On condition he go to church with her, Alice lets her husband, Francis, wear dresses on Sundays. As it turns out, God is only too willing to bless the newest member of the flock.

The Reluctant Birthday Princess

Edward Mathews sighed as soon as the alarm went off.

He considered calling in sick, but knew that would only delay the inevitable, so he got up, got dressed, and trudged to work.

"What a crappy way to spend my birthday" He thought, as he entered the building that held the company he worked for.

The school day continues! What will I do about Penny's relationship with Lee? Should I be worried about the phone call from Jen? Am I really ready to venture into the mystical realm of the girls' locker room?

I took a deep breath as I peered out the window of my bedroom. Ribbons of pale moonlight streamed through the trees. The moon, high above the treeline was round and full, and glowed like a big fat silver coin. Watching the moonlight stream through the window panes of my room, kind of reminded me of that night. It was a full moon that night too. A sudden knock on the door brought me out of my musing. There in the doorway stood my mother, she was wrapped in her night coat and in her hand she held an old wooden tray that held two extra large mugs.

Pablo’s First Kiss

“Toni!” Rita pulls me into the girls’ bathroom, and tells me, “I heard Brad wants to ask you out.

Remember you have a date with us girls tonight. We are going to the mall."

My school day as Penelope continues as I find out what the wish did to Cindy and some others. I also discover some disturbing evidence that I might have become more than just a girl on the outside.

By Maryanne Peters

Nobody wants to be a burden on their family and friends, but a man with Multiple Sclerosis is a burden.

MS is an autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system. It is more common in women than in men and is usually diagnosed much earlier that it was for me. Less than 5% of MS sufferers are diagnosed after the age of 50. I was 51.

Chapter 21

John had been looking forward to this very moment that he wasn’t about to just get it over with. He was going to savour it as much as he possibly could. These contacts proved to be such a good find. They allowed him to stay anonymous as long as he didn’t give away his voice while still not covering the sissy’s face.

A face even John had to admit was pretty. He had never really noticed it before when Marcy was still Mark but with that nice coating of soft pink lipstick, the pig tails and the way it was completely smooth it definitely had its appeal.

Nearly two weeks without a posting. I think this is a new record for me. But there will be a new chapter for Sunny tomorrow, and I hope to wrap up this story in a few weeks.

CHAPTER 47
Sunday morning’s light told me I had got outside far too much alcohol the previous evening, and with that thought I realised that the evening had actually become morning before I had managed to deliver a very unsteady Mam to our corner of the site.

Hangovers are funny things, because they mirror the preceding state of drunkenness. When plastered, your mind comes up with all sorts of insights and mystical revelations, which will change the course of your life and deliver immeasurable benefits, if you could only recall them the following morning. Instead, the hangover arrives, which allows a detailed examination of the damage you are doing to your health.
