A bus appeared and nearly ran me down; I darted out of the way and found my self in a field of poppies. All alone with just the elements and the air, I ran throu...

Martha and Joe Bradshaw lived happily together along with their two children, Josh and Jodie. It was pa...

“Our Little Treasure Cove” by Carolyn Bayne

Life on the island was a pure one, simple and complete. Dr Small lived with his wife Joanna on one of these islands in the Caribbean. It was business as usual to them as well as a way of life, generating great amounts of income, but this was no ordinary resort for those to get away, and it wasn't a holiday, it was something more or less to recharge the human body back to normality. The island was situated...
