“Wow what a coincidence, Sasha,” the blonde handsome potential client greeted Betty. She wanted to die right then and there. This was the worst hangover ever. And to think, the drinking had happened a week ago. “Sasha?” her new colleague Macy said in bewilderment. “Her name is Betty.” “But you told me your name was […]
The Man of My Dreams (Fiction)
There’s a stranger in my bed. He’s a really handsome, hunky stranger, but a stranger, no less. It’s not what you think. One night stands are totally not my thing. But then again, screaming my tonsils off so early in the morning are not usually my thing, too, and yet, here we are. “Clarissa! […]
Kisses from the Future (Fiction)
Dear Love, I know you’re hurting right now and I’m so sorry that I’m not there to put my arms around you and wipe those tears from your eyes. It’s more painful for me to see you in pain than to be in pain myself. But I have no choice. God says you have to […]
X-Men Spinoff
I have an idea for a story – an X-Men spinoff. Years or decades in the future, all humans have evolved to become mutants.

Retailing Relationships
Sometimes when I’m out with fellow single girl friends, we eventually get round to the topic of our love lives. Or to be more correct, the lack thereof. Now the thing is, you can make plans about almost all things in your life – career, purchases, travels – but the one thing you can’t make […]
SuperNan, the Superhero Whose Weapon is a Hula Hoop
Yesterday, after watching Dark Shadows and having lunch at Popeye’s, we went back to Dred’s place nearby so Nantoy could get his backpack which he had left there earlier, and it was in their living room when we came up with the story of Nantoy as SuperNan, the superhero whose weapon is a hula hoop.

Keeping Kelly
She was near tears, I could tell. But she tried her best to keep them at bay. Maybe it was because she did not want to ruin the face that her makeup artist had spent hours on perfecting. But it would not have mattered even if she had ruined the makeup. It would not have […]
