“Oh, I’m sorry, I-I didn’t mean to interrupt.” I started, quickly straightening in my chair, caught off guard by the young woman who’d just walked into my office. She nervously looked up from her papers, having just crossed the threshold of my frosted glass door, wide open for entry as usual. I rarely closed it … Continue reading Unrealized Gains: Sandra – Ep. 1

Prologue – Midnight Heartbreak Pt.7: Sandra
When she left, I’d run after her, trying desperately to catch her. But she was in her car and speeding down the gravel drive before I could blink. Gone. Just… Gone. In a last ditch effort, I’d jumped in my own and driven after her. I had no way of knowing which way she'd gone, … Continue reading Prologue – Midnight Heartbreak Pt.7: Sandra
Prologue – Midnight Heartbreak Pt.6: Sandra
“Sally Dunn… Will you marry me?” I must have looked like a giddy little school girl, grinning widely as I waited for her response. Sally’s hand rose slowly to her mouth, staring down at the ring I’d had made especially for her. Marquise diamonds set into a gold leaf design on either side of a … Continue reading Prologue – Midnight Heartbreak Pt.6: Sandra

I told her about how I got chewed out, about how distribution was off track for several units of our new seeders … Continue reading Prologue – Midnight Heartbreak Pt.4: Sandra

I couldn’t stop the gasp escaping my lips, my breath taken away as it usually was when I looked at her. I couldn’t … Continue reading Prologue – Midnight Heartbreak Pt.3: Sandra
Prologue – Midnight Heartbreak Pt.2: Sandra
Bixby wasn’t a large bridge by any means… But it was beautiful, peaceful. I’d long ago established it as my getaway when I couldn’t sleep, when I needed to clear my head. It was my thinking spot, my special place to unwind. I used it both to work through difficult situations and to forget about … Continue reading Prologue – Midnight Heartbreak Pt.2: Sandra
Prologue – Midnight Heartbreak: Sandra
“Fuck!... Fuuuck!” The scream tore from my throat, almost painfully, as I berated the night. I jerked the steering wheel clutched in my white knuckled grip, shaking myself back and forth as I took out my anger on the wheel. My seething rage boiled under my skin as my body lurched in my seat, the … Continue reading Prologue – Midnight Heartbreak: Sandra
