Logan Miller sat in his college dorm room staring at his online lecture notes from Professor Crandall’s organic chemistry class.  He groaned to himself at his low C grade.  His roommate, Tyler, had already left on his Friday night date.  Who was it?  Hannah, Emily or was it Savannah?  He couldn’t keep them straight but [...]

Lights Out

Marsha treated her thick, dark hair to a home body permanent once a month with great success—except for tonight.  Halfway through the perm process the electricity went off.  What went wrong?  This had never happened before in her apartment at Dodge City, Kansas. As she pawed through her kitchen junk drawer for a flashlight, she [...]

“Kid, you’re late.”  Bart’s half smile let Amber know that she wasn’t fired, at least not yet anyway. “I’m only a few seconds late, besides, in a lot of locations it would be called fashionably late.” “Not at the Oasis.  Tables six and seven haven’t been helped yet.  Beware, they look like potential muffins.” “Aren’t [...]

Heat

My sheets had been cold for so long, since Ted left me, yet here I was trying to find someone for Anita. But she was my best friend. And she was blind. “Now quit arguing.” I laughed as she entered her answers into the computer. “A guy I work with, Phil, was terribly shy. He [...]

“Hi, Tim,” Leslie said, as she dashed off to History class one Thursday morning. “Hi, Leslie,” I replied, with a lump in my throat.  Leslie Morgan’s necklace sparkled, and I gazed in awe at her attractive bracelet as her cell phone ringtone wafted my way.  My pulse raced, and my body froze when I saw [...]

We all checked out of our various hotel rooms and piled into the cars.  A bunch of us, loosely from the same dorm, had driven down from the U to watch the men’s basketball team in the finals.  We won, so that morning everyone was laughing and joking and in good spirits.  I was in [...]

Silver Lining

Julia Cartwright uncrossed her legs and set her teacup on the breakfast table. Life didn’t always turn out the way she wanted it to. Drawing her sheer housedress around her shoulders, she stood and strolled to the bay window that overlooked the train station and Greta’s bakery. The glow from the street’s light posts dimmed as [...]

After a two hour plane ride, the last thing I wanted to do was stand in line waiting for a rental car. I tapped my foot and peered around the man in front of me. How long could it take one person to rent a car? I adjusted my super size sunglasses and tried to [...]

“Tracy, this is absolutely beautiful,” Dawn said, caressing the large agate stone with her fingertip. The vintage sterling silver bangle surrounded her wrist with elegance and class. “You’re too good to me.” “I’m glad you like it. There were so many to choose from. They make them right there on the island.” Dawn stood and [...]

Home is Where The Heart Is

“I’ll see you Thursday night, Jess,” Jack Maguire said to his wife. He wiped a smudge of baby food from her cheek before pressing his lips to hers. It was their usual Sunday night routine. Saying goodbye. Their youngest, baby Ella, bounced in her mother’s arms until her dad leaned over and planted a raspberry [...]
