Ever wonder what your Ancestors were like? Were they good people? We all probably consider that they are just as good as we try to be. Were they bad people? It's a safe bet that there are always a few skeletons in the closet. Attic. Basement. Backyard. None of us truly know. Some of us wish we did. For James Ian Pryce he's been given the opportunity. Body su...
Careena angrily slammed the book she was reading closed. It was a treatise on magic that she had borrowed from her brother's library. Unfortunately, the author was so long winded in his explanations that by the time she reached one of his conclusions, she forgot what question he had originally posed. She was forced to reread everything several times to under...
-Will- I can hear the sound of everyone down stairs except for Chloe and I. Whenever Lili is over, she's insistent that she make everyone breakfast. No one has the heart to tell her besides pancakes, she's not very good at cooking. The eggs are never as ordered, the bacon is undercooked. Not raw, but it is rubbery. Chloe groans as I get up and put on a pa...
Let's be honest; one reason why Ellen's cheating twisted my tail so bad is this - not once did I cheat on my wife during the fifteen years we were married. There were plenty of opportunities; I'm a decent looking guy, keep myself in great shape and make good money. Most of you know that's like putting peanut butter on a mousetrap; if you're looking to score...
As you stand on top of the Forth Hokage's head sculpture, who you found out was your father few years prior, you gaze at the village of Hidden Village in the Leaves. While a younger you would daydream of ways to become Hokage succeeding your great aunt Tsunade, the current you is more tempered. Probably due to the numerous hits you received on the head from...
I am indebted to RichardGerald for allowing me to publish my version of an alternate ending to his famous work "Another Love". I also acknowledge the work of GeorgeAnderson and Pencarrow who have also published their Alternate Endings to the original. I am no different from other writers who are enamored with an original storyline but found the ending unsat...
Thanks to the Hip and Knee doctor for editing assistance. * It was lunchtime on Friday at the Peanut Bar. The Idiots Club meets here, once a week to share our miseries. The membership is not very impressive, just four middle age guys with one thing in common: our wives are each cheating on us. Bradley Cook, Ray Timmons, Karl Marshall, and myself, John Te...
The Dowager Marchioness didn't waste time. She reached under her surcoat, close to her hip, to pull out a pair of scissors chased by silver. "I'm going to remove your bonds now." She took one of Jansetta's limp wrists in her hand. Then she slid the blades under one of the loops, snipped, and then went to the other. Once that bit of cord had silently fallen t...
The Reluctant Duchess Ch. 01 The idea for this story came from the Hallmark TV movies that my wife enjoys. There's a bunch of them that feature a romance, usually between a woman, often American, and the prince of a fictional country in which most of the residents somehow speak with British accents. The couple overcome their cultural and class difference...
I had been married to Jim almost 20 years and I found out a secret recently that is about to cause a bitter and nasty divorce. While cleaning out some thing for our garage/yard sale, I was cleaning out my husband's old computer desk when I came across an envelope that showed the date January 16, 1984. That was the day that I delivered our only child - he w...
