I was not, in fact, certain that the esterwine wouldn't affect my ability to load the dishwasher, and if it was anything like the vampire-strength brand, it definitely would. So I cleaned up the kitchen, reminded again of how very naked I was under my loose robe when a droplet of water flicked onto my neck and began to slide unimpeded down my chest. I cinche...
Author's Note: Ugh. UGH. Don't even ask. I know it's been quite awhile and I do apologize. But, I ended up losing this whole damn chapter when my computer got infected with a virus. Yes, people. I lost it ALL and I had to re-write it ALL. Ugh. -_- BUT! Here it is, at last. I hope you enjoy it. As always, comments and critiques are welcome and enjoyed in...
Freedom Summer, they called it, the summer when three civil rights workers were murdered by a mob of Ku Klux Klansmen. It was the summer after The Beatles splashed on to the American cultural scene and the summer of the '64 New York World's Fair. It was the summer when Congress passed the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, and and the summer before Lyndon Johnson's...
The first couple of lines of the early 1960s upbeat song "If You Wanna Be Happy" by Jimmy Soul, had been running through mind for the last few days since Sydney moved out, at my request.

It's ok; it is my wife's headstone. My name is Vinnie Pergolizzi and I'm a mob boss. I tried to trace the letters of her name, but my bladder ran out first. Marle...
Dear Dirty Diary In the second week of October, a furnace inspector informed Louise we needed a new fuel oil tank and pointed out that the current furnace could never heat our attic apartment. A heating contractor quoted $15,800 for a new high efficiency unit with central air conditioning. The bed and breakfast income had been nominal at best for our first...
Tia Blake. The warm body in my bed turned, and I smiled as Tilda's eyes opened and she kissed my forehead. "Morning!" she grinned. "Good morning, sweetheart. Sleep well?" "Always, next to you," she said sitting up. I slid up to sit beside her, my arm going around her thin waist. Neither of us had much to show for our, almost, fourteen years, and the...
Despite having less income than others in town, the residents of Fairweather Park were a close-knit group, almost like family. On the day Trixie-Lynn Amber turned 18, they threw the biggest party anyone in Fairweather had seen in a while. 'A while' as in last week, when Hope Kane had her eighteenth birthday party. We'll get to that when the detail is releva...
I had just arrived at my best friends house after a long day at work. Anthony, April, Bianca, and I had made plans to meet up after work and play some board games while having a few drinks. This had been a normal Friday for the four of us and nothing seemed unusual as the day progressed. However, upon my arrival I felt an odd tension lingering in the room. I...
