"You know, if Australia doesn't drop the Queen as its Head of State, that is my only concern about possibly moving in with Tanveet in Melbourne. Only in the sense that I don't know how that would impact things, just because she has reserve powers. What if she uses them to help the New Order regime somehow? In principle, however, I would love to move to Austr...
I needed the job really bad, so bad that if I could not have it I would have contemplated suicide, rather than returning to my parents' home in horrid Abbotabad. Islamabad may not have been the most cosmopolitan and happening of cities, but it was Paris compared to the awful village like town my folks called home. And the position, though not all that well p...
Chapter 17 "Oh My God! JACK!" I felt dizzy. The man that was my husband that I thought was dead for nearly fifteen years is standing at my door in front of me. I said, "I can't believe it. They told me you were killed in a helicopter crash." Jack said, "I'm sorry, Nancy to spring myself on you like this but the reports of my untimely demise were greatly...
Last chapter, thanks all. The chaps were even more pleased to see Ron than he was to see them. He first saw Ibrahim leading them out of departures. Yousef was right behind him, then Ibrahim 2 and the others. It had been another early morning flight, but that hadn't stopped them drinking. 'Ronaldinho!' said Ibrahim. Soon they started chanting "Ronaldinho"...
Marcie was nobody's fool, but her inclination for acting stupid threatened to destroy friendships around the club pool. How many times did I demand, "Why'd you do that? You're a college grad married to a Wall Street hotshot." I mentioned the car accident she had recently. "I don't remember," she claimed, sipping her Tom Collins. God, I'd've given up 10 year...
Alright, I can finally admit it to myself. I am a Muslim. I used to be one of those people who felt a strong dislike of Muslims, until I fell in love with one. It's funny how these things happen, huh? My name is Solomon Kingsley Henderson, although many of my friends have taken to calling me "King Suleiman" in recent times. It's my Muslim name, though it's n...
Hello, there. Lucifer Morningstar here. That's right, ladies and gentlemen. You're actually talking to the Devil himself. Relax, I'm not here to cause you any harm. Honest. Cross my heart and hope to die. Seriously, if I wanted you dead, you'd be dead and that's that. No, I'm here to set the record straight once and for all. You see, I've been the victim of...
The C17 touched down and quickly taxied to the dispersal area. As the rear ramp lowered, ambulances reversed up to it to receive the wounded. Robert's stretcher was conveyed to a waiting Bell 206L Long Ranger helicopter, belonging to Sir Royston; the helicopter was painted in the colours of a med-evac aircraft. After loading its passengers and receiving...
Here it is, part two. No sex, a little action, and a lot of fleshing out of the main characters. You'll need this knowledge in the next chapters. ................................................ She stepped of the train, tired, miserable after a two day ride. The heat and humidity hit her like a physical slap. "Who the hell would voluntarily live here?"...
Peter sat in shock as he listened to his fiancée finish her statement. His anger surged through his body. Pete was driving to the show for their regular date when he asked Polly if she wanted to take a week and go camping with him after her college classes ended next month. Polly said, "Pete you know I am leaving the day after classes are over. Shelly, Emma...
