I woke at 5:30 to a text from Lillian, sent overnight. “Hello, dear boy, are you available to speak on the phone at some stage this morning? I’m available from 11:00 until noon. Let me know if you can please, Lillian. X” I replied that I could fit it in at 11:30, curious to know what she needed. Aisling stirred beside me as I returned my phone to the charger beside the bed. I lay on my back gathering my thoughts, visualis...

Susan sat across from her husband, Mark, in their quiet suburban home, the scent of roast chicken and garlic mashed potatoes filling the air. The TV droned on in the background, the evening news recounting the mundane events of the day. She poked at her food, her thoughts wandering to the conference she had attended the week before.

I was on edge all week at the thought of having neighbours at our place again.

Glen, the son, is a long-divorced guy whose children have grown and left home. He has lived alone for many...

She dresses conservatively, some would say mousey. She is very petite with small A-cup breasts and stands at only 5'2". Her hair is light red, long, and curly, and is the softest that I have ever felt. Soaking wet, she weighs at most one hundred pounds. I hav...

Life can be so much stranger than we expect or imagine. I’m sitting on my best friend Bob’s pool deck with a beer in my hand and wondering about the oddness of life. Why, you ask? I’ll tell you, but I doubt you’ll believe it. Beginnings are usually the best place to start, and rather than give you a play-by-play of my life, I’ll start at the beginning that really matters. I went to work for Ditco as an engineer right out...
