Month: August 2021

It started two years ago, when I was 21. I had just finished my sophomore year at the University of North Carolina and had decided I wanted to work in real estate. This summer was the first I was trying to live alone: growing up, I lived with my mom and my two sisters, so I was more than ready […]

I remember the moment I first saw him, in the Great Hall of Morden Castle — a tall, striking figure, dressed in the black habit of the Benedictines — head slightly bowed, standing calmly before my father’s throne. It was the way he held himself — straight backed, square shouldered — not a hint of nervousness — as the gossip […]

Hey everybody. Am glad my story interested you. This is my first attempt at writing. Please leave a feedback so i can work on the follow up content. Happy reading. Ankit had known Poonam for a long time. They were the best of friends and were there for each other. They were both introverts but could spend hours in each […]

My Bestfriend Preston and I had finally gotten to our dorm room at ten o’clock at night. My dad had helped us move all our stuff in the second half of the day after he got off work. As we got settled into our new home, the little 16ft by 12ft room, we noticed something was missing – a second […]

I had turned 18 just a few months prior to my high school graduation. I was accepted into 3 colleges of my choosing, 2 within driving distance of my home state of Georgia and one in San Francisco. I chose the California college to get an idea of what college life would be like outside the south. My intention was […]

Davey was glad to have graduated from high school, which he hated. But he wasn’t really looking forward to his summer before starting college. He was 18. It was 1977. He had no girlfriend — he was a little shy and all the weed he smoked didn’t help his self-confidence or ability to form complete, coherent sentences to impress the […]

Caroline Devlin checked her phone again. That was at least the twentieth time in the last twenty minutes. Why doesn’t Ami respond to her text? Caroline was anxious, she thought, Ami must realise that they needed to talk. To get things straight. Things were already out of control, and she had resolved to call an immediate halt before anyone got […]

I briefed Abdel about the internal treachery that was uncovered and, aside from being extremely angry, he was disappointed and hurt. He had worked his entire life to build a business and now a small group of greedy, yet trusted, individuals were trying to sabotage it for personal gain. The fact of the matter was that the potential financial gain […]

It was a nice afternoon. Peter was laying in the bed, wearing just his boxers. His dark hair cut short. His body that of a slim athlete. He was 22. He had some experiences with girls. His relationships didn’t last very long. He could not fathom if there was a problem with the girls of his age, or with him. […]

On the morning of the test, I felt quite sanguine. I was ninety-nine-point-nine percent convinced that it had, indeed, all been a joke. All that was needed was a clear report from the lie detector test and I would welcome Flo home with a certainty that after the scare my reaction to their latest joke had given her, I would […]
