The characters in this story as well as the writing are all my own creation, however the basic ideas were adapted f...

It belonged to a doll named Isabella Wyona, as did the bed, the room, and the apartment. She was Caribbean, from a place called Cat Island. A fan dancer down at the Diamond Club and a pretty good one. Her deep brow...

Author’s Note: My apologies on the delay of this chapter. Real life has kept me quite busy. Over the last several weeks, I’ve had to give myself a crash course in using Flash, to get a website up and running, and the prenatal birthing classes have been booked back to back over this month (a baby girl is due in November, the first female born on my side of th...
I'm terribly sorry for the wait on this chapter... I was close to giving it up when I found my computer had obviously eaten it!

Hopefully you'll enjoy :) ~Shadow~ * Dropping exhaustedly onto the stool at the bar in the kitchen, Gypsy groaned. So...
*This story plays fast and loose with Ancient History and Linguistics; be warned* *After 150,000 plus words for One in Ten, I needed a mental respite so I dreamed this up. I wrote the first five chapters in six days. This is a darkly humorous tale* *Thanks to PokingFun for her editing wizardry* *People who forget their past are doomed to be blind-sided by...
I'm declaring a contest of my own... of sorts. If you go to my author's page, I have submitted the first chapter of 3 stories on the same day (10/30/15). I will write and post the next chapter of the highest rated story every week or two (or maybe three) until all the stories are done. These should all be pretty short stories, around 3-4 chapters.

I'm 47, she's 27 -- and I'll call her Danielle. I've known Danielle for fourteen years, ever since she was a thirteen year-old girl in junior high school. Danielle is stunningly attractive. Her b...

I'm 6 years old. A mop of honey coloured Irish blond hair with freckles where the fairies have kissed me. Whorish creatures they may be, given the unlikely spots I've found freckles; cheeky at the very least. I am hiding in a tree house, high up in what I call a lonely tree. It's a type of pine with needled leaves that whine and sigh with each lost breath of...
