Besides, the end of this story is much nicer than what likely happened. *** In the story Millie is...
Diane walked home from the grocery store, with her usual bag of Friday evening groceries: celery, three apples, a box of low-fat triscuits and some microwaveable entrees. She had an addition purchase, a pound cake that had been in the day old bin. Diane was rather regular in her shopping and eating habits, but she thought for half off, she could afford a pou...
I sit at my desk day-dreaming about where to go on my vacation; there are so many places I want to see. I have been saving up for over five years now, so I can afford to go anywhere I wish too. It's a toss-up from--Hawaii, the Virgin Islands, England, or Australia. It's hard to decide so I table the subject for now; I can chose later when I am at home. Whe...
Taiohae, a small village located on Nuku Hiva, the largest island in the Marquises (a.k.a. Marquesas) islands, and the archipelago's capital, was the cruise ship's last port of call. Like many other tourists onboard the ship, the exotic locales of French Polynesia drew me like a magnet. We had our far more famous predecessors. There was Paul Gauguin, the p...

"Dad, how come you have never taken us to Maui? "It didn't take long to talk my dad into taking the family to Maui. We had never been there, and my mom and dad had always talked about going 'some day'... so my parents seemed honestly surprised at my eagerness for a family trip. We had grown more distant in the last few years... I despised them for living the...

It was the summer after his junior year at college; Josh had just turned twenty-one, and he was looking forward to a real vacation. Parties, girls, and legal booze—he was eager to visit the bars and especially the dance club...
Jen and I had a very happy first eight and one half years of marriage. We seemed compatible in every way – especially in the bedroom. She was as tender as a lamb, and as sweet as honey, yet she could suck the chrome off of a trailer hitch and fucked as well as any call girl (at least the three I had used before we were dated and I was on long lonely business...
Sated, sighing contentedly, you put the empty fruit platter on the wicker bedside cabinet. The heady bouquet of the mangoes barely ascends in the humid tropical monsoonal night air where the faithful ceiling fan struggles valiantly to stir the gelatinous atmosphere. Two empty wine bottles neck on the floor beside the tallboy. Thus ends formal celebrations f...
