The young...

What happened last Friday? Well, it was certainly a normal start to the day – I got up, showered, and changed for my job as a legal secretary. I put on a black tip with a red and black patterned skirt, and old but comfortable knee length black leather boots. Once I had brushed my hair, I put on my p...

Brian Holderness-Carter smiled as he looked across the table at the couple who were sipping their cappuccinos. “Thanks for agreeing to meet up – it’s been a while.” Mark Williamson nodded as he said “well, given we were both in the area on holiday, it made sense – but what brought you to this side o...

It is, of course, not the first time the UK has faced a severe national crisis and a time of work-related strikes. So, What If Beauty and the Best had been around in the Seventies… “Does your granny always tell you, that the old songs are the best…” Edie Coolidge smiled as she put the final decorat...

One week ago “You’re joking?” “I wish I was,” Sarah Holderness-Carter said as she looked at Sarah and Bart playing on the floor, “but I’m not.” “But I know Amanda Welsh,” Mark Williamson said as he looked at the photos on the low table. “She’s as straight as straight can be – Welsh Investments is o...

“Hey,” Barbara said as she came into the kitchen of the flat she shared with her partner, “good day?” “Busy one,” Tom said after he put his mug down, “I was helping a friend do a big delivery to the manor house.” “Really? What was it?” “Furniture mainly – the mistress of the house was doing a bit of...

New Mexico As we headed further south, we grew to appreciate just how large, how diverse, and really how beautiful this country was. Even after our more recent experiences, there was still much to admire in the scenery, and the welcome we got in most places. Our trip had taken us into New Mexico, a...

Jennifer stepped out from the gym, looking round and smiling as she held her bag in her hand. She was a woman in her late forties, just over six foot tall with long dark brown hair that fell down over her shoulders. She was wearing a long-sleeved grey top and leggings, the sides of the arms and legs...

I know that lockdown has eased significantly, but I am amazed to find there is still a booming business for the likes of me to provide family challenges which utilise the skills I have from my other line of work. I also have to admit it can be more – fun, if I can use that word… Let me give some exa...

Lovely read. @KP Presents I enjoyed reading the Heidi stories, on your site. Maybe you can compile them all in a single thread here? It would be easier to read it chronologically. :D There was an order on the previous version of this site - but maybe in another folder here... Might even get me to w...

6.30 pm “Lord, bless this food to us and our time together.” “Amen.” Everyone – parents and children – in the front room, Jay having asked them if they would remain calm and not try to call for help. When they all nodded, they started to eat the pizzas and snacks that Amy had prepared – as Chuck sa...

Nevada When Janna told me about the young boy and the gun, I was so proud of her for the way she handled it – and so scared that something tragic may have happened. I made sure she and Tammy spent the next day together while I did the driving, heading south and east until we crossed the state borde...

Every possibility...

Charles groaned as he heard the Australian accent, and then his sister Martha was walked into the room. She had long dark hair, and was wearing a short sleeved grey dress with a fern print, dark tights and a pair of mid-calf black leather boots. She was followed by two twelve-year-old girls, both we...

I've updated the firts story, and i think the second part shows what my be coming...

Oregon On the drive to our next stop that night, Steve told me what had happened. I was proud of him for coping as he did – and glad they did not have a gun in that house. It was going to be my turn, and I have to admit, although we carry starting pistols I was not sure how I would react of a real ...

I'm glad my comment didn't offend. :) To be clear, though, my advice applies to most of your stories, not just this one. Almost all the ones I've read by you would benefit from some more twists and turns to add more tension, conflict, and surprise. That and some more flavor would make them stand ou...

[mention]Shotrow[/mention] you know what - you're right. Let me redo this...

Noon The Stone mansion lay off the main road on a hill, the well-manicured lawns surrounding the white two storey building. Following the recent death of the Stone patriarch, the house had passed onto his oldest son – thirty-year-old Charles Stone, who lived there with his wife Emma and their six-y...

Washington State One of the things that is nice about having a daughter who is under school age is we can take long holidays out of season – which is why Janna and I had flown into Seattle yesterday with her, and rented a mobile home for a week. I’d always wanted to see something of America – but w...
