Amazing Grace
Grace was working during the summer at the nursery at Berry Forge up in Canada. It made a change from campus life to be out in the country and in the open air all day, away from the city. At weekends she would normally go hiking, but this weekend would be different since, somewhat to…

Singapore Sling
Scott heard the key turn in the lock and looked up as Jasmine came into the apartment. “Do you have the rent money?” he asked her. “It’s over a week into the new month.” “I’m still waiting for the money to come from Singapore,” she replied. “Well, if you don’t have it by tomorrow, you’ll…

Truck Me Hard
He gunned the engine of the eighteen-wheeler and pulled towards the exit from the truck-stop. The truck was full of diesel and he was full of salad and steak and fries. It would be a long evening’s drive before he’d finally have to stop for the night. He was surprised to see a girl hitch-hiking…

Asian Pears

Guest Services: Tuesday
“Can you come and help?” said the pretty young trainee. “What’s the problem, Gina?” Michèle replied. “I’m not sure how to handle this guest, he’s too wound up to even know what the issue is.” Michèle moved down the reception counter so that she was opposite the guest. “What seems to be the problem?” she…

Matchbook
Near Ypres, France 1918 Everybody knew that the Great War was inching inexorably towards its end. But death was still everywhere. The Americans had entered the war and their fresh soldiers rejuvenated the battle-weary allied troops exhausted after four years of attrition. In a field hospital a few miles beyond the killing grounds of the…
