Jason opened the passenger door emblazoned with black lettering advertising " F and F Antiques - PHONE 371- DEAL" . He climbed into the seat of the late model 1998 fire-red Ford-150 truck with great care and excitement, making sure he hadn't tracked in any mud. The vehicle had all the bells and whistles and a matching enclosed utility trailer hitched to the back. Freddy Foster, the proprietor of the business and deluxe transportation package, slid behind the wheel. He started the engine and pull...

Sir Francis begrudgingly parted from his reveries of pork pies, turtle soup and port wine and faced the reality that such delights no longer played a role in the course of his existence. In fact, he hadn't tasted such delicacies in nearly two hundred and fifty years. With a low wistful sigh that even yet contained a glimmer of hope, he quietly pushed aside the bright plastic blue tarp that had been covering him. He blinked his eyes rapidly to assess his surroundings of the utility shed in the dim morning autumn l...

Tess suddenly sat up in bed, struggling for her eyes to gain focus as she roused herself from her nightmare that had been her close companion since she could remember. Her pink rose snap-down nightshirt was bathed in sweat and her fragile heart was thumping in her chest as she grabbed her two squirt guns in her left and right pockets, displacing the kleenex. She listened very carefully and yelled, "Are you there?" Receiving no answer, she swung her legs over the side of the bed, getting...

It was a little after 7 P.M. Eastern Standard Time Monday, September 4th as the five childhood friends relaxed on the dock on the shores of the Great Sacandaga Lake, in various states of intoxication. The group hadn't been all together in several years, as the demands and commitments of life that interfere with once-daily relationships took their toll. This was especially true in this case- ten years out from graduation. College, jobs, relationships, and the nightmare years of...

"Cou - gar !! Cou - gar !! Cougar, Cougar, Cougar !!," was the taunt being hurled in the Clifton Park Wal - Mart toy section at 5 AM. " Bratty Bratz, my boyfriend Ken Carson is only two years younger than me, " said Barbie the Movie doll. Campfire Felicia Bratz replied, "You and Ken are in your sixties - old enough to collect Social Security !! Besides, he's not your boyfriend. You broke up in 2004 when I was only one." Barbie shot back, "I may be a Cougar, but I ...

Tiffany heard the repeated F - bombs exploding all around her - almost one hundred times in rapid succession like a fireworks finale - and was somewhat shocked to realize that she was the guilty culprit of these epitaphs usually foreign to her own vocabulary. She clapped her hand over her mouth to physically muffle the sound since she couldn't force her brain to make the outburst stop. When she finally wrestled control of herself, she smiled ruefully and wondered what the punishment would be ...

Katya hunkered down behind the Great Eastern Hemlock tree, trying to be as inconspicuous as possible. She whispered a loud ,"Sssshh!!," at her younger fifteen year- old sister, Elisabeth, who lay next to her. In this admonition, she most likely made more noise than if she hadn't issued the warning. Elisabeth was the recipient of a spray of spittle that rained down on her blonde hair. Elisabeth toyed with the idea of giving her sister a swift kick, but had learned from experience that the ...

My life is sometimes quiet and oftentimes filled with boundless joy, but that has not always been the case. The happiness derives from the close and interdependent relationship I have with the person with whom I share my life.This bond has in turn enriched the experiences of countless others. I am referring to the celebrated and time-beyond memory pact between man and dog.I am the more loyal and loveable dog of this pairing..I don't do anything crazy-such as talking or driving like dogs on television...
