    Obsession

    His movements were languid and smooth, as he posed like one born to the modeling profession. His golden hair shone in the midday sunlight, tousled by the breeze like an intent hairstylist. He had no formal training but didn’t need it. The upturn of his mouth, eye contact at just the right moment, sculpted body at just the right angle—he oozed sensuality with no effort on his part. I don’t think he had any idea of the effect he had on people. Passersby of both sexes frequently gave him a seco
  2. Danny is the most beautiful man Hank has ever seen. He knows they're meant to be together, whether Danny feels the same way or not.
  3. I am terrified of bees, so five to me is a swarm... lol I've actually encountered two large swarms in my lifetime and hope I never do again. Very scary! Thanks for the review. I'm glad you liked it!
  4. The door flew open with a loud bang, followed by a frantic Owen barging his way into the house. The garbage bag he was carrying snagged on the doorframe, ripping and spilling its contents all over the front hallway. He slammed the door shut and stood with his back against it, chest heaving. Sweat ran in rivulets down his pale face and his eyes were wide with fear. I set down the lemon I’d been slicing and ran over to him. “What happened? What’s wrong?” He pointed to our front yard shakily.
  5. Nope, never heard of him. As for the rest of the comments, I am too tired to think of a cogent reply right now.
  6. I live in Buffalo, NY and am appalled to be on the top of this list. It is definitely NOT my experience as someone born and raised here. Are there homophobes and racists here? Yes, but I don't think with any more prevalence than the rest of the country.
  7. Even though filet mignon is supposed to be the best cut of steak, I personally prefer rib-eyes or T-bone or NY strip. They're fattier and have more flavor, IMO. Thin Mints are one of my fave GS cookies, too. Especially right from the freezer. I have to agree with your son on the Samoas, though. They are quite tasty. I just wish they came with more for the price you have to pay for a box. The story idea sounds interesting. Lots of different directions it can go.
  8. I love Renee's short stories. So nice to see them featured. I'm not sure I've read all of these, so I'll be sure to check them out before the end of the month.
  9. I was totally in love with Duran Duran when I was a kid. My best friend wanted to marry Simon LeBon and I vacillated between Nick Rhodes and John Taylor. I agree that they wore their make-up well.

    Chapter 3

    This was a very thought-provoking chapter. Jacob is a remarkable young man. He realizes that what he's been taught is wrong, but is afraid of that realization based on the indoctrination that his father has ingrained in him. His mother doesn't seem like a bad person - she seems to be questioning her husband's views, also. I wonder if she'll have the guts to stand up to him if push comes to shove? Great story. I'm really enjoying it so far.

    The jousting is one of my favorite things to watch at Ren Faires. I've never seen anyone impaled though, thank goodness! Thanks for reading and leaving a review

    Thanks, Tim. I think most people would have that reaction to seeing someone impaled on a lance. I appreciate you taking the time to leave a review. I'm glad you liked it!
  15. Awww...what a sweet prompt Stefan needs to lighten up a bit. Three lessons isn't enough for anyone to become the next Baryshnikov lol I was hoping we'd see the hot fireman again. I loved his response at the end. Nice job!
  16. I'm a total child of the '80s. I think men wearing make-up is hot. Especially guyliner.

    Prompt 476

    They do when they see a giant lance sticking out of someone's shoulder... even if it is unprofessional of them. I thought about naming him "Sven", but I like "Soren" better lol Thanks for the review, LBO. I'm glad you liked it.

    Thanks, Addy I started it a couple of weeks ago and finally got around to finishing it. lol When I read the ambulance prompt, I thought about a story I saw on tv about a knight who was impaled on his own sword. That made me think of jousting, and then led to my prompt idea. lol I'm glad you liked it
  23. “Quick, call an ambulance!” The voice sounded far away and tinny – like I was listening through a soup can. Which wasn’t too far off the mark, I suppose, considering the helmet I was wearing. Hot breath blew on my face in steady puffs. I wrinkled my nose. It smelled like hay and apples. I heard the dull thud of hooves walking away from me, then a concerned voice. “Can you hear me, Soren?” I blinked and did a mental check of my extremities. I wasn’t in any pain – I just felt a lot of p
  24. No...I don't walk straight...lol but not because of my socks. I'm glad you commented on your selection of names. One thing I really like about your stories are the names. I've always been fascinated by the meaning of names and take great care in my own stories when choosing names. Two other comments: I love Sam Gamgee, too. He's the definition of loyal friend. My other comment is that cats are pretty awesome, too. Even non housecats
