Things had been actually very quiet as far as assignments for FD Corp. I had to admit that I was a bit thankful. My assignments were becoming increasingly difficult and disturbing both physically and mentally. I had discussed this with Ms. Stone. It seems the majority of women involved in the ‘inappropriate behavior stress relief’ program were pleased that although […]

Sophie’s bus was arriving at its destination in California, and the young girl couldn’t help but admire out the window the beaches and the sea stretching out everywhere she looked. A couple of days earlier the small college in northern California where Sophie was studying was a hive of cars and students loaded with suitcases preparing to return home. On […]

“I’ll see you, girls, later. You know that I’m out of sorts unless I get in my daily two and a half K’s.” “Are you sure you can find your way back to the campsite, Louise?” “Sure Mallory, the GPS will bring me right back to this spot. It’s never failed me yet.” “You make us all look like lazy […]

The evening strengthened as Priscilla stepped out from the drinking hall and into the quiet township of Quakestir. She’d arrived at the tavern earlier than expected, and felt thankful the residents from the last village overexaggerated the distance. On a journey as long as this, it was the small things to say the least.

Christmas parties were always the same. This one wasn’t even with Dan’s co-workers, but he’d come out at the behest of his wife, Noel. Cheesy music blared from the speakers in the stuffy banquet hall, the more contemporary releases being notably more offensive than the usual stuff.

Ten years passed. Our marriage had had its rocky times but we stayed together through them all, and it strengthened as a marriage does when you nurture it. We got to know each other and grow together as friends as well as lovers. To the point that we established a trust we never thought possible. I knew I had her […]

It was one of those dreams that left him wishing it could have been longer. Better yet, it left him wishing it wasn’t a dream at all. She looked and felt just as he remembered her, from the fresh-linen scent and baby-soft feel of her skin, to her soft, sexy voice. The dream was short–too short–but sweet. They were in […]

A single pair of car headlights pierced the mist that lay across the New Forest. They traced a path that was the only evidence of a road in the dark winter night. Even that light became obscured now as the car entered dense woodland then emerged again and came to a stop as they converged with the light that came […]

It was pitch black, and the sundial struck midnight. Berwick didn’t know where he was. The anxiety bloomed, Berwick was lost without his comrades. He could only feel the cool airstream brush against his skin, which was the only company right now. The only source of light was the full moon, and even then it wasn’t much light, Berwick was […]

Kayleigh logged into her computer, rubbing her temples. This latest short term house had been a hassle and a half, but it was over with and the owner had returned home from their stint overseas to their kids. She tapped her lower lip with her pen. ‘Full-time nanny for a single daughter, and housekeeper needed, location, Fairbanks, Alaska,’ the job […]
