I was your typical 30-something shmuck. Still am, I guess. 10 years before, I had gotten together with a good looking, shy, pregnant red head, and over the ensuing decade she had slowly transformed into a stark raving psychotic bitch. How much of that I could be blamed for, I don't know. But taking her 1000 miles away from her family didn't seem to help matt...
Well, this is it. The last chapter of Lost Girl. I would like to thank everyone for their interest and in case you're wondering, there will be a sequel to come in the near future, which will focus on their college years. I hope you've enjoyed the story, and thanks for supporting Lost Girl! ***** The night had grown late, and along with it was a drowsiness...
I know it's been far too long coming, but here's the last installment in this series. Thanks to all of you who have been interested and for your insights. I hope you all enjoy it. VW * "Honey, I'm home!" Valerie shouted out as she dropped her luggage with a resounding thump in the front hall, then rose up to her full height, twisting and bending in an effo...

Note - Unlike my other writing, this does contain an element of fiction. * The GEN light started blazing red, the classic VW bus warning for an overheating motor, as the same belt which spins the generator drives the fan to cool the motor. This was a bad stretch of road for this to happen, with absolutely nowhere to pull off from the hilly, curvy narrow pa...
Linda had packed a small bag and was ready to go by the time Drew had finished his breakfast. She was headed into town to spend a few days with her mother. Ryan poured the last of his coffee down the drain. Heather took his cup and washed it, he nodded in appreciation. Ryan never had much to say to Heather. He thought she was a bit of an air-head. That reall...
Sandra war auf dem Weg zurück in ihre neue 2-Zimmer-Wohnung. Weit nach Mitternacht hatte sie sich nach einem spontanen Besuch bei ihrer besten Freundin auf den Heimweg gemacht. Simone wohnte weit draußen auf dem Land, in einem winzigen Dorf in Norddeutschland. Beide hatten sich schon viel zu lange nicht mehr getroffen. Ein leckeres Essen und eine Flasche Wei...
Chapter 1 110º. Thank god for air-conditioning, Anne thought. West Texas. Flat stretch of endless desert and burning blue sky. Rest Stop Cafe. Red neon sign to the right. She pulls in on the gravel lot. Sign in broad window says, 'Enjoy a hearty meal in air-conditioned comfort.' Not many customers. Anne takes a booth and orders a turkey sandwich with salad...
