It had been one hell of an eighteen month roller coaster ride. I was living in my own soap opera. Me? I'm Robert Courtney Abbott. A forty-eight year old successful business man, married for twenty-six years to Beverly Abigail Abbott, nee Sterns and with two children; Robert Courtney Abbott, Junior (affectionately called Deuce) and Stephanie Anne Abbott. My...
This is a flash story. It's a one off and everything you need to know is in it. ***** Larry's final gift to his wife People are very different. As I am in my 6th decade (Holy Shit Batman! How the fuck did that happen?) Other boomers and I have begun to deal with mortality issues. (For now forget about Viet Nam and that draft. If you weren't affected by it...
It has been three months since I had my little encounter with Jamie. Afterwards, I told him I needed time to think, so I picked up my wedding ring and went back to my old life. And now I'm wondering f I did the right thing. Mike is off sitting in a bar somewhere, and I'm home alone. Not that it really matters, every couple years, we get into what Jamie cal...
Dear Diary Here is my full report! Greg is sound asleep now, even though it is daylight out, and Megan is in her room playing with her dolls. I am so sore though, and I really need to sleep. I've got a full pot of coffee on for Greg and I, even though he probably won't wake up for awhile. Anyway here is how it all turned out. I left the house and took th...
She should have left well enough alone. Never realizing how good she had it, a bitchy, spoiled wife wants more and gets less. My Dearest Isaac, With you always so busy, instead of talking to you in person, which is what I'd prefer to do, I'm writing this letter to you because we see one another so infrequently lately. Moreover, with so much to discuss and...
My wife, Priya, has always been a slut at heart. She plays 'Ms. Goodie Two Shoes' when I talk about threesomes and swinging, claiming that she's not ready or that it's all too complicated, but recently, I've discovered that's a load of horse shit. And truth be told, I'm digging it. About goddamn time. Priya is a potter. Her true passion is ceramics and it's...
After a long night on Friday, I finally got some much needed sleep Saturday morning, I managed that between a buffet breakfast, an hour at the hotel gym and the time between a wedding we had to attend later that day. I made it clear to E, my husband, that I'd need a lot of time to rest and get ready, alone. Hubby promised he'd go for a big walk by himself t...
I open the garage door and feel the bitter chill of the Denver morning breeze. Moving around the car I hit the trunk release on the remote and place a small suitcase inside. As I back out of the driveway, the clock signals to me it is 4 AM. I turn onto 120th going east heading to the airport for my 6 AM flight out to Chicago. As I drive into the darkness all...
It is such an irony (at least for me), I now do not wish to have the one thing that decided my fate. It is said "Its all in the mind". But beware a few things have the strength of overpowering it. I know of two such potent things, the first one being alcohol which my mind can handle (or maybe my mind doesn't know coz I am all drunk and dozing). The second on...
There was much excitement as they sat at the end of the runway, awaiting clearance to take off. It was their first holiday as a family, and the first time that Alice and Chloe had ever flown. Greg had been impressed at the way the airline staff had handled Chloe and her wheelchair, laughing and chatting to her as they expertly manipulated the chair onto the...
