I can't believe I've done 20 chapters of this story and still have so much more to go. Thanks again for the words of encouragement. The comments (both public and private) are super encouraging and I love the ideas (even the ones I don't incorporate). I don't know if there's another 20 to go but we'll see. ***** I woke up the next day to a short text messa...
That evening, Victoria was dressed to kill as she pulled into the parking lots of Millennium, a local nightclub where one could dance to the latest hip-hop music. Tom had leant her his Lexus, making her sign in blood that she would take care of it … just her luck that he was one of those guys who loved his car more than life itself. She couldn’t believe the...

Victoria stretched her arms and yawned idly, the cool Atlantic breeze ruffling her dress. The deep forest, something she'd never seen in England, rustled and quaked. Their Virginian song had played since they day they'd come ashore, and she hoped it'd never end. She traced a circle in the loamy soil, swinging the basket as she leaned against the thick trunk...
Thanks to Robyn for editing and advice. *** I'd known Taylor McFarland for many years, back when she was Taylor Denatalie. I met her in my freshman year at St. Charles when my older brother Bill brought her home to meet my parents.

Normally, the brunch time rush brought with it a cacophony of noise that Ashley didn't have time to dwell over her current situation. The tapping of the metal scoop hitting the counter top to rid itself of the leftover beans, the metal register sliding shut, all of it helpful in cleansing her mind. When passive aggressive coworkers, sarcastically expressing...
Nate cursed savagely under his breath. His bleeding finger was covered in filth and it stung. He sat back and examined his work. The bright yellow daisies framed Adele Tennison's gravestone beautifully. Nate gave the dirt around the roots a few more good pats before standing up. He stared down at his mother's grave, and then looked to his left, to his father...
Victoria awoke to the feel of the warmth of sunlight against her face, her still closed eyes warm in the light. Slightly groaning, she covered her face with her pillow as her mind shred the fuzziness of sleep. Victoria sighed with both frustration and contentment as she pushed the pillow away and opened her eyes. She had been dreaming the most wonderful dre...
