I close the door locking it behind Jess and Tom, the last of the guests from Katy's birthday party. With a sense of dread I turn around to survey the damage. My apartment looks like the aftermath of a college frat party. Empty bottles of beer and wine, my dining room table covered in half empty plastic cups and spilled beer. Katy's already cleaning up, her...
Halloween allows some of us to become more care free and show off a bit more than they normally would. A few years back my husband, her best friend and I decided to attended the annual Halloween party put on by the local Shriners. If you have ever been around those guys you know what a hoot that can be. There was a contest as well and we wanted to win so we...
Passion in James County XVI Martin Flannigan, Ann Wallin's next door neighbor, was standing at his kitchen counter making coffee when he saw the big blonde man leaving Ann's house. "Looks like Ann had another, ah, guest, again last night," he thought and shook his head sadly. "What's going on with that girl? What makes a pretty woman like her act like that?...
[This isn't a sex story. There is a little sex in the story. This is a story about a Bully and how a family handled the threat. It could happen this way. If you think there was/is a better way to handle the Bully, write the story. I'd like to read it.] "Did Jackie talk to you about the Bully?" Xia asked her husband. "What Bully?" Matt looked up fro...
I walked through the house in a daze and went out into the back yard again. I needed to try and eat something to settle my stomach and get my nerves under control while I waited for Susan to return. I was at the food table trying to decide what foods my stomach could handle when I heard a voice behind me. It took me a minute to realize the voice was directed...
Rachel called and asked if I wanted to come out and play, and I said sure, why not. We agreed to meet at the food court, so I sorted myself out and headed over there. I walked from my place, and when I arrived, I saw her sitting there, on her own, with her back to me. She was wearing a short blue skirt and a white short sleeved blouse with pockets over her...
Chapter Eight: A Foretaste of Damnation He must have thought he killed us both. He should have. I am Anne. I betrayed my husband. And in the end I was unable to stop my betrayal. He found out, of course. He killed my lover. He almost killed me. Then he killed himself. No. I killed him. I know. I have no right to live on. But I do. I could annoy you wit...
Once again, rushing off for meetings in Virginia, I caught the early Monday morning flight to Washington's Reagan Airport. Except for the early time, it was a flight I had taken dozens of times in the past, one that I would take many more times in the future. This particular flight was a bit different, perhaps it was the early time or maybe it was just a slo...
Twelve O'clock the alarm blinked every second. I rolled over and saw a picture of James. Why him? Why Him, why him?!? I think it is more like why me. I thought he was the perfect roommate; everyone said I had nothing to worry about. He was always willing to spring for pizza or a flick. So why did I fall for him? How could he do that to me? Most of all,...
