Susan pulled her car up to the head-in parking space at the curb a half block from the address she had been given. On her cell, she called the number she had been given, and after a couple of rings, a woman's voice answered, "Hello, is that you, Susan?" "Yes, I'm here, parked a couple of doors down the street." "OK, come on over, knock on the door, and I'...
Dave stole a glance at Lisa's naked legs which were propped up on the dashboard but quickly looked back out of the windshield again, concentrating on the next bend in the road. He'd been driving for some time now and the driving hadn't been easy. Not that there had been a lot of traffic, but the roads here in this part of rural France were narrow and curvy....
He walked through the door of his flat and placed his briefcase in its usual spot. His coat was carefully removed and placed on its hanger, replaced in the hall closet. Anthony was a particular man, he didn't like his name shortened and everything had to be just so. He walked into his minimalistic living room and looked around, giving everything a cursory g...
Donavan Rezsnick was by all accounts a successful man. Just shy of forty he was as fit as he was in his twenties. His six foot two frame carried 195 pounds of mostly muscle. He still had a full head of dark hair that was yet to see its first touch of grey. His dark blue eyes seemed to pierce through people like lasers. He wore a neatly cropped short goatee....
A story inspired by the Nine Inch Nails' 'The Great Below.' I'd suggest listening to it while you read this one! * As the sun was going down, sinking silently into the horizon, I was listening to her explain in her half-angry, half-apologetic tone why she had decided to end our three-month long relationship. When I say 'listening,' I mean that in the loose...
It took Cian a long time to save up for it, and put him in debt for the next ten years, but he finally did it. He finally bought a brand new Jaguar XJ6--a car that was worth what he made in a year as a junior computer programmer for Megatelco in New York City. At least, being single, he had no other major expenses. He arrived home from work Friday night to...
Chapter One: Death, Love and the beginning of it all The relationship between Lewis and his father had been a strong one, so the news that his father's troop had been attacked by bandits was not welcome. He had just arrived at the healer's home after he received a message telling him. The room was small, but comfortably furnished and there was a certain air...
The time between shifts passed the way it always did: without merit. Adrian had a series of mental exercise packets he had found in a used book store. They were similar to the ones the hospital had given him after his accident, perhaps a little harder and varied. The one he was on now had the words "FIFTH GRADE" in big blue bubbled letters across the front....

This is just a one off story that is off to the side of another series I am writing about the guy who takes first place in the race described here. No one in this story is someone you know, they are all made up. All the cars are made up, the people, the animals. This is fiction. It is for fun. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I do.
