It's funny how small things can change your perspective. In my case, it was a single ray of sunshine coming through a gap in the tattered curtains that didn't quite cover the window to the apartment. It was a bright early autumn morning, around 8, maybe 8:30, one of those days that makes California truly golden. First, it caught my eye, waking me up from a...
** Please read my disclaimer as part of my biography for a better understanding of this story. Diana Ross was, and still is, a world wide, multi-million selling record artiste. She conquered the world in the 1960's as part of Mowtown's all girl group 'The Supremes' and then cemented her world domination as a solo artiste in the 70's and 80's notching up a...
Chapter One I got home from work last Wednesday and the light was flashing on the machine. Probably someone who wanted to know when I was going to make my overdue payment. The voice was hesitant, but that Chicago accent was definitely Linda's. She wanted to know if I was cousin Pete, said she didn't want to go into anything on the machine, but if it was me,...

Sharon had been afraid that day in the shower. She was afraid when she made the appointment. Doctor Chin's cold hands had poked and squeezed, and brought to mind her manner of selecting a ripe tomato from its siblings in a grocery display. The monotone explanation and discussion did nothing but fan the flames that licked at her sanity into a raging inferno o...
An account of what you should never do, have sex with your ex. * It was odd really; well I found it odd and sometimes wondered whether others would as well. However, they couldn't, for I didn't tell them, I didn't tell anyone, I didn't share that part of my life with another soul. I was married to Kevin for thirteen years and was with him in total for alm...

HARD PASSION: The Chronicles of Erica Bradson. Chapter 4. Agreed Ownership A wonderful tune of classic music sang in my ear, the strong bitter red wine put me in a relaxing mood, the tasty food on my plate kept me asking for more as I gently ate it, and my eyes praised the decorated white dinner table. It was nice being invited over for dinner at the Harp...
My name is Michael. I used to have another name, but that was long ago before the Change. I had never believed in werewolves, witches, vampires and such. There were enough real life monsters on TV and walking the streets. There was no need of anything more to scare a sensible person. I was a loner after I left the Army, never quite fitting in with civilian...
