I joined the Air Force in 1988 at the age of 19 with a guaranteed job of Aeromedical Specialist, which at the time had an Air Force Specialty Code of 4F0X1. I was excited as hell to both get out of my small hometown which offered a high school graduate nearly very little when it came to job opportunities, and nothing along the lines of excitement either. Joi...
================== What does he know? What will he do? Again, something a little out of my normal wheel well - but then again, there's been a lot of that lately, hasn't there? Mister E is a new character that's a bit out of the ordinary, and this is the first of a series of unusual adventures I have lined up for him. I hope you enjoy. Another difficult on...
"Good morning, Arrow Associates. This is Cara. How may I direct your call?" I wouldn't last a week as a receptionist. I could never sound half that cheerful repeating the same thing forty times before noon. Not to mention keeping track so I didn't keep saying 'morning' at 3 pm. But Cara has been doing it for six months now while greeting the arriving staff...
I had completed the chore I'd volunteered to do for my sister Carol. I'd driven her car up from Houston, Texas to her in Nashville, Tennessee where she'd been asked to report as soon as possible to accept a new job and promotion in her company. The promotion had been so important to her career she'd flown up immediately to accept it. I'd driven her car up at...
(Note: In the "note" in Part 1, I said that Part 2 would be Chapters Four through Seven, but actually, it's Chapters Three through Seven. Sorry about that.) Chapter Three Rachel Carlson stopped pedaling the stationary bike and looked over at Jackie, who was in recovery mode on the rowing machine. "You've got to be shitting me!" she exclaimed. "I want you...
Matt's dreams were filled with fire, the fire that killed his family, and the one he had saved those kids from. No, it was not the kids and wife of some faceless distressed husband and father he had saved, it was his own family. His parents, brother, and sisters were alive, he had saved them, they were all around him. He was home, home and surrounded by a lo...
This story is a work of fiction and all characters are over the age of 18. My characters have taken on lives of their own. I'm not so much creating the chapters as writing them down as the characters live them. Comments are welcome, especially if they give me direction on themes and what aspects of their lives I delve into as the story unfolds. I've edit...
My girlfriend Marie and I enjoyed reckless getaways from our homes, from our jobs, from our lives. Life should be fun, right? We really knew how to ditch work and other realities. We'd go away, fuck until we were sore, then we'd rest, fuck some more, and go back home to recuperate and deal with the rest of life. Quite unexpectedly, our last getaway had turne...
Millicent is a character from a vignette in one of the parts of 'Epiphanous'. Her circumstance fueled a storyboard in my mind that I think was worth exploring. This is not a story of great wrongs and retribution. There is no bitch burning and from my perspective there is no judgement of right or wrong. These are people who might do what others would not or n...
Author's note: This is a crossover story that takes place long after Buffy the Vampire Slayer/during S5 of Pretty Little Liars, at which point the characters are all over 18. * Aria Montgomery was running. At first she was running towards something, now she was running away from something. That may sound like it was meant to be deep and philosophical, or a...
