Joe walked out of the den and returned to Shelly's party and the other three men followed him a minute later. That left me standing in Joe's den wondering how I was going to be able to go back to the party and face the people who no doubt knew what had gone on. Most of Tom's family were at the party and for the last eight years they had all seen me as Tom's...
Having completed his business, Malcolm rushed towards home anxious to make sure Sabella and Mabel were alright. He was close to home when he came upon a white man standing outside a what he assumed was a disabled car because the hood was up. Malcolm pulled over to the side of the road and went over to see if he could help the man. As Malcolm approached the...
It didn't come as a surprise to me because I had been expecting it or at least something like it. It was a Wednesday and Myra and I were eating dinner when she said, "Don't make any plans for us this weekend. The girls from work and I are going to a spa for the weekend. One of the girls arranged for a group package. It will be a weekend of mud baths, mudpac...
I'm a gambler. Oh, not a high roller by any means, but I do love to bet on things. Once, in Houston at the Hyatt Regency, a couple of us sat in the lobby and bet on the elevators; which one would get to the top first, get down first, or if it was stopped at a floor would it go up or down. Not big bets, but bets just the same. I'll never put myself in the poo...

Murphy stood in front of her condo door with her key in her hand. She was not sure what she was going to find there. She didn't think that Robert would hurt her but she was afraid of his verbal abuse and did not want to face his wrath. Her life with The General had been comfortable from a physical standpoint but not from an emotional one. His constant orderi...
Suddenly it's dark. Suddenly it's cold. Suddenly everything is bleak. The future's bleak, the past is bleak, and bleakest of all is the present. Colors are drab. Food is bland. I'm tired all the time. She's gone. Again. @@@ I was an incoming freshman. She was a sophomore, and my orientation guide. I couldn't keep my eyes off her. She managed to be ne...
This is the first chapter of what will be a novel-length tale. Several chapters are already written, and the entire novel has been outlined. It will be finished. I'm guessing that chapters will be published every 2-4 weeks. I've published here at Lit before, and that has previously been my pattern. I've never left a novel unfinished. Most chapters will be lo...
A story of now and then from a slightly different perspective. Could it be true? As true as Merlin, Frodo, Hari Seldon or Moby Dick. As true as any work of fiction can be true. This is a love story but not a stroke story. It is my wish that it gives you something to consider and some enjoyment. * * * Mike saw him coming. He knew the man walking towards him...
The phone call was hoped for, but not totally expected. I had figured that the soonest I would hear from them, if they took the deal, would be at least two weeks away. But at eleven-thirty the phone rang and Mortenson said, "We are going with you Bruce. I've signed the papers and a copy is being faxed to you. You should have the originals by FedEx in the mor...
