“I’m sorry, Steve — I just can’t support it!” Shelly’s voice had a catch in it as she rose from our living room couch, turning her back to me. Lord, help me! I thought. It was a sincere prayer, not just an expression of vexation. There were multiple reasons for my momentary divine conversation. I needed wisdom to defuse the […]

It was Will’s last day before retirement. He was spending it doing one of his hobbies walking along the beach with a metal detector. Normally, he just found spare change and bottle caps but sometimes he got lucky. Today was one of those days. The metal detector started going off and there in the sand he found a golden bracelet. […]

I had to check the page number to be sure. Kissing Lady Vinnebel, from pages 183 through 210? That was almost the whole scene. While our fellow actors red through the script- dull lines about the honor and duty of Lord Vinnebel- I looked over at who would be playing Lady Vinnebel. Jesse Huang, sophomore. I was a freshman at […]

My hot wife Tara and I met in college when we were assigned as partners for a class project. Tara proved to be a great project partner. She was very smart, funny, with a great personality and attractive in a plus-size kind of way. We became friends and later started dating. Some of the guys gave me a hard time […]

Tony saw the net curtain fall back into place. He had called Maude Henderson to say that he would be late calling in on her, past lunchtime, but that he would not let her down and that the electrical work, that he had priced for, would be completed and tested in the remaining hours of his working day. ‘I’ll stay […]

Michelle Williams had been surprised when she’d received the call to action. While it was true that she had once been one of the world’s greatest and most popular heroes, she had given up that life nearly two decades prior. Surely, she thought, there must have been others more suited to rise to the occasion, but America’s Hero Society was […]

“Mackenzie, I’d like you to meet my roommate and best friend since childhood, Sprout,” Greg announced in the entryway of our apartment. Then he turned to me, “Mackenzie and I have been dating the past few weeks.” The tall pretty blonde cocked her head slightly. Sensing a reaction to my name, Greg continued: “His real name is Sidney, but he’s […]

Payback is a bitch. After charging shoes and clothing that she really didn’t need, merchandise that Maryanne didn’t tell him that she charged on three, new credit cards, her husband, Paul, retaliated against his wife. Having already paid her credit card debt once before, done paying off all of their credit card debt again, hiding her purchases from her husband, […]

We’re all sinners. Each and every one of us has a deep rooted flaw that defines the worst of our personalities. The hard part is looking within ourselves and acknowledging our own. For me, this comes easily. I’m very aware of what mine is. What doesn’t come easily to me is the desire to change. To change, you have to […]

Looking over fields of hay at the back of our house, I remembered the many happy memories. There was and still is lovely, lush, green fields and woods, with many different paths you can take, all different, some with dense undergrowth, some with lovey, peaceful scenery. I used to spend many happy hours running nearly naked through the hay and […]
