He slid his hotel room key through the slot and pushed the door open after the requisite click. It was late — later than he had planned to be out. But once he got roped into meeting and chatting it was easy to lose track of time. At least it was what he viewed as a successful evening — a power evening, made a great impression, made great contacts. Had som...
***Author's Note** Hullo, all! I'm back after a few years hiatus. Please be kind; it's been a while since I've stretched my writing wings. Constructive criticism is of course welcome, as are any comments, just don't be too mean ha. *** I sighed as I walked back into my house; I was hot, sweaty, and exhausted. I had spent a couple of hours working on my gard...
Several years ago, I lived in a house that had been converted to apartments. My landlord lived next door and was in the process of converting that house to apartments as well. I had lived there for a couple of years when he finally got an upstairs apartment going, and a new tenant moved in. She was a college student, blonde hair, and blue eyes, about 5’2”...
Andrea was bored out of her mind. The summer job she took at the department store wasn't the exciting, fun-filled adventure the human resources woman made it out to be. But she needed the money, and because she had waited so late to look for work, all the cool jobs at the mall were taken. She really wanted to be at Chucky's Burgers in the food court, since b...
Hating the thought of having to return to an empty hotel room I linger over my dinner in the restaurant until it appears that the help is eyeing me in the hope that I will soon depart. Taking the hint I pay my check, leaving a generous tip for the help's patience with my dawdling and head for the nearest elevator which rapidly delivers me to my room on the 2...
This one has some fun elements, but I struggled with writing it. I hope I was able to salvage it in the edits. This one starts slow. Enjoy! ***** "AMY! AMY!" My brother, Mark, was shouting from the door. He'd been next door mowing the neighbor's grass. Our neighbor was Ted Kazinski, and up until two weeks ago, we thought he was just another friendly guy....
A little longer than my usual offerings, but the dialogue breaks up the solid text. Hope you like it - it's been a while since I posted! ***** The now-familiar inner debate gripped her again, and argued and counter-argued each case to herself until, with a sigh of resignation, and a cold thrill of shame and taboo, her mind was made up. Yes, the receptioni...
My husband and I lived in a quiet village with only one neighbor, an elderly couple. Our children had grown up and were attending university and I worked part-time in my husband's firm. David, my husband, worked away from home, leaving me alone to run the small office and our home for what seemed to be weeks on end. Love-making was passionate between us but...
Finally the weather has cooled down a little bit, allowing for my favorite time of year. I love to open the windows and enjoy real air. Summers are so hot that the central air always runs and then winter requires a heater. There are just a few months when the windows can be opened and a breeze is such a nice guest then, pushing through the windows. The fact...
Oh, how I love travelling for work. Everybody seems to think travelling when somebody else is paying for it is a great thing, but it's just a different rental car, a different office building and a different hotel room. Anyway, having checked in, I rode the elevator up to the 14th floor and stumbled around finding the pointy arrows to tell me how to find my...
