Circle to Acceptance continued

The two years with Karl in London had led her to this marriage. It was a time when his arms had enveloped her and made her feel secure. She was just impressionable enough to believe that he would lead her to lofty heights of well-being. He was a big burly man who cocked his head to one side smiling... Sign in to see full entry.

Circle to Acceptance

Circle to Acceptance by Karen Bremer Masuda The swaying of the train lolled her head from side to side even though she was standing and holding on to one of the rings. She was sleepy enough to close her eyes right there, but was aware that she could go careening into one of the many people seated in... Sign in to see full entry.

Outstanding by Karen Bremer Masuda The pavement under Wada’s feet was hot. Hot as hell, the hell that his whole life had become. It was his last straw.

Just a thud, no screeching of breaks, nothing but a kind of soft thud and no sounds like a gasp or a groan to elude that there was a human body involved. Not even a tiny three year old body.

A Shell of the Girl Continued

The sound of excited chatter awoke her. She sat up and moved to the railing of the veranda. It was beautiful. How could she have sat there and not noticed any of this, the sparkling lake with Mt.
