My name is Katie, and I’m mid-forties, married, with two grown daughters and a lovely husband, Jeff. My Jeffrey is a warm, loving, easygoing sort of guy that has never had a problem giving in to me when I am serious about something. He lets me call the shots, as it were, and now looking back on our relationship, even before marriage, I would have to admit I’ve always been …

It was late autumn of 1972. Back then, the freshman basketball team played separately from the varsity team. Gina filed into the gymnasium with college kids and other adults. Just because it was a small state college, didn’t mean that parents weren’t just as proud of their children and they attended the games to lend support. Stepping into the college’s basketball arena for the first time, Gina scanned the bleachers …

He was a hard-working dwarf, content with his life. The only thing that made him unhappy was the evil queen. Her name was Oana, and Nicu was not angry at her for throwing him around. That was part of the act. He had learned to live with humiliation early. His father toughened him up as much as he could, and he grew strong and learned to fight like a man …

I can’t believe I’m going to doing this. I keep telling myself that Steve and I are just meeting for drinks and nothing else, but my willingness to resist any advances by him . . . well it exist in word only.

I shot up to well over six feet as a young teenager, and that helped propel me into varsity basketball even as a freshman. My height wasn’t the only blessing puberty bestowed on me. As you might …

It had been two years since Tommy Ritter’s father died. Tommy was sixteen when the tragedy occurred. While Tommy missed his dad a lot, it was no more than his mom did. Their life had been ideal–living in the suburbs, two-car garage, and nice schools. Everything was just about perfect until the accident. Bob Ritter had been driving home from work late one night when a drunken driver crossed the …

I felt weird going on a blind date… but after over six months in college and not a single date, my roommate Maria was insistent. Not that she was being altogether altruistic. “You need to meet a nice guy, Annie,” Maria stressed. “What I need is to get these papers done,” I insisted. “It’s only two weeks into the second semester,” Maria pointed out. “How many papers can you have …

I sat in Nita’s office for another session, waiting for her to finish a team meeting. The regular sessions had helped at first, just by giving me an outlet to talk about what was happening. But lately, our chats with each other had gotten contentious. Nita seemed to be losing patience, maybe because she personally cared about me, and was disappointed that I wasn’t following her advice. I sat staring …
