Chapter 4

Three weeks later, Matthew made a bold move. He found a place of his own. He'd had enough of the group home. After a decade of institutional living, shared bathrooms, and the constant rotation of staff and residents, he wanted something that was his. Something that didn't require permissi...

When Eva woke up the next morning, breakfast was on the night stand with a single rose. Lucas was already gone. There was a note.
'Good morning, Sexy! Wear something comfortable today, we'll be going to the club, and then we'll go to the bars tonight and have some German bier (beer)'.
Something comf...

Once upon a time, my dear brother introduced me to two older men. They were nice, talkative, and we drunk plenty of wine together. One of them knew jokes and he also knew how to crack them up with a serious face, so I had laughed with everyone, afraid the roof would fall on our heads, such a stormy ...

THE SEARCH FOR MY MOTHER


PROLOGUE

This is a bit of a long story, but if you choose to read it, I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.

CHAPTER 1

My name is Barry. It's actually William Barrett Townsend. I prefer to go by Barry. I am 25. I'm 6 feet tall, weigh 195, physicall...

His is the story of a rejected, just twenty-year-old boy and an overweight, in her view, nineteen-year-old girl meeting in a noisy nightclub, both feeling the world of love and happiness had no place for them. They meet in desperation, vowing not to get too emotionally involved ever again but to jus...

The Abbey Farm Curse
Chapter Six
England in late spring and the countryside around Abbey Farm is so very quintessentially English, soft rolling hills, fields and meadows full of new plants and flowers, all outlined with hedgerows full of blossom and alive with birds and animals. Why would anyone eve...

Sweet Payback
Chapter One
After 7 years of marriage our sex life was becoming somewhat predictable and even a little stale, not surprising I suppose after 9 years of sex with the same person. Samantha my beautiful blue-eyed blond-haired wife with her still perfect figure 36-24-36 turned heads wherev...

WARLORD Chapter 11
This was a battle I really didn't want to fight. First, the Balabans and the Hadyks together outnumbered us by a considerable margin. Chalky and his scouts had done some excellent work during the previous turn, and they'd come up with estimates of our enemies' numbers.
The Balaban...

Chapter 1
I had been lying in bed for almost an hour, staring at my phone. I exhaled and stretched my legs and arms to release the pain from the immobility. I noticed that it was starting to get dark. The only light in the room came from the computer screen, where Dimitris was working tirelessly to ...

Chapter 1
Eden
The last few miles of the trip home to Elizabethton down the winding mountain roads is always the best part. When I know I'm close enough to smell Mama's homemade roast and potatoes, or the scent of Daddy's tobacco pipe. But this time is different. I was here only ten days ago for the...

*See chapter 00. Intro and chapter descriptions*
As Zyre picked me up and carried me amidst the chaos of what I later learned were orcs of his own band come to free us, I slipped in and out of consciousness, my head throbbing in excruciating pain, my mind only replaying the events leading up to what...

Chapter 15 NEW GENERATIONS
Gertie's family expands
On Tuesday, after returning to her London home, Gertie called a meeting of the staff, there being only five of them based at the house, a housekeeper, chef, kitchen maid/apprentice cook, housemaid and her lady's maid. Her driver was only part-time o...

Friday, 9:58 am
"Marcus!" Danni shouted, standing up from the table outside Helena's--the brunch spot where we agreed to meet. We had a reservation for ten in the morning, so I was a little surprised to see the raven-haired, fair-skinned beauty approaching me from a table she'd already been sitting ...

Thursday, 6:21 pm
My phone rang as Helen and I rode the elevator to my apartment. It was Henry.
I answered the phone, "Psalter. What's the news?" I was on the proverbial edge of my seat.
"She's gone," he replied.
"Fuck."
"It's strange," Psalter said. "All of her belongings are still here. Her suitem...

The Abbey Farm Curse.
Chapter Five.
Tuesday night, the night that Angie and I ended up in bed together and the night we had our joint "hallucination", was one of very little sleep for me (I'm saying "hallucination" in inverted commas because I had no other word for it even though it doesn't seem to ...

WARLORD Chapter 10
Turn Six ended that afternoon.
I'd sent back to Goldenrod for stretchers, wagons and harnesses, so that we could transport the more seriously wounded. Normally, on Earth, putting wounded in wagons would have been nothing short of cruel. The sudden shocks as wooden wheels bumped, r...

Fanning the Flames
It had been well over a week since the arrival of the Wolf Lord on their doorstep, and not a single shot had been fired by either side. The two combatants sat and faced one another, while the swollen river that divided them took its time to subside.
On this particular evening, Ste...

Part 2
A New Beginning
After breaking up with Raven, Sara went into a depression. She missed her job working as a Dominatrix at the Fetish Chamber, but the bridge was burnt, and she could never go back.
There was another dungeon.
Mistress C, Sara's former Head Mistress, had talked trash when a new d...

For those who pay attention to such things: When Sarah is alone the story is in the past tense. When Claire and Sarah are together the story is in present tense.

Chapter 25 -- Decision Made
Friday January 13
Uncle John and I bailed on everyone and went to breakfast together. I received a text from Manaia that promised serious harm if I didn't tell him where we went, so I did. He came in once we'd received our drinks, but before we ordered.
"Nice," he complai...

Chapter 4
Madeline and Dan took a quick shower. While Madeline dried her hair and got ready, Dan put on his swim trunks and a t-shirt, then went to the living area and sent the guys a text letting them know he and Madeline would be a little late to brunch. Twenty minutes later Madeline came out with...

This story develops slowly and has no graphic sexual scenes. It's largely told in narrative form, so if you don't like that kind of story, pass it by. The story is fiction and any resemblance in the story to a person living or dead is purely coincidental. All persons engaged in sexual activities in ...

Chapter 1
Every morning, young Matthew Conner, eight years old, would wake up in his trundle bed in the one-bedroom apartment he shared with his father. He'd brush his teeth and comb his dark hair, all the while making funny faces at himself in the mirror. Matty was a happy, cheerful kid. Next, he w...

Chapter 8

Kendall and Jacob went back to the family compound and Kendall agreed to stay in the executive suite. Jacob was coming down from the stress of the day, the loss of Mindy, and the night in jail. He was a mess. It was alot to process, but he seemed to be holding it together. She was also...

The initial settlement at a rented apartment in Khardah town had sown the seeds of transformation already. This is how things started to evolve.
It has been 2 years now that we have been living as a tenant in the house of a middle-aged widow named Kamala. Respectfully and as per ethics, I addressed ...

WARLORD Chapter 9
I watched the Shorr army carefully as they marched up, and then split into two columns, to surround the walls of Goldenrod. It was a great relief to see that the composition of their host was pretty much what I'd expected: more infantry than cavalry, by a margin of about 7 to 3. Th...
