OK, I have added some new paragraphs to keep my readers happy...

“Oh, shit!” was all I could say in response, “Davies Walker, go and wash your mouth out with soap this instant!” I heard my mother say in the background. “Oops, sorry Mum, it is just a bit of a shock with what Aiden just told me, so what has happened, why are you crying Aiden?” I replied. “He beat the hell out of me, and I now have a broken arm, bruised kidney and other cuts and bruises,” Aiden said before he began crying again. “He is ok son, we have just left the hospital, and your father

Life was going great, well I thought it was until one late Autumn afternoon, I received a phone call from my ex-wife, who informed me that our only child, 12-year Jonah Hunter Langston, had run away from home, after being forced to admit that he was gay, to his mother and step-father, and she admitted that our son had been receiving a number of slaps on the face and a lot of verbal abuse by his step-father. I had been separated from Karen for over three years now, and the divorce was finalis

It took me a good twenty minutes of arguing over the telephone to get most of the information out of Karen on what had happened, what shocked me the most was that this has happened over a week ago, and she was only just now starting to worry, after presuming that Jonah had gone to stay with friends for a while.

Of course, you know I love doing that to my readers...

Oh ok, on maps it states that it is a city. it has a population of over 90 thousand apparently.

“Before he left, he told me to get you to grab his suitcase, and bring it with you,” Mrs Hill said as she headed into her living quarters, while I headed to my quarters to grab my mobile phone and wallet, which I should have not left behind, meeting up back in the kitchen, Mrs Hill was on the house phone, ordering a cab. I was surprised that it took us only fifteen minutes to get to the hospital, and on making enquiries at the emergency department, we were informed that Mr Wright was curren

The present was a recent family photo of just Mum, Aiden and Michaela, with a silver frame. It was just perfect and I would treasure it forever. Although I missed spending Christmas with the family, I was kept extra busy on Christmas Day, helping with serving meals to the needy families, and later sitting down with the other volunteers, to our own Christmas celebration, once the families had left. The following morning, Mr Wright came to my apartment and announced that we will be spending

After seven whole weeks, the building of the accommodation was finally completed, with Travis and I moving into our new home, just a few days after Nigel and Mitchell had moved into their house. It was decided to use the transportable that has been used as a lunchroom for the building team, be used as a recreation space, at the village, so a concrete slab was poured at the back end of the village, and once it had cured, the heli-crane came once more to relocate the transportable building to it’s

As we walked along the bridge, I informed my father, that Travis would be my administration manager, to liaise with him at Wake Island and with Jocelyn on the Aquaria, and Mitchell will be overseeing the installation of all of the buildings, and the 350-metres of the raised boardwalk on Little B Island, and the 3.4-kilometres of the raised boardwalk on the main island, plus ordering and collecting all supplies that are needed for the programme. When we were passing the helicopter, Dad was ha

Hi, I am trying to find a story I read a while back, about a guy who is employed by an old school mate, to be a minder for his difficult younger brother. does anyone know the name of the story? Quokka

The four of us met up for dinner in the hotel restaurant a few hours later, and I could see right away, as we approached them, that Nigel and Mitchell are getting along a lot better than we expected, with Travis turning to me and raising an eyebrow, which made me laugh, as we approached the table were they were already seated. During dinner, we discussed plans for the next few days. Mitchell said that he had already checked out the boat, which has the name ‘Baby Aquaria’ on it, which was a

"Now with four submarines patrolling the world’s oceans, I was being kept quite busy, with coordinating port calls for each of the vessels, and liaising with the authorities in each county, and if there was ever an issue that arises, I just refer the matter to the United Nations representative on board, which thankfully didn’t happen too much, mostly because I mostly involved the UN rep with all plans for the submarines visiting foreign ports. “Sir, a message from headquarters, you are to go

“I have no say in the matter, sir, my parents have been funding my higher education costs, and they have withdrawn any future funding as of the end of this semester, due to a conflict of interest. I will not be homeless, however, as I have managed to secure a well-paying job, which includes accommodation, and once I have left this office, I will be commencing to pack my belongings and moving out, as the accommodation is available immediately, and I will complete my semester exams and defer

When I woke in the morning to the sound of my alarm clock, it took me a few moments to remember why I set the alarm for a Saturday morning, and when I did, I smiled before jumping out of bed and heading to the bathroom for a shower. Once I had showered, I dressed casually, before heading to the dining room for some breakfast, as I didn’t want to go to the meeting on an empty stomach. Back in my room, and with just 55 minutes to go, I called the taxi company and booked a taxi for 25 minutes,
