Every year I take a trip up the coast in early summer. I use this time for rest, recreation, and renewal by the sea. If I am in a relationship I will bring my partner, sometimes I am accompanied by a buddy or fuck-buddy. This year the drive up was uneventful. I stopped at a couple of small wineries along the way, made some purchases and had them shipped hom...
Paula is a small town girl from upstate New York. Like so many she moved to the city soon after high school with a girlfriend to find employment and "just maybe" be discovered for acting on Broadway. She was the perfect daughter in a perfect middle class family. She had earned all "A's" and been the star in all her high school plays. Now, she is beautiful, s...
"Great game guys, thanks." I was dripping wet. I'd come to the park to shoot a few baskets before it got crazy hot. Just when I thought it was time to call it a morning a couple of guys asked to play a little one on two. If you don't know the game, two defenders versus one with the ball, only the "one" can score, lose the ball due to defense or missed shot...
Dear Jeff, By the time you read this I will have left you. I know this is kind of cheesy leaving you a Dear John letter, but I knew there would be a horrible scene that I frankly just don't want to face. Consider me a coward if you like , but I can't face the hurt I know I'm going to cause you. You see I got bored. I'm bored living the same routine way we'...
It was early April when I returned to the house I had spent my entire life in, up until the previous September. I had gone to college on the other side of the country and had been incredibly homesick for the small town I grew up in, a place I had hated until I had to leave. I missed my friends, my neighbours, my parents especially, and I was incredibly excit...
I awoke early this Saturday morning, just like I did every other morning. Not having an active social life left plenty of time for "early to bed, early to rise." Don’t get me wrong, I very much wanted an active social life, but I was shy. To tell the truth, I was painfully shy at times, especially those times when meeting or socializing with girls was on the...
The Queen of Hearts Alvin woke up in the big four poster bed. He rolled over and reached for the pillow on the other side of the mattress. He buried his face in it while he cleared his head of sleep. Something seemed just a little bit off this morning. He sniffed the pillow and realized that it just smelled like a pillow. For years, he had clutched it befor...
The car slowly backed out of the driveway, leaving the neighborhood for the main road that would eventually lead to the interstate. Julia turned to her boyfriend in the driver's seat. "How do you think it went?" she asked. Ben smiled. "I think it went very well." They were making their way back after a weekend at Ben's parents' house, and Julia had been ne...
"I don't care where the boy's worked, or who he's worked with! D'ya get that, Bennie?! He could be Johnny fucking Cash and it wouldn't excuse this shit. I wouldn't care if he was rookie enough to make this kind of amateur error. I work with your studio because your studio is professional, and...and sonically effective. This...recording is too nice a word...i...
This is a work of fiction. Any resemblance of this story to real people or places is purely coincidental. ***** In the shade of a tall black cherry tree, a warm spring breeze lifted the scent of tulip, daffodil and hyacinth in the air. Wooden chairs, carried out the side door of Witness To The Rapture Church, were placed carefully in a circle. The close pr...
