Simon felt an urgent need to pray. He excused himself from the workshop and made his way to the little garden next to the canteen. He didn't know why, but he felt extremely sad. By the time he reached

'And how are we doing today?' Doctor Taylor asked as they entered her office. 'Fine, thanks,' Justin answered for them both. 'Please, have a seat.' The two of them sat down behind her huge wooden desk.

Justin and Rebecca waited. The doctor was running late with a patient, and so they found themselves waiting for almost forty five minutes after they should have been called in. Justin sighed and looked

'Please remember to keep the study door closed,' Justin said as he got into bed. Why? Why must we always keep that stupid door closed? It obviously doesn't want to be closed to begin with! 'I thought it

Rebecca dipped her hand in the lukewarm bath water and moved it around to mix the hot and cold water properly. As she did so, she stared at her own reflection in the mirror. Was she gaining weight? Was

The engineers at Cybernetics Computers had a ritual where they would drop whatever they were busy with each day at ten o' clock, and meet each other in the lounge for a smoke break. Those who didn't smoke

I love this quote! The magic word in there, in my humble opinion, is "believe". Many people conceive great ideas and dreams, but never achieve them, because they don't really believe that they

What's she doing outside? Justin wondered as he parked the car. He locked the door, and as he approached Rebecca, he could sense that something was wrong. She was sitting on a small cement step with her

Rebecca opened the door to the apartment, and for the first time in over a year, it felt cold and empty. Almost unwelcome. It was the absence of Justin that gave the place an aura of bitter grey. She shut

'This is the workshop,' one of the in-house technicians at Cybernetics Computers said as he guided Justin on a tour through the company. 'If the field engineers can't fix a problem on site, they bring

2017 was a really tough year for me; and from what I’ve seen online, and discussions with family and friends, it appears that it had been a really tough year for pretty much everyone else too. Some of

'How's the tie?' Justin asked. 'Hold on, Tanya,' Rebecca said and cradled the phone between her cheek and shoulder as she straightened his tie. She took a step back and eyed her corporate husband from

The music was loud. Too loud. Justin scanned his eyes across the crowd at the party. There were all sorts of people: the fighting couple who managed to pique everyone's interest for at least a minute;

'Oooh, what's that delicious smell?' Rebecca asked as she entered the apartment. 'I call it Justin-ala-surprise,' Justin said and hugged his wife. 'I can get used to this,' she said and giggled. Rebecca

Sunday afternoon lunches at Justin's parents were always a bonus for the young couple. It saved them on food supply, preparing a meal, and also the hassle of washing dishes. After lunch, they caught up

'So, how did the interview go?' Rebecca asked Justin when he picked her up from work. 'All right, I guess,' he said. 'A lot better than any of the other interviews I've been on the past few months.' 'Just

'How do I look?' Justin asked. 'Like some big, fancy exec,' Rebecca said and straightened his tie. She took a step back and admired her well-groomed husband. It had been a while since he dressed up for
