Violet stood outside the Carver Hotel in the dark. Shielding her eyes from the lamp overhead, she looked up at the monolithic structure. It was apparently quite old and quite ornate. Inside, her would-be assassin, Elene, awaited her. She hoped she wasn't walking into a trap. She could turn around right now and walk away. Strangely, she sensed that she needed...
Disclaimer: This is a work of fiction concocted entirely within my imagination. Any resemblance to real people shouldn't be surprising since most of my stories are based on people I know. While I hope you enjoy this story and are compelled to provide feedback, I don't expect the subject matter will appeal to everyone who reads it. As such, I discourage venom...
It was late at night. The lights were off, the TV was off, and every thing was dark and quiet in the house. Listening closely you could hear the tick tock of the big clock, the hum of the fridge motor, and the occasional click of a computer mouse. Beyond the small night lights scattered around the house, the only visible light was the eerie glow of the compu...
"Mr. Walsh would like you to join him in his office," Darla's syrupy voice called from the speakerphone. "I'll be right in." I made a stop in the men's room in route. Blue tie, white shirt, my look was appropriate but not overly stylish. I rebuked Danna's suggestion and went with what I would normally wear because this was a normal day. I didn't want to le...
Daryl was excited. He had invited his dream girl to a Halloween party and she had said yes. When he had asked, he wasn't sure what she'd say as they had never actually met. They had begun talking online and had learned they had a lot of things in common, especially a perverted mindset, and a crush on the same 2 female celebrities, Britney Spears and Jennifer...

Then they walked along the winding path passing shop after shop till they reached the lower river entrance to the hotel. When Angel's floor sounded in the elevator, she turned to Gary and...
Everything was set for the party tonight. The coffee table had over a dozen DVDs strewn across it, there was popcorn, chips and other snacks on the counter in the kitchen, but above all the refrigerator was stocked full. Wine coolers for the lightweights, beer and Schnapps for the moderates, and for the ones who really knew what they liked, there was vodka,...
Summary: For all their cunning and intelligence, women who are "wild" are actually quite fragile emotionally. So when Natalie's fiancee did not turn out to be all as she thought he was, an ex walks into her life and reminds both her and himself who she was before sobriety. (Cleanliness is over rated), Natalie concluded as she looked around her bedroom from...
I tossed and turned all night...alternating between anticipation and nervousness of the forthcoming day. I was going to spend the day aboard a sailboat, with a man I hardly knew. Not exactly a situation where one could just walk away if it turned sour. Let's see if I can explain this so you would understand. Recently, I went to a meeting of a group that I h...
Note: So this one probably isn't as good as my others standing alone. It was mostly written as a continuation of the first one. Therefore, there's no build up or tension build or anything. It kind of jumps right into it. I highly recommend reading (or rereading) the first one to kind of get yourself in the mood of the story. However, if you don't want to g...
