We’ve been working together for about 5 months now. At first, I was stunned by your beauty and every day since I’ve been impressed with your intelligence, work ethic and humor. I would have asked you on a date within a week had it not been for Brad. I was sure he was the luckiest guy in the world. It’s […]

At some point I started a desire-notebook. Sometimes I would have a really strong desire for something that my wife just wasn’t in the mood for, so I’d write it down in a small pocket notebook. If/when that act occurred, I would fold the page in half, write the date on it, and consider that act ‘completed’. Finding comfort in […]

The warm Summer weather continued into September and Neil invited Saoirse to join him and his friends on their annual September surfing trip to the West coast. They rented an Air B&B near the beach and Neil picked Saoirse up to make the 4 hour journey there together. “How come you’ve not got your shorts on?” Neil asked as he […]

“If you’re not going, then I’m not going either.” I knew this was a lie as I talked to my friend and colleague, Diana, because I had spent an hour straightening my hair and getting the right wings on the liquid eyeliner that she had convinced me to try. “I’m sorry, Dylan says it’s fine, but with Judy taking leave […]

Cindy peeked out of her window to look at the house diagonally across the street. She didn’t know the people who lived there but for the past three months she realized the woman didn’t seem to be around anymore.

I had the window of my ute down, radio on, happily listening to some old tunes as I made my way back home. It had been another long week on site as we continued to improve the highway north to the NSW / Queensland border. Laying bitumen and tarmac is one thing. It’s the digging of tunnels and building of […]

“Fuck! ” Matt muttered to himself. He was nervous and in his own head for the night ahead. Matt toweled himself off quickly and took a deep breath. “It’s going to be ok, it’s just Emily. ” Matt said. More to try and convince himself than anything. Matt took a look at himself in the mirror. His dark brown hair […]

Fran couldn’t help but smile. She often thought that she would wake up from her dream and that she would recognise her real life once more. Only, she knew that she was not imagining any of this, nor the man who had transformed her life. A near neighbour had become her lover and she knew that he could not get […]

“She broke up my parents’ marriage, killed my mom, and nearly owns the business,” I growled, failing at tamping my anger down. As the son of the CEO, I could not afford to let my emotions become public knowledge. “Trent, you know it’s only going to be worse after your father dies. You need to get it under control, buddy.” […]

It’s me — Numbnutz — a somewhat less than affectionate nickname given me by my father in my youth. Oh, it wasn’t the only nickname I had, ‘knucklehead’ and another loving name — Stupid! Don’t get me wrong — my parents loved me, and me being the first borne son, I gathered a lot more attention that the other 4 […]
