties nearby. Thinking over my bad luck, this little adventure had started as a road trip on a long weekend from college, now I was soaking wet in...
Ellis stood warily before the judge. His crime was small but this was a small town. Crime was an insignificant concern in Sparklewater. Ellis knew the reason for that was because Sparklewater had the reputation of swift and particularly harsh punishment. So swift in fact that Ellis had been tried and convicted in a matter of days. All that was left was sente...
Everything was going to be perfect. Nathan hummed an upbeat tune to himself as he set the table. His girlfriend would arrive for their dinner in any time now. Nathan checked the food simmering on the stove for the second time in as many minutes. He heard a knock at the door. "Be there in a minute," Nathan called out from the kitchen. He quickly ran a comb...
"How does it look?" My girlfriend spun around, asking how I felt about her new dress. I hadn't gotten this far in our relationship by always telling the truth. "It looks great babe." I could see the reflection of Bridget's frowning face in the mirror. "You don't think it makes my ass look big?" I wish it had. What man truthfully prefers a small ass? I...
Camilla took a few steps out the door of her balcony to get a feel for the temperature. Thankfully it was cool out. It had been a hot day, which meant a cool night was welcomed. She closed the door and pulled out a pair of gold hoop earrings. She was suffering from a mild case of the jitters. There was a date on the agenda tonight with a guy she'd been seei...
A gust of freezing wind blasted across my face. I succumbed to worries of frostbite as I walked aimlessly along the side of the highway. The wind of passing trucks nearly knocked me off my feet. This must have been dangerous. It's something I should have considered. My parents separated about a year ago. It was a tough ordeal. I won't get too much into th...
