Written a long time ago...] "You were out too late last night Kathleen," her mother told her as she entered the kitchen. "Was that why you missed breakfast?" "Oh mom, it wasn't too late and I was just over the Dayton's," Kathy said, brushing her lengthy dark hair. "Paul had a going away party." "You mean you were giving him a going away party I'll bet," said her father sitting at the table eating. "Dad!" Kathy stammered. "Practically everybody in the neighborhood was there. Even his parents were there." "I don't give a damn," her father said, turning toward her. "Staying out late is one thing, but your not going to stay over a boy's house at night. You hear me?" He turned back to his food. "Especially that Paul Dayton. He's a bum. I don't want you seeing him anymore." "He's not a bum and I didn't stay over. And anyways he's going back to college tomorrow." "There's some lunch left Kathy," her mother said to her, sitting down at the table. "I've already eaten." "And please go brush your hair in the bathroom," her mother added. "Well I'm done brushing," she said, putting the brush in the back pocket of her cut off dungarees, taking a can of soda from the refrigerator. "I'm going now to meet Samantha. She's coming in on the one o'clock bus." ]]> http://gajennings.net/words/stories/?feed=rss2&p=64 0 http://gajennings.net/words/stories/?p=55 http://gajennings.net/words/stories/?p=55#comments Fri, 20 Feb 2009 02:18:02 +0000 Ed. http://gajennings.net/words/stories/?p=55 http://gajennings.net/words/stories/?feed=rss2&p=55 0 http://gajennings.net/words/stories/?p=54 http://gajennings.net/words/stories/?p=54#comments Fri, 16 Jan 2009 23:02:59 +0000 Ed. http://gajennings.net/words/stories/?p=54 http://gajennings.net/words/stories/?feed=rss2&p=54 0 http://gajennings.net/words/stories/?p=53 http://gajennings.net/words/stories/?p=53#comments Sun, 05 Oct 2008 21:16:22 +0000 Ed. http://gajennings.net/words/stories/?p=53 http://gajennings.net/words/stories/?feed=rss2&p=53 0 http://gajennings.net/words/stories/?p=48 http://gajennings.net/words/stories/?p=48#comments Thu, 07 Aug 2008 12:35:19 +0000 Ed. http://gajennings.net/words/stories/?p=48 http://gajennings.net/words/stories/?feed=rss2&p=48 0 http://gajennings.net/words/stories/?p=46 http://gajennings.net/words/stories/?p=46#comments Thu, 10 Jul 2008 23:27:34 +0000 Ed. http://gajennings.net/words/stories/?p=46 http://gajennings.net/words/stories/?feed=rss2&p=46 0 http://gajennings.net/words/stories/?p=45 http://gajennings.net/words/stories/?p=45#comments Tue, 01 Jul 2008 00:29:14 +0000 Ed. http://gajennings.net/words/stories/?p=45 http://gajennings.net/words/stories/?feed=rss2&p=45 0 http://gajennings.net/words/stories/?p=44 http://gajennings.net/words/stories/?p=44#comments Fri, 13 Jun 2008 21:12:06 +0000 Ed. http://gajennings.net/words/stories/?p=44 http://gajennings.net/words/stories/?feed=rss2&p=44 0 http://gajennings.net/words/stories/?p=42 http://gajennings.net/words/stories/?p=42#comments Thu, 12 Jun 2008 15:56:52 +0000 Ed. http://gajennings.net/words/stories/?p=42 http://gajennings.net/words/stories/?feed=rss2&p=42 0 http://gajennings.net/words/stories/?p=41 http://gajennings.net/words/stories/?p=41#comments Fri, 06 Jun 2008 21:50:04 +0000 Ed. http://gajennings.net/words/stories/?p=41 http://gajennings.net/words/stories/?feed=rss2&p=41 0 http://gajennings.net/words/stories/?p=40 http://gajennings.net/words/stories/?p=40#comments Sat, 31 May 2008 17:50:08 +0000 Ed. http://gajennings.net/words/stories/?p=40 if you are not chock full of ideas why would you want to write? Well, while I get plot and story ideas forming in my head constantly, mostly out of the blue, I do get many ideas about aspects of situations and devices from everyday reading (newspapers, magazines, books, the Internet). For example, here is a summary of "various Big Brother gadgets that the government wants to or already has added to surveillance cameras in the UK." ]]> http://gajennings.net/words/stories/?feed=rss2&p=40 0 http://gajennings.net/words/stories/?p=34 http://gajennings.net/words/stories/?p=34#comments Wed, 19 Dec 2007 06:39:08 +0000 Ed. http://gajennings.net/words/stories/?p=34 http://gajennings.net/words/stories/?feed=rss2&p=34 0 http://gajennings.net/words/stories/?p=32 http://gajennings.net/words/stories/?p=32#comments Fri, 23 Nov 2007 03:51:16 +0000 Ed. http://gajennings.net/words/stories/?p=32 http://gajennings.net/words/stories/?feed=rss2&p=32 0 http://gajennings.net/words/stories/?p=31 http://gajennings.net/words/stories/?p=31#comments Fri, 23 Nov 2007 03:33:53 +0000 Ed. http://gajennings.net/words/stories/?p=31 http://gajennings.net/words/stories/?feed=rss2&p=31 0 http://gajennings.net/words/stories/?p=30 http://gajennings.net/words/stories/?p=30#comments Fri, 23 Nov 2007 03:31:02 +0000 Ed. http://gajennings.net/words/stories/?p=30 http://gajennings.net/words/stories/?feed=rss2&p=30 0 http://gajennings.net/words/stories/?p=29 http://gajennings.net/words/stories/?p=29#comments Fri, 23 Nov 2007 03:19:56 +0000 Ed. http://gajennings.net/words/stories/?p=29 http://gajennings.net/words/stories/?feed=rss2&p=29 0 http://gajennings.net/words/stories/?p=28 http://gajennings.net/words/stories/?p=28#comments Fri, 23 Nov 2007 03:17:21 +0000 Ed. http://gajennings.net/words/stories/?p=28 http://gajennings.net/words/stories/?feed=rss2&p=28 0 http://gajennings.net/words/stories/?p=26 http://gajennings.net/words/stories/?p=26#comments Sat, 10 Nov 2007 21:04:20 +0000 Ed. http://gajennings.net/words/stories/?p=26 http://gajennings.net/words/stories/?feed=rss2&p=26 0 http://gajennings.net/words/stories/?p=25 http://gajennings.net/words/stories/?p=25#comments Sat, 10 Nov 2007 03:57:13 +0000 Ed. http://gajennings.net/words/stories/?p=25 http://gajennings.net/words/stories/?feed=rss2&p=25 0
