Part 3 in the Black's Magic series * "Don't you dare hang up on me, April." Daniel tried to keep his eyes on the road as the female beside him gripped her cell phone more tightly, holding it directly in front of her face, screaming into the mouthpiece, hot flashes of anger lighting her violet eyes. He knew it wasn't funny, and he tried not to laugh, but t...
Note 1: Thanks to Jasmine, Atikov for their helpful suggestions and wonderful editing of my first story. I can't thank you enough. Note 2: Special thanks to Jasmine whose stories inspired me to write one of my own. * It had been a hellish week with thirty plus hours of overtime. As I leaned back in my chair, I plopped my feet on my desk and thought: 'TGIF...
INTRODUCTION: Here it is, the final part. I hope you've all enjoyed the ride. There are some questions still unanswered with a few of the characters, of course, but I've got to leave something for future stories, right? Please take the time to comment. I'm really curious to see how you all feel about how this turns out. Thanks again! CHAPTER NINE They...
The three women pushed through the exit doors of the Sound Bar, weaved their way through the lines of people awaiting entry, and hailed a cab as an L train, sparks cascading from beneath its undercarriage, lumbered across the tracks above.

Eric's Discovery The scene before me was majestic, as perfect as a Norman Rockwell painting. The sky was full of pastel blues, pinks and oranges. No one but me would ever see it, which was, in some ways heart breaking. Things become complete when they are shared, yes? In the same way love between two people becomes whole, complete, when it is shared. The s...
This story was edited by "Crazysoundguy". In 1981 Dan Fogelberg wrote and later recorded a song included on the album, "Innocent Age" called, "Same Old Lang Syne". I recall hearing it possibly for the first time while driving home one evening from a business meeting; I also remember damn near driving off the road and wrecking my car. Still about a hundred m...
"I now pronounce you man and wife." Zachary Crane applauded with the others as Meredith Trinette Levine—well, Meredith Trinette Chambers now—threw her arms around her husband and kissed him soundly. Across the dais, Christa Sternbacher grinned, clapping as best she could around her bridesmaid's bouquet; behind her, Arie had simply tucked hers un...
Anyone portrayed as having sex is 18 or older This story is similar to thousands of others in the Romance category and yet different from anything I've read so far, although there may be older stories I haven't read. It involves two young people with abnormal conditions that are not painful physically, but they certainly cause emotional distress and the...
Authors Note: I appreciate all your kind words- romance isn't something I usually do. There will be more to come from this series, stay tuned. *** I wasn't particularly sure how, but I had been awoken from a pleasant nap by Ken. I'm sure it was from the noise he made around the room- he wasn't particularly graceful in his movement nor was he careful in kee...

He found a wife who was ecstatic to see him, as well as a daughter who'd grown up in the time he'd been incarcerated. Unfortunately, not all were overjoyed by his presenc...
