With joy in my heart I started singingOf a friendship, unexpected, so bold,How to express the joy and fresh ringingThat resounds in all the halls of your soul. When you are the one someone wants to know,When you are the one that she seeks to meet,It gives you a reason to shine, to glow,To think that you have achieved a great feat. It happened to me several months ago,Out of the blue a request, friendship sought.Never a th...

The Pair He sat in the shade at the start of fourth grade, with a head that was polished and bare – watching us boys making laughter and noise but unwilling to join the affair. I wasn’t sure why he would capture my eye, why he stood out from all who were there – perhaps looking down at his smooth shiny crown, I was moved by his absence of hair. The vibes he would send said he needed a friend, but his feelings, he’d never...

It was another lousy night of sleep. Three days already and still jet lag manages to find me. The morning people don’t help either, they even formed a morning club just to give the morning announcements. What surprises me is that Fei is not apart of the group and what surprises me more is that she hates it more then Raven. “Good morning, my fellow miners” the overly cheerful announcement girl’s voice blasted through the s...

I wantit made crystal clear that this story is certainly not based on personal experience but after talking to my wife's side of the family I've learned a few things. Ooooh, Where's that aspirin, it's supposed to be right here. Why did somebody move the aspirin? Ah, there it is, thank God. Should I take one or two? I better take four, all it can do is kill me and right now, that would be a relief. What do I wash it down w...

It’s not even an official holidayBut it creates so much happiness in life‘Trick or treat’, those cheerful wordsAlways bring big smiles to our faces Isn't that niceFor at least one day in a yearWe let our guards down a littleTaking the candies from strangersAnd sharing our kindness with them It’s a dayThe children show their cutenessAnd adults reveal their childish sideDemonstrating to the worldThat person you always wante...

Across the miles and hours and minutesRests the embrace that holds my heart.So dear our ramblings;So happy our silliness;So close I hold my friend to me.Little glimpses of our faces,Sliding thoughts and running dreamsTraverse the earth in gentle companionship.No hope of holding the other's hand,Or sharing a bag of cookies.No cuddles, no swift kiss "Hello",No shifting of impatient feetAs we wonder why the other is late.Onl...

Carol was extremely uncomfortable as she sat at the small corner booth. She had every right to be, sitting alone in this bar full of amorous young men.She was an exceedingly attractive young woman. She was medium height but could be described as buxom and curvaceous. She had shoulder length, light auburn hair with blond highlights. Her facial features were just a slight bit awry from perfect, but it only added to her char...

Tom Jarret was a hermit. At least, that is how the few people that knew of his existence thought of him. He thought nothing of the kind, because he never thought about it. He knew who he was and that was sufficient. He had grown up an aloof child, having no friends to speak of, which didn't bother him in the least. He was raised by a dispassionate father who never offered any feelings of affection but did, however, provid...

I've tried to write this as a stand alone story but might be better understood if you first read “The Town Drunk” which can be found on my page. David Meyer and his partner, Emmett Wolf, had become wealthy men when they had partnered on a gold mine. Almost overnight, they had been changed from whiskey swilling virtual nonentities to whiskey swilling respected, even influential, citizens of the town. The habits that they h...

There wasn't a day that went by where Lily didn't think about the baby. Blonde hair that fell in wisps around her delicate elfin face. The way the sun had lit her from behind so that she appeared as if surrounded by a halo of light. Her smile, pulling at Lily's Heart, as little fingers waved hello.This was the vision Lily Green had had of her child six months before she'd fallen pregnant. Despite this, she and Ben were st...

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...

Prologue:With permission, my response to a poem written by a friend to all here on Stories Space. This Is Me: by wildrose_girl.My hairs too long, my body too short. You have what was given you, by the genetics' court. When I laugh really hard, sometime I snort. I hope one day, to hear you laugh and snort. My belly too round, my backside too wide. What should it matter? Stand fast with pride. No matter what I do I can neve...
