“You’re going to get caught.” Her voice startled me. I was at the bar getting a drink, doing the usual pre-game for Friday night out with the girls. There were five of us that night; there had been a sixth, but she had already found what she was looking for before we even got to the club, a tall blonde stud that oozed sex appeal. We all knew we wouldn’t be seeing her again until Monday morning at the office. Turning sligh...

They take a booth in the diner and order coffee. The end of a first date. "It's been fun. You're cool," he says. Her hand extends slowly. "You rock, too," she smiles, fingers tickling his thigh. His hand hesitantly touches hers, moving fingers in a questing dance. "I've never felt like this before," he whispers, glancing around. "I know," her hand squeezes. "You're so different."

Friday afternoon I left work around 4:00 pm, even though our office wouldn't close for a couple of hours yet. I was eager to get a head start on my trip and had already packed and locked the house up that morning before leaving for work.

"This is Roger, I'm just calling to let you know I made it to St. Louis okay," I said. "Oh, hi, Daddy!" sh...

Times in Motor City hadn't been good for a while: the economy had tanked, jobs were being moved overseas by the thousands as cheaper labor costs were found, putting more and more people out of work, and plants seemed to be shutting down daily. Competition with foreign auto manufacturers had made the phrase "Buy American" an outdated philosophy.

By failing light, the sky turning dark, you sit across from me.A freshening breeze, as candle lights dance, here on my balcony. You sigh content, you stretch your arms, laying your hands in mine.I squeeze them tight, so happy that you are now with me all the timeIf this is only a dream, wake me up now, cos I wouldn't know what to do.But you squeeze my hands back and I know that it's real, that I really do have you.“That d...
