Ashtrays to Jawbreakers: Volume 8

By June Project

The most powerful thing a person can do is to share their life with complete strangers. A writer does this by writing in a way to make your world fade. As an author progresses in their journey to becoming the best they can be, we like to think we are pulling you the reader along with us. This project is about that. Writers write so readers can read. That is the idea anyway. We do appreciate you the reader coming into our worlds for a few minutes. We hope what we have written will take you away from your day just long enough to forget about it.
Once again, we come before you to stand behind you, the reader, to invite you into our worlds that we have built or in some cases destroy. We hope you enjoy this edition as much as the others. Not read the others? They are available free as well.

Foreword

Writers are writers, no matter where they may be from. No matter what their occupation a writer is a writer. The guy next to you on the bus or that offset co-worker who always looks lost in thought. No matter the region, fiction is fiction. No matter the age of the author, the story remains the same. We as writers strive for that very thing any other non-writer strives for. That is recognition. Recognition of our skills and talents to bend words to fit the need of expression intended to bring you into our world we have created or in some cases destroyed.

We sometimes write on autopilot. Not out of necessity but out of an unconscious effort to become part of the plot. Our mission is to make it as real as all possible but not so farfetched that you close the book in disbelief. Our sole purpose, as a writer, in life is distracting the reader from reality. Sometimes we succeed and others not so much. What we strive to put before you is a means to do just that. Thank you for your following and your loyalty.

Acknowledgements

We would like to thank all of the authors that participated in this edition of the June Project. It is called the June Project for the simple reason that I named it after an author.

For an author who is in that transition position of being under a contract and not publishing at all. It’s a process that might never be fulfilled and lost; ready to give up writing all together. We appreciate the craft of authors in the past and are always looking for new talent in the future.

Thanks to social media more and more distant authors are becoming published. Some for the first time; others for the fourth and fifth but nonetheless a dream of doing so has come true for them.

I have fell in love with you I cannot sleep or eat without you here. It pains me that money is standing in the way, I cannot stop thinking of you. It makes me sad that we are not together. I want to be with you very much so!!! I will not give up I am still trying, I have put some things up for sale to help get the money, I am trying I do not want to miss our chance. You are the one I think of night and day I wish we did not have this obstacle in our way. You are a beautiful women and I have fell in love with you, it does seem strange to love someone I haven't met but I can assure you I have , please do not give up and I will not give up on us meeting I am still trying .

My dear Tony!!! How do you sleep at night?? How's your day??

My treasure, I thought a lot about you and waiting with great impatience the moment when I can write you. My love, of course, I am very upset that my trip needs a lot of money. My dear Tony, I am so ashamed of you. I really want to come to you and make you the happiest. I was so unpleasant that money interfere in our lives with you. But money is nothing compared to our love. Do you agree with me Tony? As you know, I do not have to pay for my tickets. When I give the remaining money on paperwork, I could book a plane ticket. My departure must be from the city of Moscow. I have to go to Moscow for a day before my departure. After all, I must get a visa at the embassy in Moscow. I was told that it is possible to obtain a visa in my town, but it will cost more. Therefore, an agent at a travel agency to me asked me one day before departure to go to the embassy to get visa itself.

My dear, I'm sorry, but I do not understand, cannot you help me? Understand, my dear, if you did not help, we cannot meet. And how are we going to build our relationship if we cannot even meet? Look, I just want to be with her beloved man. My pleasure, we should not stop our relationship. Especially since my tickets are paid by my job. I have to pay only for registration of my documents. Do you understand me, my dear? If we want to build a serious relationship, then we must work together to overcome all obstacles. Do you agree with me, my love? And some money should not be an obstacle in our relationship. I even asked for help from his friends. But, unfortunately, no one can help me. Now I can only rely on your help. My love, what do you think about this? I can hope for your favorite man?

As you know, I will soon leave and I would like to spend it with you. I think this will be the most memorable holiday of my life. My dear, I very much hope that we can be together with you! My dear Tony, if you can help me, then we can be together with you. My dear, now I feel so ashamed and so unpleasant!

I imagine our meeting with you as I come to you as you meet me at the airport, you take a gentle hand, and we are going with you to walk in your city. You show me the sights of the city, then we go to your home. I cook dinner and we're having dinner together by candlelight, and then we go to you in and spend an unforgettable night of love! It's so romantic! You do not think so, my dear? My love, tell me, do you still want to meet me?

My love, I ask myself the question: Why do we - two adults, we love each other, but we cannot meet? Tell me, what prevents us? My dear, I want to spend with you at least one unforgettable evening. I'll dream of you again, Tony, I love you and I will always love you, my prince! A lot of the most sweet and tender kisses that you melted the ice :)

I will eagerly wait for your answer!!!! Hope to see you soon. Sea of tender and sweet kisses!

Yours and only yours forever Jo Ann

Hello my dear, Jo Ann

How are you sweet heart? I am very lonely here without you. I do not sleep much with so much on my mind I very much wish you were here. I thought you gave up on me without receiving a letter for days I was beginning to worry. I wish we were together so I could hold you in my arms. I am however afraid that if you were here I could not let you go I wish you were here to stay, I am tired of being alone. I grow more frustrated everyday as I lose faith for happiness. I still have love and faith that you will arrive in my arms and we will from then be happy forever after. I love you as well I lay in bed and imagine you are there with me even telling you goodnight, but then I awake all alone and feel sadness all over again.

I now have to get ready for work I have another long day of work today. You will be in my thoughts though. I love you and desire you to be here with me. I will wait on your next letter and I will be sad without you.

With Love and tender kisses, yours truly, Tony
