By CindyBlu My family’s business had evolved a lot since my grandfather had started it, and we were proud of moving with the times. So now we are a leading player in the small business sector of DVD, Blue Ray, and online training modules. We had reduced our cost base, only worked with freelancers, and took cash up front to ensure a continuous positive cash flow, so the business should have been in excellent health, and I thought it was.

Rose wasn’t her real name, but it had been easier to Anglicise her name rather than trying to teach English speakers her Chinese name. Rose worked as a lab technician to make enough money to see her through the many years of study and training it would take to be a pathologist, as the small amounts of money her parents could send her
Read moreBy Anon Part of my training in journalism was being taught to keep a journal of my daily experiences and thoughts. The content of each incident was supposedly less critical than any reflections you might make later about these experiences. This is one such narrative. My widowed father died when I was twenty-eight, a year ago now. He left me his townhouse and the general estate. It gave me a vehicle and a posh place to stay for that summer

The slightest movement of either her or the dog sent new waves of pleasurable thrill through her system and made sure she climaxed repeatedly. The dog heaved one last time and, if possible, shoved the massive purple weapon further into her and through the neck of her

Not much there except about five houses, an old general store which is a museum of sorts, only open on certain days of the year like the 4th of July. Well, as I said, most folks don’t know where it is. I didn’t either,

My best friend Christine’s dress shop venture, for example. Something told me that it would be a disaster since its inception. I did not say a word to anyone, but I did make notes on my prediction. I just knew that the dress shop idea wasn’t right. A similar future prediction and premonition
Read moreBy curiousNat I came from a strict catholic family. Raised to believe that sex belonged in marriage, between a man and woman, and anything else was wrong. It had been that way in the house I grew up in for as long as I could remember, and I never once had a reason to question the beliefs being enforced onto me. I went to an all-girls school, attended church every Sunday, had bible hours every night, did all my chores,
Read moreBy Jenk9 I currently live in a building that does not allow pets except for Dan’s Golden Lab (Nick) because Dan is entirely blind, and Nick is his guide dog. When I first met Dan about two years ago, he didn’t have a guide dog as he couldn’t afford one. Most of us who lived on the third floor with Dan would help him when we could, and we all got on very well with him. Since Dan lived directly

The final bell of school had rang and she was on her way home. A few of her friends drove by in their Jeep to offer her a ride home but she refused. Home was only a mile and a half away and rather than worry about the troubles of bringing a car on campus,

He said he wouldn’t take long to nip down to the garage and back, and he left me in charge of his big ugly black mutt! Don’t ask me what breed it was. All I knew was it was bloody huge and slobbered all over the damn place, and
