I can remember as if it was yesterday, the day I grew up and became a man. I was all of 14 at the time but my body had spurted lately and I had reached the great height of 5ft 10. My sister Annie was a year older but already she was 6 inches shorter than me.
A Naughty Nursery Rhyme A humerous look at the way we wish Dick and Jane stories would have been written when we were kids. Written in the style of Dick and Jane, we get to see them in their teenage years, when hormones flow. This is satire, not stroke.
A story about knowing your lover. Can you ever understand your mate completely? Title borrowed from the GW album, (though I'm not giving it back!) and some codes are implicit. Unedited draft.
Slice of middle-class teen angst and sexual frustration: Already bitter and harsh when his father reappears in his life, a 16 year old boy gets downright uptight at his father's sudden marriage announcement.

At 19, our main character feels left behind. While his friends seem to have moved on to new relationships and experiences, he's still stuck with an unwanted title—virgin. It's not for lack of trying; he's had chances, moments that almost became something more. But for reasons he can’t explain, it never worked out. Disappointment slowly turned into doubt, and doubt turned into the belief that maybe he just wasn’t meant for love or connection.
A younger sister and her friend find her brother lying on a weights bench with his hand stuck under the barbel. They'll free him, but not until they've had some fun.
