We are all alone….no distractions expected…..all the kids are away ….. We are totally alone. We open a bottle of wine and sit there sipping away in front of a roaring fire. As we feel the wines’ effects, we get a little closer. I take you in my arms and look deep…
Never having been a techie I was leary on meeting people on the Internet, but I was lonely and needing some companionship and joined a chat room to do just that–chat. Well, one evening I was in the room and in pops a man with a marvelous sense of humor. I sat alone in my…
After months of phone calls (thank god for long distance bundles) and emails, I needed to see my lover again. I took vacation and booked a cheap flight to Seattle. I was going to see him again and just the thought was enough to send me looking for my vibrator. (I’ve even named the damn thing…
When it had finally sunk in that I had laid the mum of the most beautiful girl I was ever likely to have any chance of marrying I began to tremble. What was Natasha’s game? She evidently wanted me out of her daughter’s life. Or did she? I was very cautious with her in the…
The next morning when I tried to call Jenny there was no answer. I must have missed her, I thought, she’s gone off to work early. I bought her a super bunch of flowers and went into the supermarket to see her. God I loved her so much if I’d had the money I would…
Ace drove the SUV to the base and headed straight to the Officer’s Club parking area, fond a place not too distant from the entrance and parked. He normally would have driven his classic Jaguar XKE, but with Mary joining the group, the ‘two seater’ just wouldn’t do tonight. Besides, if the club…
They gazed into each others’ eyes for a moment before leaning together for their first tentative kiss. The sparks of romance filled the small car’s interior; it was a kiss of passion. Their lips met softly, closed at first and then as the heat of the moment overtook them opened to allow each…
It was the middle of summer when Mary left her home in Manchester England to go visit her long time friend and former class mate Nicole in the ‘New World”, the colonies as America is so often called by proper British folk. Her visit had been timed well, South Carolina would be steaming hot…
As Mary awoke the next morning she could hear the clatter of pots and pans in the kitchen and figured that Nicole was up cooking. That was wonderful she thought, she had missed dinner completely and was starved. She walked to the bathroom, toothbrush in hand and flung open the door. Much…
A Wooden Heart This tale is re-working of an old fairy story and no doubt you will soon recognise it as you read on. ***** Prequel Granny Fay knew when she was going to die. As a witch it was natural for her to know. Her family were…
This happened when my marriage was virtually at and end. I used to go out for long walks to get away from the house. My route took me out of our middle class suburb through one or two rough areas of the city. Near the footbridge across the river there is a path which leads…
Continued from part 1 I tried to persuade Tayla to take the ten pounds but she would not. In view of what had just happened I thought it best not to insist. We spent some time after that just looking at each other in a kind of marvellous wonder. Could it be? Yes, our eyes…
Prince Mikhail spurred the black mare faster. He had to make it to the castle and find out what the hell was going on. It was not in his nature to abandon his own quests, and in all truth if he was not honour bound, he would be riding in the opposite direction. The journey…
I was on holiday in Ireland , the land of my birth or it was if you counted several generations back. Throw some Native American in there with some Scott and there with the Irish and you have my ancestry as far as I was ever told. I had turned 48 last summer…
It was a holiday weekend that just seemed to creep up on me. I hadn’t made plans and was kinda blaming myself for it. It was early evening and since I didn’t have to go to work the next day I decided to go to a local watering hole. At least I always knew someone…
