Chapter Nine; Part Two I settled back to watch the movie, enjoying being with ‘my people’. Oh, I knew that was more fantasy than reality, but it was nice to be surrounded by Asians. Even better, people had no compunctions about yelling things at the screen, so it was more of an interactive experience than… Continue Reading

Dogged Ma; chapter eight
Chapter Eight “Margaret! Let us in!” It was Thursday night, and someone was banging at my door. Shit. It was Wind and Ned. Again, somebody had let them in. I had half a mind to talk to the landlord about the lax security, but it didn’t seem worth the effort. “Wind, Ned, how nice of… Continue Reading

Dogged Ma: Chapter Seven, Part One “Mom, I’m telling you the truth. I was never engaged to Ned.” It was Wednesday afternoon, and I had just arrived home from work.

Dogged Ma; chapter five

Dogged Ma: Chapter four, part two
Chapter Four, Part Two “Girl, you are so working that dress,” Ned said, snapping his fingers as he looked me up and down. “I swear I must be gay because even the sight of you looking so luscious isn’t enough to get me hard.” “Thanks, I think,” I said as I locked the door behind… Continue Reading
Dogged Ma: Chapter three, part two
Chapter Three, Part Two “What are you going to tell people?” Ned asked, wisely dropping the argument. He knew that I was stubborn and contrary.

Dogged Ma: Chapter three, part one
Chapter Three, Part One “Girl, you better open up this door.” Ned was pounding on my door, and he sounded upset. How the hell did he get in my apartment building? Some yahoo must have let him in. All he’d have to do was smile and bat his eyelashes, and there wasn’t a single person—male… Continue Reading

It was my reward for working hard, and it was all that got me through the last ten minutes… Continue Reading
