You want to know what happened? Alright. Just try not to interrupt. I need to concentrate. I can remember like it was yesterday. It all started one fall morning when I was sitting at my computer writing. "Thank you, young man," Teresa said, twirling strands of her wavy blonde hair. She looked down at the young, muscular FedEx man, squirming out from under...
I was running out of time, Christmas was fast approaching and I didn't yet have a present for Jenny, my girlfriend of almost 2 years. I wanted something that was perfect, something that made a statement but something that was most definitely not a diamond ring. It's not that I'd never thought of proposing to Jenny, we were at that age where our friends were...
Welcome to Chapter 5 of "Gift." This story began with a pair of lesbian college students living mundane lives on present day Earth has now fully transformed into a sci-fi tale replete with space ships and aliens. I have enjoyed writing all of it, but I recognize the change in scenery may be disappointing for some that enjoyed the poignant, happy love between...
This story is a bit wordy and fairly long, so if you are looking for immediate gratification, you might want to look elsewhere. The following story is a work of fiction. Any resemblance between these character and events and any real person or events is strictly coincidental . . . and pretty darn impressive seeing as it is a science fiction story. Do not re...

Lisa pointed out the window. Alex Myers shook his head and frowned. "I don't see anything, kiddo. Are you sure they said here?" His Toyota careened down the dirt road, slowly...
Author's note: This story takes place following Holly's Winter and Cecee's Spring, but before Vicky's Fall and Oksana's New Year. However, this story was written immediately after Holly's Winter and before any of the others in the series. It should stand as its own complete story. I appreciate comments, feedback and constructive criticism. I Why is it that...
It was four o'clock in the morning and I was sitting on my own front porch minding my own business. Grieving is a solitary business best carried on at night and I have certainly earned the right to grieve. My fifth husband passed away a year ago and I was still dealing with it. You'd think after being widowed five times I'd get used to it or be immune or som...
Thanks to Devir Ginator for his assistance with all the editing. All errors found are mine. Thanks to you, the reader, for voting, commenting and sticking through with this story. More New Girl once this wraps. **** "They're following us in." Michelle said as discretely as she could as we got closer to the ticket office. I reached down and held her trem...
I had been working for a year straight. Our little California startup was blitz-scaling, trying to achieve a dominant position in a new business niche before the competition could get off the ground. At the same time we needed to become profitable before we ran out of seed money. We couldn't waste a minute. It was rewarding but exhausting. Every day was 12 h...
Terror gripped Jessica. "Funky chicken no sauce." Jessica said urgently into her phone. She repeated it a few times before shoving her phone back in her pocket and pulling her gun from her purse. "Get in the car and run Jessica." Mark ordered, "Go!" "You too. Get in the car." Jessica said, "We can both go... Mark!" she screamed not seeing the man with th...
