When Andy entered TLS, I jokingly said I would do so the following year. After what I’d done to the crew, I thought that I’d have no chance as no farmer is stupid enough to put out a sign WELCOME FOX: HERE ARE SOME SIDES FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE>>, but I decided to enter anyway. What am I looking for? I mused. If I was a lot younger, Andy or Jake is my honest answer as they are respectful, intelligent and attractive and...

Crouch End wasn't the best part of London to live in but her flat was a lot better than my old bedsit in the Holloway Road and definitely better than Richie's sofa! Jan and I decided that our relationship was going well enough to perhaps get a bigger flat. We looked at a few places and eventually, rented a place in Stamford Hill, a bit further out from central London. It wasn't a bad flat but the suburban railway line ran...

I was a simple young man; I did not watch much sports but did spend a great deal of my time in the gym or I would be out in the mountains cycling or hiking on my own. The winter had been exceptionally frosty this year and the air was crisp on this particular morning with a sort of bite on the skin when the wind blew. I had already opened up the shop and was ready for the day when I spotted Lea's car stopping in the usual...

My eyes shut tightly Not wanting to see But my ears refuse deafness To his changing tune   The song I thought was ours He sings to another His words play sharp Piercing my heart   My feet stumble Tripping over each other Unable to keep time With the irregular beat   The music stops Silence ensues   My life becomes monotone Fading into nothingness For without music There is no color   I blend into the background No one see...

After Emma and Donald leave Sasha and Joseph that night, things happen.  Well, actually things started happening a bit earlier. Sasha gets to the church early at the request of Karen and Julie.  They have got a lot of flowers and candles to decorate the chapel and ask Sasha to help them.  She is more than happy to, in just some shorts and a tank top then as she garnishes the church.  The candles ready to be lit when Emma...

It started off innocently enough.  I was driving from my mother’s house to get back to where I live so I could get ready for work.  I stopped at the light coming out of her neighborhood and saw a girl standing in the rain at the bus stop.  It was “my” bus stop – the same one I had stood at for four years of High School. The girl had no umbrella and the rain was steadily soaking her.  She stood with her head down, her stra...

Jordan came into work, and I could tell he needed to talk. He walked into my office, shutting the door behind him. It had been about two weeks since we came back home, and I wondered if he was about to tell me his decision. I had been anxiously awaiting his answer. "I need to talk to you." "Okay, what's going on?" "I haven't slept since we came back home. All I keep thinking about is you. I lay awake, wanting you." "Okay....

His butt was getting numb. Squirming around for relief had become an impossible endeavor. It had been hours since he left Miami in the bed of that rickety, vibrating pick-up truck. Brad’s legs ached and he desperately needed to stretch and walk around. Twisting around to look forward through the cab windows only frustrated him more. “Shit! I can’t even see the next island.” In despair, Brad drooped his shoulders and tugge...
