Tommy and Christina

It was late December; a brand new year was just around the corner. With each New Year comes an injection of hope for a brighter, happier, more successful future. It is a time of reflection; when people resolve to discard negative habits or even unwanted facets of their character, and strive to better themselves. Not Tommy though, he didn’t give half-a-fuck. Tommy was a good guy. He...Read On

Paper Hearts

Be careful what you wish for.

I had vowed that should I ever again see my wife I would pretend it wasn’t happening. I wanted to keep that promise and walk on, but there she was, sat outside The Riverboat pub in a torrential downpour. Before her stood a glass that contained equal parts beer and rainwater, and even through a veil of raindrops I could make out her tears. I would not have been human if I hadn’t wanted to gloat. ...Read On

Forlorn Love

Written with an old world formality, mixed with the passions of our modern day

My wife is as terrified as I, fleeing with me through the dark and constricted alleyways of an old and decrepit city. The air is thick with the stench of refuse and the smell of food cooking over open flames as we pass between the cramped and overcrowded tenements that rise like cliffs around us. This woman, whom I believe to be my wife, pleads with me to find help or escape, but we both...Read On

Can't Breathe Without You

With such a brief encounter, it was unlike him to get so hot and bothered by the passing of a woman

1. Just one foot in front of the other , Tom thought to himself as he traversed the seemingly endless length of red carpet. He was slightly proud of himself for remembering to stop by the big name reporters and bloggers as his publicist requested of him. It was all a blur, of course, with cameras flashing, reporters rambling superficial questions, and fans screaming to gain a wave, nod, or...Read On

Coming Home: Rekindling

A Special Forces soldier returns from Afghanistan to be with his wife again

I winced as I stood up from one of the cargo net seats of the C-17 Globemaster, my side under my Multicam uniform still causing a minor amount of tension. The gust of air from the North Carolina air refreshed my senses, the cool air sweeping through my clothes and bringing all my thoughts of home racing back to my mind. It had been a long six months, stressful and painful. My name is...Read On

Mouse

Mouse had taken to dancing in her panties and socks. Her shoulder-length hair - fine, yet a nondescript, easily forgettable shade of brown - whipped around her head and got caught in her glasses. But she kept going, arms and legs flailing wildly yet not without a sense of design. It was as if she were moving to some bright vision of grace in her mind that her body couldn't keep up with. ...Read On

Love Never Dies - Chapter 10

Ending a loving relationship, particularly for the second time, is more complicated than disconnecting a phone call. Over the previous thirty-plus years, memories of Gaynor had frequently popped into my mind. Something or somewhere - a smell, a sight, a song - triggered recollections. But now, this second time around, I couldn’t get through even one single day without thinking about her. ...Read On

A Crystalline Memory

Jesse was alone in the motel room. On a road trip into the past, along old Route 66. Sitting and thinking back on the time when he had lived just a few miles from this very town. On this Friday evening he was studying nostalgia. He'd been only nine years old. And his world had shattered and then been put back together as something completely different. It wasn't his fault, but he had paid...Read On

The Elevator Girl - Part 9

Tonight is the night James claimes all of me.

I woke to the smell of breakfast cooking. Smiling I rolled over, discovering James' side of the bed was empty. Laying my face on his pillow, I took a deep breath, inhaling his amazing scent. Then my eyes flew open and I sat straight up: today is Friday, the day James will make love to me for the first time. Suddenly, I couldn't breathe, excited with anticipation about what was going to...Read On

The Fairy Ring

Where exactly does magic happen?

In the L&D Suite, at the Winter Solstice “She’s dilated to 8 cm and mostly effaced. Contractions are strong, about 3 minutes apart,” said the nurse. “She seems delirious.” “She's into transition now. She’s likely to be a little out of it. Or a lot. Did she bring a focal point? Where’s her labor coach?” asked the charge nurse. “Oh, you’d better notify Dr. Weems that she’s in transition.” ...Read On

None Of Our Own?

Where will we be when Cupid's quiver runs out of arrows?

Looking back, I would say that I reached an all time emotional low just before Christmas of 2015. I'll try not to drag you too far down towards where I was, but it's important to know where I started from. A couple years earlier, I had been enjoying life. The kids were growing into adulthood, with one about to get married, and the other about to graduate college. Another promotion at work...Read On

The Villa (Chapter One)

It was a summer none of them would forget...

"I feel so nervous," Megan whispered, looking out the window of the plane as it began to descend. She glanced over at Elijah, who smiled at her reassuringly. "You have nothing to be nervous about, it's going to be an amazing summer." He reached over and squeezed her thigh gently, leaning over to brush his lips against hers. "Trust me, everyone will love you and you will love the villa....Read On

Broken Down and Used Up

A broken down bartender and used up stripper find comfort in each's arms.

It was Christmas Eve and I was tending bar at strip joint called, Club Risqué. I helped the bouncer, Reggie, wrestle two drunken sailors into a taxi. After handing the driver a Benjamin, I instructed him to drop the sailors off at the 32nd Street Naval Station . The manager, Lorenzo, locked the club’s doors. After wishing me a Merry Christmas, he headed to his car followed by the bouncer....Read On

Love Never Dies - Chapter 9

We sat in Gaynor’s lounge but not in the usual chairs in the bay window. This time, Gaynor was stretched out on the four-seater leather couch, her back resting against a cushion and her bare feet in my lap. I was in my all-black golf attire and Gaynor was wrapped in a white cotton bathrobe, her legs bare from below the knees. She held a mug of steaming coffee in both hands, gently blowing...Read On

All that glitters is not gold. But, gold always glitters.

The usually annoying sound of her alarm clock was soothing and welcomed that morning. She woke from her slumber and felt the warmth of Eric’s body next to her. It was the first time they had spent the night together. They had recently started dating and were a perfect fit. They were both certain that they had found their soulmates in each other but, had never dared to tell one another. Her...Read On

Love Never Dies - Chapter 8

The place Gaynor selected for our late lunch was only a few minutes drive away, a quaint country inn with thatched-roof, low black beams, leaded windows and highly-polished hardwood flooring. Prints of hunting scenes, highlighting red coats and dappled dogs, adorned the walls and the stoutly-padded seats made wooden chairs surprisingly comfortable. A few customers still lingered over...Read On

My Best Friend; My Dream Girl

My Best friend was the girl of my dreams

I assume every guy has one female friend who they secretly adore. That one girl that considers him as a close friend, yet has a loser boyfriend, who treats her like shit. A girl who he sets on such a high standard, that she is the one girl all others are compared. When I was a senior in high school, I had such a female friend. Her name was Christy. To me she was the closest thing to perfect...Read On

Traffic was light that Friday evening and I made good time. It was 7:01 when I parked the car in the garage and switched off the engine. I removed the phone from my pocket, preparing to text Gaynor, when it beep-beeped. The words on the screen told me: 1 message from Gaynor. I opened it and read: Just to let you know I’ve sent an email xx I hit the reply button and sent: Got...Read On

The Dreamer

The old woman tossed in her bed, and moaned softly. She dreamed, as she did every day, and the dreams were terrible and wonderful. A sound of grief escaped her lips, drawing the attention of the new nurse. “Is she okay?” she asked her supervisor, who was checking her vitals on the monitor. The room was as bright and cheerful as a room in a nursing home could be, and the brilliant sunshine of...Read On

Thursday night I hardly slept. I was like a child on Christmas Eve, excited and desperate for morning to arrive so that I could open my gifts. But I wasn’t a child. I was less than a month from my fifty-eighth birthday and my special present was a meeting with Gaynor. I lay quite still for most of the night but my mind restlessly darted from one memory to another: some from years...Read On

Love Never Dies - Chapter 5

I arrived home only minutes before Veronica, and I helped unload the shopping bags from her car and carried them through to the kitchen where the kettle was already boiling. I made tea for Veronica and a mug of instant coffee for myself. Leaving Veronica to put away the groceries, I went out on to the patio. I was greeted by the sun peeping over the fringe of a cloud. It was pleasantly...Read On

What The New Day Brings

The morning after a love-at-first-sight night.

Flora woke to the sun shining through her bedroom window and, as she became more aware of her surroundings, she realized that she was lying against a man’s strong chest. But, instead of unease from what could have been, she felt satisfaction and peace. She barely remembered the events of the night before but, what she did recall, was filled with love and connection and filled her with a desire...Read On

There he was sitting at the bar drowning the past week’s annoyances away in a glass of the most mediocre Scotch the bar had. Jarret had spent a year wandering around England and while he enjoyed the land, and the people, he never quite found the strength to enjoy the job. He took another sip and as the whisky burned his lips he wondered what the weekend held in store for him. Another sip and...Read On

I could have cried, or at least roared out in pain and anguish. I wanted to beat my chest and bellow to the skies, howling out my frustration. The e-mail from Gaynor stabbed at my heart, sliced me open and exposed me as a conceited, arrogant fool. At least, that’s what I was, way back then. Long ago, I realised what a huge mistake I’d made by walking away from her. I loved her but, at...Read On

Over dinner - one of Veronica’s casserole creations which pleased the taste buds but left me in the dark as to all of its ingredients - she suddenly asked, “Do you miss having sex?” My wine glass was at my lips but I paused and looked across the dining table at my wife. Her head was slightly bowed and she seemed to be absently playing with her food, stirring it with a fork. “That’s an...Read On

We rejoice in her return from a business trip, then she told me what she does for a living.

I travel by commuter flight each week for work. My week starts Sunday night and ends Thursday night when I go home. I met Joan a couple of weeks ago on my flight to work. She was on her way home to Milwaukee from a vacation in London. The flight and our first week together was an experiment in sex and exhibitionism.

It had been another warm Tuesday and I’d played a reasonable round of golf, followed by a steak meal in the clubhouse. The company was good and the conversation, as usual, light. Occasionally, politics and finances reared their ugly cantankerous heads but, generally, we steered away from contentious topics. Our ingredients were mainly golf, other sports, sex and jokes. Never anything...Read On

No graphic terms, just a love story that someone asked me to write about two older friends

In a small town, as rural as one can be and yet be defined as a town, an old flower shop sits off a side street, long forgotten but still lovingly maintained by its owner, Emily Bronson. Widowed ten years ago at age 42, she refused to abandon the small flower shop her father had opened when she was a girl. Emily’s husband had provided enough for her in his will to allow her to keep her...Read On
