"Oh, I dunno, Tina, it all seems so wrong. I mean, I love three square meals every day but this constant supply of fast food is relentless." "You don't have to...
Sandra I arrived at the short stay car park at Terminal 3, Heathrow airport after a two-hour drive from my home in a small town in the south west. The flight was not due in until 11.10am, but I had arrived almost an hour early as I was too excited to wait around at home any longer. The drive had been unpleasant; I had hit the morning rush hour and almost th...

SJ. ~*~*~*~*~ I had suspected Trevor had been cheating on me for some months. Actually, if I was honest with myself, I suspected he had been cheating on me for a lot longe...

I decided to take one of my free...

She was holding a beautiful, deep magenta flower, out to me. I reached over the display of organic tomatoes and took the offering. "Thanks Eleanor." I responded to the pretty young w...

This story comes with a few cautionary notes. It is pure fantasy, and is unlikely to represent anyone's reality, past or present. There are divorces but no BTB.
