In-law/Out-law
I was 9 months pregnant and we were looking at daycares for Audrey, my two year old daughter. This all stemmed from Tonnie and Allen telling me that it was a little too much for them to watch Audrey anymore at the flower ...

And so the story goes on
Mother told me she remembered the day I was born. She walked to the hospital which was only a couple blocks away. At the time she told me this I was fascinated that she walked alone, but not so much now that I had kids ...

Bloody Hell
I’m taking this opportunity to use the muse of another SOML member. That is the nice thing about this website. Memories are triggered by many stories that others are shamelessly opening up about.
I don’t remember how old ...

Road Whore
(I think this is a better title than Guy Friends. Also, I decided to change my friend's name to Troy. I know you don't mind, Troy. Nothing to hide. Besides I didn't want to confuse people about my coworker who's name is Tony.)

Oh, Larry
I sat at Larry’s control point every day after that initial visit. We were on nightshift so he wasn’t too busy. I would get my work done in an hour and spend the rest of the night there talking with him. I wish I could remember ...

His only letter to me
Charissa,
I'm sorry that I didn't make for a good fare-well. I'm so very screwed up that I don't have a clue as to how to express myself.
I feel so very ugly all the time (except whenever you were there). I have always ...

The Knife
I asked him several times to meet me after work at the local hang-out bar. From his reaction I didn’t think he would show. For the last few weeks I was on cloud nine. Every hour, every minute, every second I savored because I ...

I hate you
I hate you. I hate the fact that you make everything ok. I hate it when you understand how I feel and don't have to put it into words. I hate how smart you are. How you have changed your world and are a better person for it. ...

Inspired yet again by another SOML story. A gentlemen talked about how society is more dangerous in his town and kids are destroying things. A comment was made of kids wanting so much all the time. Here are my thoughts ...

Greasy spatula vs. the butcher knife
One of those average days when my brother was beating the crap out of me. No one was home except us. He had already chased me all over the house a half dozen times. None of the rooms in this old home had locks on the doors. My ...

Eric was taken down
As always Eric's got me pinned on the ground once again and is pounding me.
What did I do now?

Down and give me 20
At 16, my brother, Eric, quit school and got his GED and joined the Marines.
Thank God!
He was what I called a "dirtball" in school. Growing up in elementary he was more of a trendy kid and then when he went into junior ...
