* * * Samantha's eyes snapped open: Green, and large, and oh-so-startled. For a moment, she wasn't sure what had disturbed her. Her curly red hair threatened to hang across her face as she reached for her glasses. Her heart hammered away in her chest. Two beats. On repeat. Thump, thump. Thump, thump. Thankfully, the world came into focus and Sammy's...
Hi Everyone! As always, you guys are the best ever! All the reviews, votes and just knowing people are reading and enjoying makes my day in ways I can't even begin to describe. Enjoy! Psyche b 22. Scars... Kelly looked up at Victor, afraid that if she took her eyes off of him that he would disappear and she would be back in the darkness that had held he...
A bit about the house I grew up in. It was one among many rows of identical boxes built after the war; an anonymous place with no obvious character, in an estate on the outskirts of a town in sharp industrial decline. My favourite room was the attic! I'd climb up there and pull the ladder up behind me, guaranteeing I wouldn't be disturbed. Mother liked to...
It was Christmas 2005. I sat on the lounge floor with my sister surrounded by family and friends. The Christmas tree sparkled and after our dinner we had gathered round the tree to open our presents. As I felt Aunties soft parcel Mum whispered in my ear. 'Be grateful for what ever you receive. We all know Aunties a bit kooky. I've no idea what she's bought y...
I didn't realize how tired I really was until the alarm went off at 9:00 a.m. on Tuesday morning. Having gone to bed the night before at 11:00, I had slept ten straight hours without interruption. Given the activity of the last few nights, I certainly needed the rest. I put myself together and made it to the DelTex office by 10:00, finding all the necessary...

My father left my mother and me when was only five. It was not the big deal that people made it out to be. My home life was as healthy as any other. That is until I got a new father, well step father. My mother remarried when I was in JR high. She married a nice man. Unfortunately that nice man had a not so nice daughter. My step father was always so proud...
I hit a bit of writers block so I grabbed an old half completed story and started back on it. This is the result. I am not the greatest at transcribing the stories as the flow from my mind. While I have given this piece a once over, I am sure that I missed something. If I did I am sorry and I hope that it doesn't pull you out of the story to much. *********...
The story continues... I was sitting in the kitchen chair looking at Dan sitting in his recliner. Greg was sitting on the couch, with only a towel wrapped around him. I guess Greg and I were waiting for Dan to talk first since Tammy was gone. "You really just met that chick?" Dan asked Greg. "Yeah man. We had our first date last night. I fucked her all ni...
April 2003 Joyce, her friend from the office, had recommended the hotel in Bermuda. She and Colin had renewed their vows there the year before... Joyce had raved about the margaritas, the nightlife, the quality of the service...Colin had described the golfing set-up as first-rate, if a little prosaic. Then they'd made us sit through the whole video of the...
