He had been a care worker for 20 years, ever since he left school. The pay was not much, but he loved the work. Most of the old ladies he looked after in the home he worked adored him, and thought of him as “a lovely young man.” Then things changed. A new government won an election and took office. He could still remember the new speaking in the elections “For too long we have kept our old folk locked away in large, institutionalised homes. If we win the election we will do everything we can to keep them in the community. We phase out grants to residential homes for the elderly and instead spend the money on providing domiciliary care for old people in their homes.” For once the new government kept its promises. Without a year his home had closed down and he was looking for work. Read more…

He hated wedding receptions. Well, he hated the enforced bonhomie and bad jokes that such events lent themselves to.
He didn’t hate the ladies fashions though. His usually nervous in most social situations mind’s eyes were especially drawn to the long elegant and breathtakingly alluring satin and silk charmeuse dresses, doubly especially the bridesmaids ones. He also felt safe and secure and rather comforted by the long two piece sets that the mothers of the bride and groom wore.

My Shuttle had just docked at the space station. We all slowly disembarked. Me and a few others were very excited as we had been picked as civilian members of the mission of Exploration into deep space. As we headed through a big lounge, full of people coming to and from the station, we passed a large window looking out over the Earth flickering in the distance. It looked like a beautiful Gem in the blackness of space. Its a sight that takes your breath away. Read more…

My lovely wife Luisa and I had looked forward to our vacation. We had been married for nearly three yearsand hadn’t had a real vacation during that time.
We saved for our vacation and looked at what seemed to be hundreds of travel brochures. We studied Florida, Bali, France, Germany, Italy and the rest of Europe, Jamaica, Rio, Africa . . . even Nepal. We considered scuba diving, sun bathing, dancing, museums, mountain climbing and safaris. All these were interesting but none of them really captured our imagination.
Finally we received a flyer in the mail from Occult Vacations. It promised a tour of Northern England’s haunted castles. I guess in the process of our search we had made all the mailing lists. Read more…

The sign over the audio store said “MarquesaCo Electronics.” Harry walked in to the store with the intention of buying a great audio system with big powerful speakers but as he entered he looked around and saw all the sales people were women! Every one knows ‘broads’ don’t know anything about speakers! It was too technical….too masculine for ‘broads’! He had to admit the girls looked good, but he wasn’t about to buy a stereo from one of them…maybe a microwave oven…or a refrigerator…but certainly not a stereo! He was about to turn around and leave when a real sexy sales girl walked up and introduced herself. “Hi! Welcome to MarquesaCo. My name is Cynthia. What do you need today?” Read more…
