I woke up later than usual (around 6:30 for me) to find Jen curled up right next to me. I turned on my side and held her close, "you have absolutely no idea how much I love you sweetheart." I said as I brushed her hair behind her ear (as a gentleman should :b). With her eyes still closed, she gave one of her heart-melting smiles, "I think I have some idea....
"Are you serious?" asked Sam. "Yeah," replied Kara. "That's all she talks about." Sam, Kara, Crissy, and Regina sat in the only four seats that faced one another on the crowded charter bus. They had been talking for hours, trying to pass the time as the miles rolled slowly by on a long trip from Hazard, Kentucky to Orlando, Florida. Eventually, the convers...
Beth leaned heavily against the ancient oak tree. Her heart pounded, and her breath was labored from running. Her eyes were wide with fear. Beth skirted the tree, never relinquishing the security holding its massive trunk provided, and faced the direction from which she had fled. Summoning the courage to peep around the trunk, she looked to see if there was...
Lisa turned and slapped the snooze button on the alarm. Mark reluctantly raised his head to see the time. Five A.M. It was still dark outside. How she could get up so early for work he could never understand. Before she got her new job at the law firm, they were both night owls. Certainly they were not morning people. On weekends, they used to sleep in until...
The sun was low on the horizon and the day would soon be done. The waves that day had been mostly shoulder high, and as I waited for my last ride the sun began to slide closer to the sea. My board rose and fell as each swell passed; I wanted my last ride of this perfect day to be the best. As I sat on my board looking west I measured the line-up marching tow...
This is my first attempt at a story. Hope you all like it. Comments are very welcome. ***** It all started when my wife (Staci) and I had a conversation about how comfortable women's clothes looked and we both laughed and I boldly said, "I would wear women's panties and satin pajamas because they look really comfortable." Now keep in mind that I have alway...

Hannah heard the voices as though through a mist. She wasn't sure where she was or what had happened at first, but as she listened to them talk, she slowly remembered. "Maybe you're right. Maybe I'm insane, but what does it matter? I am truly immortal now. And you... you'll die anyway." "Crazy bitch." "I was honest with you, Cian. You could have had a fe...
Cards A group of us had gone to a conference in LA. There was Aaron, Kevin, Jeff, and myself. Kira decided that she wanted to get away from the heat so she tagged along. Four guys and one woman, a poor ratio or so I thought. After the first day we decided stay in the hotel and all have dinner together. It was nothing fancy so we ended up just in our work...
I had just separated from my wife of twenty-three years, and while we sorted things out, I had moved into a studio apartment. The complex I lived in was unique in that it was actually situated on a hill, in several levels, with drives at each level giving access to the buildings. In my case, the front of my building faced the hillside. The building below me...
