“Don’t make any plans for the 14th,” David said while zapping between TV channels. Veronica looked up from her newspaper. “Oh, why not?” “Because it’s Valentine’s Day and I have something special in mind for us.” Veronica’s interest was peeked. She sat up straight in the big sofa chair and… Read more“The Naked Chef”
The Cruise Ch. 02
I couldn’t believe how nice it was. I pulled it out of the box and held it up in front of me. It felt like silk against my skin, but it had stretch to the material. It was white with what looked to be hand painted orchids and leaves along… Read more“The Cruise Ch. 02”
The Inga Chroncles Ch. 05
The club wasn’t as crowded as the first night Inga and her friends visited, but it didn’t matter.

The Mechanic’s Apprentice

Put on that tight singlet under your work blouse (the latter you planned to remove) so… Read more“The Mechanic’s Apprentice”
The Masked Man
I’m standing over the ledge of the balcony staring at the gowns and suits of the people below me. It’s the masked renaissance-themed ball, so no one seems familiar to me. All the masked faces make everyone so mysterious and elegant. I find myself lost in the sway of people… Read more“The Masked Man”
The Man Who Took Her Heart
She’s just a simple girl with an ordinary life, with an every day family, your typical American mom who has a passion for writing, although her writings aren’t for all to read she enjoys writing them just the same. She was encouraged by a friend to try submitting her writings… Read more“The Man Who Took Her Heart”
The Office Boy Ch. 06
My name is Glenn and by now you may have read my stories. Sitting in the office rest area I drank my coffee. Reading the newspaper I came to the television listings and as I skimmed down the page I realised I had forgot to record a programme that was… Read more“The Office Boy Ch. 06”
