Quiet Acts Of Kindness

By Cynthia Sax on March 22, 2025

The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I were waiting in line for a cashier at a grocery store.

A tired-looking woman with two toddlers was paying for her groceries at the cashier to our right.

When she found out she had more groceries than money, her shoulders slumped and she gazed with absolute despair at the groceries she’d selected.

All of them appeared to be essential. And she was clearly trying to decide what to leave back.

Would it be the milk? Or the eggs? Or the loaf of bread? Or…

A lady standing behind her took a twenty dollar bill out of her own wallet. She bent over as though she sought to pick something up.

After she straightened, she tapped the paying woman on her shoulder. “I think you dropped this, miss,” she told her.

Hope flickered in the cash-strapped woman’s eyes. Just for a heartbeat before it dimmed. “I don’t think that’s mine,” she told the kind woman behind her.

“I think it IS yours.” The woman’s voice firmed. “I saw it fall out of your pocket.” She pushed the $20 bill into the other woman’s hand. “You must have forgotten about it.”

The money-short woman looked doubtful but she thanked the lady. She paid for her own groceries. She now had enough cash for all of them. And she left, looking relieved and more able to manage.

The other woman’s quiet act of kindness changed her world. (smiles) That’s some hero sh*t right there!

Cyborg Sizzle Homeland Omnibus

Cyborgs will do anything to protect their Homeland.
* * *
The cyborgs have claimed their Homeland but that has come at a cost. As they reconcile with their pasts, they seek to manufacture happier futures with the females they’re destined to love and cherish forever.
This omnibus includes three stories in the Cyborg Sizzle series: Taking Vengeance, The Cyborg’s Secret Baby and Dark Arsenal.
All of these Cyborg Romances are set in a dark, gritty, often violent universe.

Taking Vengeance

The only force stronger than their hate is their love.
Vengeance hates all humans. They killed every being he ever cared about. When the huge C Model cyborg is told he’s genetically compatible with the enemy, he makes it his mission to capture the female and use her to expel all humans from his home planet.

The Cyborg’s Secret Baby

A fierce cyborg warrior and his curvy human female share a no-longer-so-little secret.
Stealth, a K Model cyborg, knows his passion for Zebrina, the commander’s human daughter, is forbidden, yet he can’t resist the curvy female. He craves her touch, cherishes her sounds of pleasure, would do anything to keep her safe.

Dark Arsenal

A cyborg warrior and a Rebel female’s first mission together might be their last.
Arsenal considers himself to be a disposable cyborg. He drifts from assignment to assignment, forming no connections to anything or anyone. When the cyborg council requires a warrior for a high-risk mission, Arsenal volunteers. He believes no one will miss him if he dies. He doesn’t realize he’s one female’s fantasy.
