“Life's a Beach and Then...” by Jaime Faulkner

Submitted to Contest #83

Jessica was sitting on the beach in an isolated cove, sunbathing in the nude, when a man walked out of the sea. That's odd, she thought, because she knew she'd seen nobody enter the water since she'd arrived a couple of hours ago.

He'd been wondering what to do for their son's upcoming party, and the idea intrigued him - right up until he saw the cost. $200 for one hour! Wow!

“A Novel Idea” by Jaime Faulkner

Submitted to Contest #77

The crackling of the logs in the fireplace was the only sound Laura could hear. And she was OK with that. Well, better than OK actually, because it was precisely what she’d wanted, the reason she’d rented this remote cabin for the week.
