*Kisses*I was seating on a seat in a busy café. I was feeling uncomfortable, trying my best to bury myself in the cushioned seat. The time was 12:32. It was a typical Monday, with crowds of people coming in and out. Jessica surveyed the crowd with cautious eyes. Small sweat drops flowed down her forehead. "It's not my fault", she muttered." It's not my fault.". A man approached her, she immediately froze. The man was average height with a small bulge in his belly. His brown eyes seem to smile happily. His leaps pursed to reveal white, even t...

*Contains Miled Sexual content * StrandedWe were in it together. Both of us alone in the ocean. Our heads bobbing with the waves. We had one surf board. Perhaps we can untangle ourselves from this mess before it even happened. Every late June friends and colleges would celebrate the beginning of the summer. My family and I enjoyed getting their early, before the sun set. My two kids, Eli and Orly, had friends the same age. My wife and I would schmooze and enjoy some quality time. Friends from all social background- scientist, lawyers and doc...

* Might contain some sexual Reference* A Very Long StoryI was smoking a cigarette. I noticed a man walking towards me. He was smiling and happy. I quickly scanned my brain.

Dear love,You have been ignoring my Facebook messages. Maybe it's because your busy working and I don't want to press you. I've been following your posts and some of them are great. The one with you at the zoo is phenomenal! Do you remember as kids how we used to travel around the country and go on some exciting hikes. Our parents… I was so proud of you. I don't want to make the wrong impression, I didn't realize you were the love of my life. It's been 40 years since… Last time we met you said you were having a difficult time and what was th...

It was noted they showed no remorse, no fear.:You deceit and cause fear among us. Your father would be ashamed if he ...

The mother quickly grew tired of trying to breast feed the baby adnd the family would stock up on this specific baby food for it was hard to buy. The first winter arrived and it rained and rained. They family was poor and often warmed up with blankets staring at the T.V. during the evening, each deep in thoughts. They espicially en...
I accepted a offer. When I started to work I was offered a deal, since I never graduated college, I had a hard time finding a job. Because my boss desperatley was looking for workers, because there is always a shortage of people where I worked before. The company, the factory. Yes, I worked in more factories than I can remember, but there was something different about this one. I had just finished becoming a Electrician. I was living with my parents, was looking closely of becoming 30 , and a bit overweight. So when my boss- A chemical Engin...
I don't share my thoughts, I don't know who to share with and even if I had someone I can trust, I don't see the point. My family enjoys my company and I don't feel the need to impress them. My work colleges aren't interested and busy at work, and my therapist would always say the same thing: "I see right through you, you aren't trying hard enough". So a tip for people who tend to get lost: Don't ever take a deture. never. And addictions. Don't indulge in thinking about yourself. It's called selfish. When I grow up and have a family of my ow...
