As a freshman at a small rural college, being shy is not helpful in meeting people. I'm 19 years old, barely leave my dorm room, and am still a virgin. I suppose if people actually talked to me they would think that was funny. But to be honest, most people assume I am anyways. I'm not that bad looking. My few female friends have said I'm pretty cute, but I...
Lay down your weapons and pick up your water guns. Ready? Aim. Fire. Under the second Amendment, the right to bear arms, one of the reasons given for owning a gun is because it's in our constitution. Yet, as if that's the limit to our constitution, I dare say that the 2nd amendment, for all the wrong reasons, is the one amendment most quoted behind the firs...
Okay, finally getting around to rewriting my first attempt at writing a story. In the defense of my first attempt, it was my very FIRST attempt so of course it sucks compared to others on this site. That having been said, any and all comments are still wanted, though the more constructive the more wanted and welcome. ************ Brian sat watching his bob...
There comes a point in many writers' careers when they reflect on what they pen and why. I am at that point right now as I type this document. Perhaps you, the reader, are there with me.

Chapter 5: Hell to Pay It's Thursday morning, and the sun is just peeking over the horizon. Dan is already up and outside on the patio enjoying a cup of coffee while watching the sunrise. There is a fantastic transformation that occurs as the night turns into the day at the ranch. The blackness of night slowly gives way to shades of grey as the Earth's term...
Any hopes and plans I'd had for the next morning didn't survive once someone started pounding on the front door. I shot straight up out of a deep sleep and fell off the bed. I lay on the floor, blinking at the ceiling in confusion until Ty slipped out of bed much more smoothly than I had and helped me up. "Have I mentioned how graceful you are?" he asked wi...
CHAPTER 33: EVE & STEVE'S ROAD TRIP Eve immediately offered her services as driver to make the 135 mile trip along the M6 to Windermere. Which raised the question of who would look after Ivan. His grandparents would be away in Benidorm the week of the charity launch so it looked as though our only option was to take him along. Then Sorrel - bless her, offer...
Prologue: This is the story of Divya, a typical Indian woman whose life changed rapidly and in unimaginable ways within a couple of years. Let me start at the beginning. Divya was born in a small town in Madhya Pradesh in a conservative middle class household. From childhood, Divya was recognized as very good looking. She was fair-skinned, had thick straig...
It was a cool, balmy day, the kind of afternoon where the echo of the wind through the trees seems to make a haunting melody. Mother Nature was playing a tune that could capture the soul, chill the mind, and soothe the spirit if you listened to the whir of the breeze carefully enough. The currents of autumnal air flowed through the forest, as well as through...
I watched Alicia get off the subway and almost didn't recognize her at first. I was expecting to see her in her professional clothing, but she had on dark jeans, brown boots that stopped just below the knee, and an orange top that was shaped like a triangle and hung off one shoulder.
