Attraction

life's journey

Attraction It begins as an attraction, much like two magnets are attracted to one another until they combine almost as one. But, when magnets are separated by distance they then lose attraction to one another. Yet, when two young lovers are separated, the compulsion to rejoin one to the other increases the greater the distance apart. Across the room is bearable, across the city is disconcerting, Across the country, almost...

'Til Death us Do Part

Love is about sacrifice, but what is the ultimate sacrifice?

‘Til Death us do Part By Claire Allison   Prital and John were your average couple. They had met at a university in London, and had been swept up into one another’s lives ever since. Prital was young and vibrant, while John was introverted and shy at times. Although they were both complete opposites, they completed each other well. John had been Prital’s professor during her lectures, and Prital had been his perfect stude...

The Blank Canvas

When life is a blank canvas, can freewill change your fate?

Chapter One: The carriage was occupied by the maximum capacity of commuters and even then some. Limbs were branched out endlessly. People had become entwined as if vines suffocating the more fragile twigs surrounding them. There was no emotion portrayed by these people. Nothing. The air itself appeared limp and lethargic, and the group remained mutely civilized while stood like steel, in the intimate positions that had ru...

She was living in an apartment near the center of town, a few blocks from the hospital. She spent most of her time in the room, only venturing out to the grocery store for the most part. She had walked to a nearby park a couple of times and had sat reading a book. She currently had bandages on her face but when she went to the park I had noticed that she did not have any bandages. That made sense. She had just had another...

One day Tom called to let Alex know that he had been promoted to manager of the fast food restaurant. He did not think of this as a job that he would settle for and was going to keep looking for something better, but it would pay enough that he was no longer dependent on Alex to subsidize him. We all decided to get together for dinner to celebrate.Alex had a late photo shoot that day and we all decided to meet at the rest...

Chapter 6On Monday the phone began to ring. A lot of people had seen the news Friday night and I was suddenly a very popular architect. I had meetings all week with prospective clients and my calendar was filling up for the next several months. I figured I’d be busy for a while and then drop off as people began to forget. I’d forgotten about the Cosmopolitan article.The magazine came out about a week after the news piece....

The news came on at 6:00 but we agreed that I would get there early and help her with dinner. I knocked on the door at 5:30 and Karin opened the door. Karin is a pretty woman in her own right. She stood there blocking the door and looking at me. She was wearing a low cut blouse and I could not stop myself from looking. She smiled and stepped aside, but as I walked past her she whispered, "If things don't work out for you...

Friday morning I was working on the Skinner job when my doorbell rang. When I opened the door a woman was standing there with a microphone and a man standing behind her with a camera. The woman with the mic was attractive, with long brown hair."Mr Conners?" she asked. "Yes, what can I do for you?" "My name is Elizabeth Espinosa and I'm a reporter for KTLA, a local news station. If you have a few minutes I'd like to talk t...

Love Created

She was the most beautiful woman he knew. Ronald Casey's life is complete when she's around.

She was exquisite, a woman of pure creation. Golden shoulder length hair framing the soft, pink skin of her face. Brilliant green eyes bursting with a sparkle that mesmerize anyone near. Full, gloss covered lips glimmering in the light, hiding behind was a smile that can make all the woes disappear in an instant. The rest of her curves down to her ruby red polished toes made her all woman. All the fantastic features, gift...

The distraction provided by Alex had been good for me because it had gotten my mind off of my family problems. I went back to work in my home workshop and was focused and efficient. A couple of days later I received a phone call from Alex. “How would you like to come over for dinner this weekend,” she asked. “A free dinner isn’t much but I feel I have to do something for you.” “Hi Alex,” I said, “I’m glad you called. I’ve...

Soon afterward the rain began to pick up a little. I turned on my wipers intermittently and thought absently if I should have asked for her phone number. I had a feeling I had missed an opportunity. About 20 minutes later I saw smoke rising up ahead and the cars were beginning to slow down. I was in the fast lane and was hoping that I could get around the problem before the freeway became completely blocked. As I approach...

Cover to Cover - Chapter One

Man rescues woman, then drives away.

Chapter 1The rain was relentless, coming down in sheets that my wipers could barely keep up with. I had slowed to less than 40 miles per hour because the visibility was so bad. I guess it was a fitting end to a gloomy weekend. I had driven 200 miles to see my estranged wife in the hopes that I could convince her to come home and bring our family back together. Not only did she turn me down but she also introduced me to he...

That summer, it was too hot. We didn’t have a thermometer, and even if we had, the little red lines and numbers wouldn’t have meant much to me. But I knew that it wasn’t normal. It couldn’t be. By the time the church clock struck ten it was already too stifling to venture outside. The sun had swelled to an angry pulsing ball of fire which I had come to regard as evil, lancing my eyes with pain when it glanced off the shin...

The Sheriff

Love is like a tattoo ...

Denlea wasn’t the sort of town you’d expect to see a tattoo-come-body-piercing parlour, but there it stood. 'HIBISCUS - Body Art and Massage' shared a row of grey stone terraced buildings with a chip shop, a boutique for mature ladies, a hardware shop, a butcher’s and The Copper Kettle Café. Its neighbours had opposed the opening of the tattoo parlour, objecting to the type of clientele it might attract. Jimmy Marshall wa...

Jodi

A love in hiding

I was watching the last of the soap suds disappear down the plug-hole of the kitchen sink, when I heard a knock at the front door. I looked at the clock on the wall, that smug look on its face, proudly telling me it was very late. I sighed to myself because I knew exactly who was behind the knocking. It had to be Jodi. Only she would be found knocking my door at this time of night. And it was only she that I would ever op...
