Sales
A Vignette
By Maryanne Peters

My grandfather was in sales. My father regarded it as a lowly occupation, and he often gave his father-in-law a hard time about it. He said that salespeople would say or do anything to close the deal. He said that it required no qualifications and attracted people with short attention spans. My father had qualifications – not great ones, but something to hang on his wall. My grandfather had sales awards, but he didn’t display them.

Double Trouble - Chapter 9 - A Divine Calling

Twins bickering

For two thousand years, demons and humans waged war against each other. Twenty-five years ago, that all changed. Now two demon princesses must navigate a world that's been forever altered - and yet they'll soon find that far too much of it remains the same.

This is the story of Mikaela, and Charlotte, twin princesses (born to the protagonists of Demon Queened), forced to become adventurers as a rite of passage. In theory, it'll be easy! They're literally demi-gods after all. It's not like anything can hurt them... but will it really be so simple for two pampered princesses to live the life of adventurers?

From prejudiced humans to old demonic grudges, hidden villages, romance and potential heartbreak, the girls will soon find that there's a lot more to life than they realized.

This is a sequel to Demon Queened, but I'll do my best to make sure you don't need to read the original to make sense of it. I still recommend the original - it was a good series, in my opinion! - but reading it shouldn't be a necessity.

Studying To Help The Family Chapter 15

DHS Federal Building, Downtown Los Angeles, California:
Agents Wells and Carmen look at all the electronics that were taken from the Bounty resident. They were informed by the agent in charge that they were to recover everything on the hard drives or if it was in the cloud. They wanted access to their personal accounts in the cloud.

Sword and Sacrifice: A Feudal Fairy Tale in One Act

Sword and Sacrifice:
A Feudal Fairy Tale

Every hundred years, a sacrifice is demanded in order to ensure the prosperity of the nation, but one young noble swordswoman has taken it upon herself, not to break the cycle, but to at least postpone the loss of another innocent life for the next hundred years. How will the deity that holds back the dark react to her gesture, though. Will her sacrifice be accepted, or will both she, and the woman she loves, be taken for daring to try and change the pact?

Alpha Versus Aleph Null

In terms of the intellectuals she employed, a short sighted, skinny, nervous, young man with sufficient intelligence to understand her primary code and then develop it was a much better choice than a devastatingly impressive alpha male who’d peaked as a high school quarterback and then scraped his way through college no matter how much his smile turned her female staff into instant bed partners.

Hidden Desires Chapter 5

Jessie’s And Kate’s Place:
Kate looks at Tessa, David/Daisy, Nagisa, Lucas, and Jessie, as they all sat around the dining room table. Kate had asked all the band members to come by for lunch. She had the lunch catered for them, instead of cooking anything.

She noticed that David was looking more and more like Catherine Bach. She saw that David was wearing Daisy Dukes with a nice top. His face was even made up with proper makeup, as a woman would wear.

Maude led her to the PMs’ office suite, where they had to wait a few minutes until another Minister came out and his voice called them in. He stood and shook Willows’ hand.

“Well done, Saturday. I’m told that your delivery of all those bare facts made them sound like a story, with a Q and A thrown in. Older members would never dare to step outside what was given to them.”

“I considered the sheet as a suggestion, sir. It seemed to go down well.”

The next morning, it was a slow start for most of the residents of the apartments. It was Angie wanting her breakfast that roused Marian and Ken, with the added complication that they needed to shower and dress before going downstairs. They did find something in the kitchen to keep Angie satisfied.

When they got to the restaurant, they found Willow sitting alone.

“Good morning, Willow. Where’s Garry?”

When Willow and Marian went into the apartment, Garry was sitting with the TV on. He got up gave Willow a hug and a kiss, and then hugged Marian.

“I expect that you’ve eaten already. I had dinner here, so why don’t I grab a bottle out of the kitchen, and you can relax for a little while.”

The girls sat down while he went to get a bottle and some glasses. After they had all taken a sip, he looked at Willow.

“So, what great feats of governance have you achieved today?”

Eight years by Columbine

Note. After some encouragement I have extended the original story. I hope readers might enjoy the extra pages at the start.

Eight Years - The prequel

A general sat behind a large desk. Behind him picture windows showed a drop of sixteen floors to a parade ground far below with marine recruits who looked little bigger than ants, being put through their paces by drill sergeants.

Hidden Desires Chapter 3

Unique Wear Boutique, Richmond, Va.
Jessie stood outside the simple store where Alice Green and several of her friends worked. It was simple, but it had some nice designs displayed in the windows showing their merchandise. She turns towards the sound of a motorcycle heading her way.

As it got closer to her, she noticed two people riding it. The first person she recognized right away. It was Tony, and the figure behind him was David dressed as Catherine Bach. She was wearing a helmet as they used in the old Dukes of Hazzard television show.

Maude stayed sitting at her desk, and the other two took seats, with Willow on the chesterfield. The door opened and Kelly ushered a young woman in. Willow rose and gave her a welcoming hug, feeling the girl trembling as she did so.

“Come and sit down next to me. The lady behind the desk is Dame Mordaunt Modelle, the other is Janice, her PA. You’ve already met Kelly, or our receptionist and Jill of all things. I’m Willow Randall, so relax, sit down and tell us how you came to be here with us.”

When did Amy take his credit card?

Chris was more thrown by how casually Julia said it, as well as the sight of his card in her hand. It wasn’t as if it would have been difficult for Amy to slip into his room and grab his wallet; she and her friends had been upstairs while he was looking through dick pics before they left for the mall.

Chapter 2: Eden Tech

Behind the tranquil façade of Eden Technologies, where serene glass walls reflect gentle lighting and muted waiting rooms invite relaxation, lies the true heart of the operation—a stark contrast to the soothing scent of jasmine and the melodious murmur of therapeutic waterfalls.

The remainder of the year was full of meetings, get-togethers, talking to voters, and the odd party. The political ones were now far more important than before, and the board meetings were interesting, now she was a candidate. The school meeting was extra special. It wasn’t that they hadn’t had an old scholar as an MP before, it was just that one had never been under thirty with that prospect. The Head told her, with a smile, that she would be called on to attend more of the social events if she won.

Two very important things happened in that January. The first was the sale of the shopping centre being finalised, with Willows’ payment going into her personal account, and the shares issued in her name. The new owner was originally based in Australia, and this was one of their expansion projects into the UK. The share price was around seven pounds each. Most of the others put theirs on the market to add to their cash payment, but Willow held on to hers, as a million shares in a huge company wasn’t something she could pass up.

“Happy Anniversary.”

“Happy Anniversary, Adam”

They were standing next to their car. Adam had rushed around to the driver side so he could hold the door for her. They exchanged a chaste kiss as she stepped out from behind the wheel. Reluctantly, she let go of his hand. “I can’t be late.”

“I’ll be in my usual spot.”

“Love you.”

“Love you. Always in all ways.”

Roana smiled every time he said that. She walked from the car into the restricted area of the stadium.
