Edited by Michael-Leonard Chapter 1 Bill stood in the doorway, leaning against the frame, as he watched her finish her final set. He was always amazed at how easy she made it look. Even from across the room he could tell that she had a forty-five pound plate, two twenty-five pounders, and a ten pounder on each side of the bar. Including the weight of the b...
Jade stepped out of the grav-tube then jogged down the ramp into the Combat Bridge in a smooth loping run, greeting the girls with a warm grin. "Welcome back, stranger," Irillith said to her with a smile. The Nymph trailed her green fingers down the Maliri girl's arm as she breezed past and took her place at the Pilot's Station. "Hi!" Faye said with a br...
Chapter 1 Bill Phillips leaned back against the headboard of the bed as he looked at the item that had led to the painful situation he now found himself in. It was so simple, and still very common, although not as common as they had once been. Not quite 3 inches wide by 2 inches high, and if you looked at it from the side it appeared to be in the shape of a...
I am sorry for my extended absence however my Cloud had a glitch and I was forced to rewrite everything from scratch. Now that I am back up to speed, I will do my best to continue this story as well as one or two of my others, depending on my creative motivations. This chapter differs from the Ch. 01 significantly however if you don't enjoy it as much, don't...
© 2014-2017 Embers The sweat on Rosa's brow chilled as she entered the large air-conditioned lobby. Although the sudden shift in temperature startled her, it offered much-needed relief; Kabira Bay was particularly muggy the day she and her family arrived. Her father, a stocky, pug-faced man with dense glasses, walked briskly ahead of her. He made a beeline...
It's a Saturday evening, and I'm out with my three BFFs. Naturally I have Sophie with us. BFF #1, Isabelle, has a date with her. BFF #3, Ellie has a friend with her. Only BFF#2, Reagan, is without a companion in our little group, but she's also the only one of us who doesn't attend USA. The little traitor headed off to FSU (of all the schools!) just because...
Thanks to Ada Stuart for taking time from her busy life to provide some very helpful constructive criticism. I don't believe this would have been as readable without her contribution. I'd joined Adelaide & Tash as a junior partner in the audit department. It pissed off some of the more senior associates and made a few enemies for me. But I came through the...

"Baby, please wake up," Cindy whimpered as another contraction stabbed at her insides. "Baby's coming?" Pam asked, wide awake. "I think so," Cindy whimpered....
Chapter 9. "What! How! What happened?" I cried steering her to the settee and sitting with her on my lap, cuddling her. "There... there was an accident... he went hunting with a friend and he was shot... he is dead" she replied in short sentences, "I can go home..." That hit me like a sledgehammer, 'She could go home and she would be safe with her mother...
