Part 4 is here! I want to give a special thank you to some reddit users who helped me come up with some ideas which I will be implementing hopefully in the future! A word of warning however this chapter is more of a buildup chapter to more things to come, I hope that is not too disappointing for whoever reads this :) ***** Christine bit her plump lip as sh...
It was my second year in the MBA program when my grades slipped and I lost my scholarship. I couldn't believe it. I worked like a dog, stayed up late every night and had no social life. My day typically started at 4am - I'd run, do homework, have my first class at 8am, and be done with homework and classes at 11pm or midnight. How the fuck did I lose my scho...
I startled awake to a rapping sound on my bedroom door. "Adam, are you awake in there? You'd better get moving or you'll be late again!" The disembodied voice of my mother admonished. Damnit, woke me just as I was about to…well, at least I won't have to wash the sheets again. Shame she couldn't have waited just a few more minutes, though. Lookin...
When Jeannette Miller got the diagnosis, she knew two things. One, she needed a nanny for their young son, because, Two, the diagnosis was terminal. Also, she feared, time was short. Her husband James was several years older and successful, which allowed her plenty of time to play golf and tennis at their local country club. But she spent most of her time t...
Susan sat in the front porch swing waiting for Allan. He was picking her up at 3 p.m. to get an early start on their date. She decided she would wait on telling him about picking up birth control pills. She and Tracey had driven to the Planned Parenthood Clinic in Madison and gotten prescriptions - Tracey had wanted one too, as she said, "Just in case." Cath...
I felt the pressure of the blade before I saw blood. It didn't hurt at first; the slice from my collarbone to my shoulder blade. But a second later, the stinging and searing pain arrived and I started crying. My head went forward and the pain increased. The hands on my arms tightened and I felt more blood rushing. My blood was hot as it ran down my chest and...
The next morning she awoke to the sound of ice tinkling in a glass. The alarm clock on the wicker nightstand read 7:20. "Geez, what's he doing up so early?" she grumbled as she rolled out of bed and went stumbling around until she found him. In the garage, Dave was already dressed in shorts and tennis shoes examining Marks golf clubs. Last night he had noti...
Kim turned Tommy every which way but loose before they finally went to sleep, but that didn't stop the young man from getting up early the next morning. He really didn't have any choice. He had a morning class at the dojo and couldn't be late, not if he was going to make the dojo pay. He got out of bed, showered, dressed and went out to the kitchen. He'd jus...
Mitchell and Matthew were closer than most brothers. They had met the first day of kindergarten and cemented a bond that lasted a lifetime. They went through Matt's tonsillectomy and through Mitch's parents' divorce. They were gangly teen boys together who compared cocks and pimples on a daily basis. When dating age approached Matt dug a hole for himself b...
It started out just like any other Wednesday; I had class from eight till noon, and then I worked at the Bistro until nine. I walked home from there; it took about fifteen minutes. The full moon was just rising, floating just above the horizon like a great shiny penny, huge and orange. I was beat. Wednesdays are rough. I wasn't sure if Jennifer, my girlfrien...
